Mike's Note
I'm sure that by now you've heard that Exchange server 2007 is only 64 bit. Of course you know that there's a 32bit version for evaluation, but it's not supported in production, but comes in pretty handy if you're extending the schema. What I wasn't aware of is that Exchange Server 2007 won't install on Windows Server 2008 unless you have the installation media with SP1 integrated.

You'll get an error that "Exchange 2007 cannot be used with the version of Windows operating system running on this computer".

Yes, I’m going to stop posting about left 4 dead today. Well, eventually. :-)

Since the game is released today, I figured it’s only fitting to use one of their wallpapers for my desktop.

If you go to the Left 4 Dead Media page, you’ll see 4 wallpapers on the bottom right. The one I chose is titled “Survivors”.

Hope you guys enjoy it, and make sure to watch your back.

Left 4 Dead is Live, but the Demo is Dead

Well, it looks like I was right about the demo, mine says “pre-load complete” now, and when I double click on it, I receive the message that “a locked copy for Left 4 Dead has already been installed on your computer. Purchase it now and start playing immediately”. Oh well.
