Mitchell Ashley, Converging on Microsoft: Last week Microsoft stunned its partner channel by significantly changing the terms of Microsoft financing for customer deals. Previously Microsoft offered partners very favorable terms, by only requiring one Microsoft license in any deal financed. That's no longer the case as Microsoft now requires a minimum of 35% Microsoft product and services to receive financing. No Clone 2007: Safely remove duplicate files (or e-mails)
Ron Barrett, A Better Windows World: I've unearthed another freebie tool to make your e-mail admin's life a little easier, a product called No Clone 2007.

Any user could post a response -- was that a good idea? Self-Documenting Systems, part 1
Glenn Weadock, Windows Server 2008: While changing a tire recently, I ran across something I hadn't seen before: plastic caps over the lug nuts. There was no obvious way to remove them, so I checked the yellow sticker next to the jack in the trunk – no clues there. The owner's manual was more informative, instructing me to use a tool that was, unfortunately, missing … but a McGyver'd clothes hanger did the trick. Inherit Permissions in SQL Server
Brian Egler, SQL Server Strategies: Many of our customers are still working with SQL Server 2000 and are in the process of upgrading to either SQL Server 2005 or 2008.
