Apples and Microsofts
Posted by Michael Swanberg on August 20, 2009

Email Forwarding with Hotmail
Posted by Sunil Setty on January 24, 2009
Email forwarding with Hotmail, not as easy as you think. If you have the free version of hotmail you can't forward out of the Microsoft email family - hotmail, live, msn, etc. But for a price you can get it done.

Posted by Sunil Setty on October 19, 2008

Hasta la Windows 7, Baby
Posted by Michael Swanberg on September 24, 2008
Okay, there's been a lot of electronic ink spilled over Microsoft's recent decision to leave some of the basic applications out of Windows 7, notably an email client and a photo manager. I haven't totally made up my mind yet, but I think this is a huge mistake.

10 Essential Windows Utilities/Programs to Install
Posted by Michael Swanberg on February 14, 2008
I find it helpful to keep a list of the things that I need to install on a new or re-installed Windows system. I am going to list the specific apps that I install but also talk about them in a generic sense in terms of their function. Please feel free to comment on deficiencies of this list, or also why some of these things may not be needed.

Apple vs. Microsoft
Posted by Michael Swanberg on June 20, 2007
Why does everyone insist on comparing Apple to Microsoft? In my opinion, there is no comparison. It's apples and oranges... er, apples and flags.
