I am no friend of windows, but can be still considered as neutral towards microsoft.
So, today’s MUST topic is iphone 3G , be practical, go to check PK Chan’s chart.
I have no luck in HTHK’s lucky draw. Even worse, I was appointed to attend Microsoft HK’s MIX essentials 2008.
That’s done?
No.
MS’s web technology lag is still there, MS HK has even more jet lag. Since I do not subscribe news from MSDN, my lag makes the previous mentioned negligible.
1. Windows Live ID can be used as a SSO passport ( nothing new ) , for FREE ( really ? )
2. After the merger of UWANTS and DISCUSS.COM.HK , the local forum giant is migrating their back end from Linux to Windows 2008 , says Oscar ( of UWANTS ) , with charts about performance and stability gain. ( WTF ??? )
- rational 1 - there are more Certs MS engineers, while not much hard core linux guys.
Ben consider this is TRUE
- rational 2 - their new h/w cannot be driven to max power by linux, because of driver issue.
Ben has a little doubt…. but it can be TRUE
- rational 3 - MSWS 2008 serves more PV per machine
Hey… you deploy those MSWS 2008 with NEW h/w, not right ? Is the comparison fair ???
- rational 4 - MSWS 2008 does not hang so far ( after half year of prod. deploy )
OK, MS does a good job
- rational 5 - MSWS 2008 supports PHP and fastcgi
Ben: WTH your linux + apache guys NOT deploying fastcgi ( or memcached and blah blah blah ) ?????
3. The HKGOLDEN guys ( in fact from Fevaworks ) show new feature for IE 8 users
Ben: they are misleading on what is RSS. they are not using Microformats, hey !
4. With silverlight and expression and blah blah blah, 蘇絲黃 ’s new site 07807.com has been a flashy showcase.
Done.
( and MS gives out pipes of Silverlight books and MIX shirts )
