type='text'>Microsoft Ending Support for Older Products</title><content type='html'>by Larry Seltzer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the coming months Microsoft will be ending support—including security updates—for a number of important products. If you've avoided updating so far, you might want to get moving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first event will be April 13, 2010 (like all end-of-support days, a "Patch Tuesday"), when support will end for 2 important configurations: Windows Vista with no service packs (a.k.a. Vista RTM and Vista SP0), and Windows XP SP2. If you are running these versions after that April 13 you will no longer receive updates or support. In each case, the answer is obvious: Apply the latest service pack (SP2 for Vista, SP3 for XP). Better yet, if you're running XP, go get a new PC running a secure operating system, such as Windows 7.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2360664,00.asp"&gt;Read the full article on PC Magazine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4842641122041614543-3980075483855449912?l=getafreshperspective.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2360664,00.asp' title='Microsoft Ending Support for Older Products'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getafreshperspective.blogspot.com/feeds/3980075483855449912/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getafreshperspective.blogspot.com/2010/02/microsoft-ending-support-for-older.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842641122041614543/posts/default/3980075483855449912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842641122041614543/posts/default/3980075483855449912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getafreshperspective.blogspot.com/2010/02/microsoft-ending-support-for-older.html' title='Microsoft Ending Support for Older Products'/><author><name>GetService LLC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02452964813488113110</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q31QeL7xRDw/S3zlU9dG0CI/AAAAAAAAABA/tm3hCV4GZs8/S220/G_Icon.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842641122041614543.post-692578049544300945</id><published>2010-02-15T20:44:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-15T20:49:36.148-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Internet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Avoiding Internet Problems'/><title type='text'>15 Internet Annoyances, and How to Fix Them</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;The Internet's a wonderful thing, but it can also be a royal pain.

Tapes vs. Disk Based Backup</title><content type='html'>Let's face it: tape is an OK product for backups. When it comes to recovering your business data, however, tape presents a unique set of problems. Gartner Group reports 50% of tape backups fail to restore. Replacing tapes is costly and discovering that your data is not there when you need it is, well, potentially devastating. You know that you should protect your business from disaster. If you lost your data and systems you will have a long slow crawl back to resuming your operations - your network could be down for a day or more. Worse yet, you may not be able to recover anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008 we became sick and tired of replacing failed tape drives for customers. In a six month period I had to be the bearer of bad news to four business owners and explain that they would need to cough up additional cash to replace their backup drive - by the way, it happened to both Dell and HP products. In some cases, their backup software licensing costs went up drastically too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result, we did some research and found a disk based, bare metal recovery solution that not only works as promised but it is very affordable: &lt;a href="http://www.unitrends.com"&gt;Unitrends&lt;/a&gt;. It is the ultimate all-in-one backup solution. And when it comes simplifying management of your backups? Let's just say our customers can sleep at night and so can we knowing that Unitrends is providing the very best data protection and business continuity!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we passionate about backup and recovery? Yes! We can smile again too, because managing our customer's business information doesn't have to be complex and costly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://dnn.unitrends.com/demo/u.html"&gt;View Unitrends Flash Demo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4842641122041614543-7787543768431590585?l=getafreshperspective.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://getservice.com/index.php/solutions/backup-and-recovery' title='Backup Tapes vs. Disk Based Backup'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getafreshperspective.blogspot.com/feeds/7787543768431590585/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getafreshperspective.blogspot.com/2010/02/backup-tapes-vs-disk-based-backup.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842641122041614543/posts/default/7787543768431590585'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4842641122041614543/posts/default/7787543768431590585'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getafreshperspective.blogspot.com/2010/02/backup-tapes-vs-disk-based-backup.html' title='Backup Tapes vs. Disk Based Backup'/><author><name>GetService LLC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02452964813488113110</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q31QeL7xRDw/S3zlU9dG0CI/AAAAAAAAABA/tm3hCV4GZs8/S220/G_Icon.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842641122041614543.post-1306983091475779573</id><published>2009-09-14T16:38:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-23T13:47:56.972-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Can You Afford Not To Virtualize?</title><content type='html'>Now more than ever, IT organizations must find a way to cut costs, quickly and dramatically, in order to weather the onslaught of this global economic crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Analysts and CIOs agree that virtualization is the most strategic IT investment a company can make in these troubled times, and more than 100,000 customers across the world—including all of the Fortune 100—are already using VMware® solutions to "do more with less", turning financial woe into a opportunity to improve IT operations while making an immediate and positive impact on the bottom line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Join us for a free lunch and learn event on this topic September 24, 2009 at 11:30 am.
