Microsoft Patches Security Flaws in Windows, SQL Server, and Exchange
by Alex Woodie
Microsoft published four patches for nine security vulnerabilities in Windows and other products yesterday during its monthly Patch Tuesday event. All of the flaws carry the rating of 'important,' which is a step below 'critical' in Microsoft's severity rating system. Nevertheless, newly disclosed flaws in Exchange Server and SQL Server could open the door to potentially harmful attacks from internal and external threats, and as such they should not be taken lightly.

Hyper-V Goes RTM as VMware Hiccups
by Alex Woodie
Yesterday marked the official delivery of Microsoft Hyper-V, the much-anticipated hypervisor that carves an X64 server into multiple virtual servers or PCs running separate images of Windows Server, Windows client, or Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems. With broad backing from its huge partner program, Microsoft's chances of success with Hyper-V look promising, especially with the recent problems of its rival VMware. However, Hyper-V ships without some critical tooling to manage virtual machines. READ MORE >

Microsoft Unveils New 'Select Plus' Volume Licensing Program
by Alex Woodie
Microsoft last week unveiled a new volume licensing plan called Select Plus that it says will simplify licensing for customers with distributed operations.

VMware Replaces Co-Founder Greene with Microsoft Hotshot
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Call it a sign of the times, or the inevitable result of Microsoft entering a market that someone else has controlled for a while. Whatever the case, the coincidence, if that is all that indeed it is, that the VMware subsidiary of disk array maker and software wannabe EMC decided to oust its co-founder, Diane Greene, as president and chief executive officer, at the same time as Microsoft delivered its Hyper-V hypervisor for Windows, and replaced her with a Microsoft hotshot is still pretty jarring.
