3 Steps to running XP apps in Windows 7
How to change 50 local admin passwords in 2 minutes
Not long ago I was in need of a decent Virtual Lab machine on a limited budget.
As I started to use Windows 7 as my primary OS I was very impressed at how well it runs as a whole. Far faster than Vista, prettier and more functional than XP. Oh, and PowerShell 2.0 of course! Out of all the apps I’ve installed so far I’ve only found one [...]
I think I’m going to start doing weekly updates… we’ll see how long it lasts
So, I have a bunch of good ideas for VMware related Powershell scripts but I’m holding off until I finish reading Hal’s book (Managing VMware Infrastructure with Windows PowerShell TFM) so that I don’t have to go [...]

Not long ago I was in need of a decent Virtual Lab machine and my only budget was whatever I could get from selling off some old computer / networking equipment that was just taking up shelf space in the laundry room and seriously annoying my wife.
