Nice article from Mark Russinovich (Systernals guy) about the discovery on his computer…

The one big feature about VMware 5.5 over VMware 5.0 was the ability to import and use Virtual PC images.  But all I get is an error code every time I try to do it with the Virtual PC image I have.

I am not sure on a firm timeline but VistaDB has said that they are going to support .NET 2.0 features in the 3.0 release of VistaDB Server.   The only date that they have on their website is 2006.

I have been trying out the MSN Toolbar for a little while, at first just to get the tabbed browser.  However, I do like the results I get back from Google better then MSN.   I then found that you can change the settings in MSN Toolbar to actually search Google instead of MSN.  Nice!

VMWare 5.5 supports Virtual PC images - sweet!
