  Industry Alerts

Proactive security management and software updates are recommended.  Regular review of methodology and vulnerabilities are of value if system uptime is important for both internal and external operations.

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is available and offers significant improvements.  There are both x86 and x64 editions (this will be the last 32-bit server release).  The Hyper-V virtualization technology offers new options previously available only to high end shops.  This includes legacy, scalable, and isolation capabilities.  There are now Small Business Server (SBS) and Essential Business Server (EBS) based on the Windows 2008 server platform that includes Exchange and SQL bundles.  The licensing has also changed, offering multiple server support and better pricing for larger installations

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the same kernel as Windows 7, has been released to manufacturing (RTM).  It offers significant refinements and enhancements over Windows 2008 while not generally compromising compatibility.  And as expected, there is only a x64 edition.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is now available for both x86 and x64 platforms with new data types, scalability, replication, and application development improvements.  Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 is on its way.

Microsoft  Windows 7 client operating system offers usuability of Windows XP and security of Windows Vista.  It has significant UI improvements making daily productivity much better.  There are x86 and x64 editions.  Look for the product to become available in October 2009.

Microsoft Office 2007 productivity software is a significant upgrade that includes a new ribbon bar, replacing the existing toolbar and menu options in the core applications.  This allows for enhanced productivity improvements, once users acclimate  to the new innovative design.  Users that have spent time with the new User Interface (UI) really like it after getting over the initial learning curve.

Mozilla Firefox 3.5, a powerful and feature filled, multi-platform (Windows, Macintosh, Linux), open source browser, is available.  This version incorporates new visual enhancements, additional standards support, and security enhancements. 

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 offers key new security updates, visual enhancements, and tabbed browsing, this version is a great follow-up to Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0.  Many users that had moved to Firefox because of IE 6.0 and 7.0 limitations are returning to IE 8.0.
