Deadline closes on MS eMail Servers

January 1st marks the first day that MS Exchange Server 5.5 support is not available. Novell's superior GroupWise product offers lower TCO and back-end administration. Happy new year to all the Exchange5.5 admins out there too!

Zero-Day attack issue plagues MS

Seems the folks at Microsoft are mum about the latest Zero-Day attack issue. What's scary about the WMF vulnerability is that a .WMF can be renamed to a common .gif or .jpeg and have the same effect on security. They've issued just a Security Advisory with no fix.

BES / BBerry _now you have it, now you don't!_

Less than a year of having RIM's BES4 talking GW65 worldwide, the plug might get pulled outside of market forces. Novell's Collaboration suite is not the only one affected as MS-Exchange and IBM Notes/Domino BBerry communications can also halt if the NTP vs. RIM injunction goes through. Read about it _here_
