Windows 2008R2 will be x64 ONLY

Reading a small post over at briand maddens site showed that in the near future (when we have all moved to Windows 2008), the releases will be aimed at x64

Good or bad ?

Depends on who you are talking to. Im working in an Healthcare env. where we have som applications from the stoneage that we have tricked to run on Windows XP x86, the move to x64 will put things in a different light for us. Hopefully  will the applicaion pool be virtualized by then. With the use of Thinapp or similar 🙂 No softgrid is not an option with the hefty licensing fees.

Understanding in what way to use vmware support and to look or typical errors

By reading other peoples blogs I recently stumbled upon this man Duncan Epping who runs http://www.yellow-bricks.com

And he pointed med to Vmware Wolfs blog as well..

A nifty way to keep track of normal problems.

New job (again)

Changed job from www.systeam.se working as an IT consultant, Im now employed at the The County Council in Kalmar, Sweden. Working mostly with Virtualization and the problems surrounding it.  This spans over the hardware (for the vmware solution) and the problems around the machines being virtualized. This was a nice opportunity for me that I couldnt say no to.
