A post over at CoolSmartPhone provides links to several pieces of information about the Visto lawsuits filed against Microsoft and their new partnership with NTP.

Ugh, its been a week and there is still a day to go. Hope I can make it. Well we’re actually investigating a mobile email system at work. What with RIM’s troubles and the fact that its much easier to work with Microsoft Exchange for what we will want to do makes the decision easy.
It’ll be pretty cool if we implement – our users will be able to choose their favorite carrier and we’ll be able to provide much more than just access to email and calendar items. Well, I’m installing the VS05 Standard Edition that I got at the launch event yesterday. Should be fun.
I also see that some pissy little company is trying to sue Microsoft on the basis that they have infringed on “push-mail” patents the company holds – they’ve also teamed with NTP who is currently suing RIM for the same thing. Real original. Get a grip, why can’t we get through a year without someone trying to litigate for profit? Here’s an idea – try to win on your own merits, like making sure your product is THE solution – simple, inexpensive, and EASY to use for the average person? Of course, Microsoft’s solution is not as easy as RIM’s, so who knows where it will all end up.
I’m having some weird things happen on my work laptop – again! While connected to VPN, the network stack will lock up! The system will eventually hang and force a reboot. After rebooting, the system, I’m finding a number of things aren’t working but their status in Computer Manager is “OK”. This isn’t a Windows issue either – it is a 3rd party issue whether driver or software and I’ve had the problem for most of this year! I’ve had this happen about 6 time now and each time I end up installing a backup image of the PC. There simply is no error logs, messages or other areas in the software and system to point me to a solution. Googling the web and following up on many forums has lead nowhere. Working with the vendors has simply ended in fingerpointing between them, and then usually finally at MS whose problem it isn’t.
Frustrated beyond belief – guess I re-image…again.
Typical Microsoft event, though larger than previous events in Minneapols. They supposedly had over 4000 people sign up for the event, though with the snowstorm that came through today it did make many people late. It was crowded, something I can’t normally say for Minneapolis event for Microsoft.
Anyway, it was typical marketing fluff in the beginning followed by some semi-technical/executive overviews of the major benefits of Visual Studio 2005. I liked it and picked up the free version (Standard) at the end of the day. Nice day out of the office!
