Windows Vista SP1

by | Jan 22, 2007 | Technology, Uncategorized

Vista has been available for corporates since November; the retail launch is readying for the end of January.

Meanwhile there is a lot of discussion about Vista Service Pack 1 and when that will appear.

Microsoft Watch and a few others point to ‘project Fiji’ as SP1; and talk about a fall/autumn availability. This is slightly sooner than Windows XP SP1 (just under a year) – but if it’s true it will accelerate enterprise deployments for those that ‘wait for SP1 before deployment’.

Tweaking Collanos Workplace

by | Jan 19, 2007 | Evangelism, Technology, Uncategorized

I’ve blogged about Collanos before.

I’ve had to tweak the client to make best use of bandwidth. I’m finding that because most of my team are on pretty fast connections – fast DSL, fast LAN – the default settings are too conservative.

I suggested to the Collanos people that they have a ‘I have infinite bandwidth’ setting.

Here are my two settings that I changed.

Under Tools – Preferences, select Connections. Select Individual and click Apply.

Next click on Advanced Bandwidth Settings and bump up the upload and download speeds; also set the upload and download to use more threads.

100 days of ZENworks – flying home. Check-in powered by NAL

Post 2 of many in the next 100 days – talking about ZENworks.

Ah – time to travel home from Düsseldorf. Up early and to the airport.

It’s great seeing your product in use. Lufthansa check-in desks are powered by NAL. Check-in agent logs in, up pops NAL and all of the applications.

I’m travelling United from Chicago to Salt Lake City – and United are also a ZENworks customers.

Take a look next time you fly. You might be having your check-in made possible by ZENworks.
