Windows Server 2008 Forum Now Open

Posted by – February 19, 2008

I recently opened, yesterday in fact, a new forum for Windows Server 2008 help, support and discussions. Once Windows Server 2008 is released to the public the new forum will be the place to discuss anything related to the new version of Windows Server.

When Windows Server 2008 is adopted by more people I will combine Admin Reports Forum into the new forum to make a one stop shop for all your Windows Server needs.

Launch date set for redesigned IBM blades

Posted by – February 3, 2006

IBM plans to unveil its second-generation BladeCenter on Feb. 8, CNET News.com has learned, as it tries to keep its top spot in sales of thin but high-end servers.
