schestowitzLooking forward to the BytesMe banner assuming it's made without my intervention. It should be added to listings in http://bytesmedia.co.uk/ where a lot of our efforts can be organised. I might also wish to occasionally make a very short video about something.Jun 16 08:40

schestowitzI never communicated with Pogson directly. He does, however, have contact details in his Web site. It seems like he got the "Quinn" treatment.Jun 16 14:47

schestowitzYes, exactly. We had some articles about this (Exchange migrations despite sysadmins being against it) a few years back. Some people lose their jobs due to it.Jun 16 14:47

schestowitzYes, we are generally winning this fight. Mono and Novell are down, software patents are left to fight, and Microsoft is becoming just a patent troll. Jun 16 14:47
abeNd-orgyes, ive delt with plenty of groupwise to exchange migrations where the only reason it happened was so the CxOs could have outlookJun 16 15:04
