Top pick of the week

Windows Mobile 6.5 - is it as cool as the iPhone?
Convering on Microsoft blogger Mitchell Ashley writes, "Windows Mobile 6.5 has been unleashed in Barcelona sporting a new touch screen interface akin to the iPhone. (Actually the interface looks more similar to LG touch phones.) 6.5 is a sportier, sexier user experience. Included is a new web browser that displays like a web browser should, HTML enabled e-mails, scrolling screens that have the iPhone 'bounce,' gestures for screen swipes and scrolling, and new services like Windows Mobile Marketplace and My Phone. ...WM 6.5 is more than a point release, it really is a significant upgrade."

Is the MCSE really dead?
The demise of the MCSE is greatly exaggerated. You can still earn your MCSE on Windows Server 2003, since there will be Windows Server 2003 systems running for several years.

Software Assurance contracts and the R2 philosophy
"Release 2" is a vehicle Microsoft uses between major software releases. ... One rationale for R2 software is to give those organizations purchasing Software Assurance return on their investment.
