Google Apps Team Edition – initial thoughts
Link: Google Apps Team Edition – initial thoughts
Google have released another edition of their online apps suite called Team Edition. This differs from the other versions in that it doesn’t have an email component and thus doesn’t require configuring DNS records to get started.

Windows Server 2008 RTM
Microsoft have just announced that Windows Server 2008 has been released to manufacturing. I’m really looking forward to this product becoming publicly available and my own testing has been very positive so far.
I have to correct one point made in Microsoft’s blog announcement, it was stated that Server Core doesn’t install a GUI which is incorrect:
With server core, you can even install a GUI-free server.
When you set up a Server Core box, you still get a GUI, but you don’t have a shell. This isn’t just semantics, it’s a fundamental difference. A Linux or Unix server can be installed without a GUI – all you get is a terminal screen. However the Server Core still presents a graphical interface, you get windowed command prompts and can run several graphical tools and utilities, but you don’t get the Explorer shell or associated components.
