Command Prompt Here - Vista
I'm probably the last person to pick up on this little Vista Feature but you don't need to use a Powertoy anymore to get the very useful "Open Command Prompt Here" explorer context menu shortcut. Today searching for the Powertoy I stumbled across this post by Tim Sneath from 2006 :... Read More...

Windows Longhorn Server Beta 3
Last night I replaced my Windows Vista based development Virtual Machine with a fresh new Windows Longhorn Server Beta 3 installation. I've always preferred using a server based OS for development instead but this is the first Longhorn build that feels solid enough to run as a development machine. Wikipedia... Read More...

PowerShell, Windows Vista Ultimate Extras and WLM 8.1
The original post was titled Ultimate Extras vs PowerShell as I felt a little cheated seeing Hold'Em Poker ship before Windows PowerShell but I jumped the gun a bit. PowerShell 1.0 for Vista is available for download !. While the Windows Vista launch went by with less buzz and fanfare than expected there... Read More...

SSL Certificate Updated
I've updated the SSL Certificate on dotnet.org.za to a proper web server certificate from Thawte to resolve the problems with Windows Cardspace based logins caused by the previous intermediate CA reliant Starfield certificate. (What a waste of money that was) If you've previously assigned an... Read More...

TortoiseSVN status cache crash
A little annoyance with TortoiseSVN on Vista (had it with all versions up to RC2 and suspect it would still happen with RTM) is that every now and then browsing a folder with files under Subversion control in it the TortoiseSVN status cache process would crash. You'll see something like the entry... Read More...

Windows Vista RC2
Windows Vista RC2, most likely the final release candidate before RTM is available to MSDN subscribers for download. Having had most of the CTP's and the betas installed, also some of the original Longhorn betas, my mileage have definitely varied, especially with RC1 which seems to correspond to other...

Vista Build 5472
I eventually got around to upgrading my desktop from Windows Vista Beta 2 to build 5472, the July CTP. For a few minutes after starting the upgrade I was under the impression that my whole desktop would be upgraded in the background and while I could continue working but alas there was a section during...

I suspect people using Beta 2 of Vista will be stuck with .NET Framework 3.0 Beta 2 until more recent updates to Vista becomes publicly available. This... Read More...
