I caught up with Senior Vice President Eric Rudder while in Denmark recently. We were both there for the Microsoft Development Center Copenhagen's TechFest 2007. Several ISVs come to MDCC campus to show off their innovations. You will see several of these technologies, and meet the people behind them, on Channel 9 over the coming days. It's been a while since Eric has been on C9, so I wanted to see what's new in his world. What is he working on these days? We also talk about TechFest and, of course, Channel 9. Eric is a big fan. This is a quick conversation. You will see more Eric on Channel 9 in the future when he is able to talk more specifically about what he and his team are developing.

Example, lets assume a list contains month numbers. 10 9 8 5 4 3 I can ignore 12 and 11 since*10 is the top most value, and I can ignore 2 and 1 since 3 is the bottom most value. but I want to insert the missing between values of 7 and 6, because there a values above and below it. I have a way of accomplishing this, by looping a few times through the list, but it doesn't seem very intuitive or efficient. any thoughts? More... View All Our Microsft Related Feeds

http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/ibm-creates-a-chip-sized-supercomputer/ IBM've created a chip which transfers data via light, not electricity. No more overheating either... http://ms-os.com/Themes/AlmostGlass/images/icon-quote.gif engadget wrote:Those super-geniuses over at IBMhave whipped up a new form of CPU transfer which utilizes pulses oflight instead of electricity to move data between cores on a chip. Thenew technology -- which is one-hundred times faster than current speeds-- is called silicon nanophotonics, and if implemented, could downsizesupercomputers to laptop stature. The invention is unhindered by commonproblems with electrical chips, such as overheating and breakdown ofdata on short trips, allowing signals to pass unmolested over greaterdistances. Using this process, data can be moved a few centimeters,while requiring one-tenth as much power, resulting in lower operationalcosts for supercomputers. Will Green, a researcher at IBM, says thatthe company's creation will, "Be able to have hundreds or thousands ofcores on a chip," and will result in huge speed boosts.

Hi, I am having a strange problem with mail forwarded from another account to Hotmail and I was wondering if anyone here ever experienced anything similar or how you would troubleshoot it. My colleague set up a forward on his Linux server so that all emails directed to giovanni@mycomanyname.com are forwarded to my hotmail account. Lately only a few emails have made it to my hotmail account (only those I do send myself or from my colleague’s yahoo account, none from other senders). I disabled all junk mail filters, but I am not sure this is a hotmail issue. Has anyone ever experienced something like this? Thank you. More... View All Our Microsft Related Feeds
