Exchange Edge Services Overview

 I am not sure if anyone has noticed this but it makes for a compelling reason to upgrade from Exchange (anything) to Exchange 2003.  With all the new email born viri and spam this should help a bit.  It even sounds like they are going to do like the Virus API and make a sort of SPAM API so third party software can tie right into the engine to make it super-fast.

 

I can’t wait to beta test this.

 

Oh, here is the link.

Aelita Collaboration Services for Exchange

This looks good.  I wonder if they will let us use the demo for long enough to copy the “real” GAL from the E2k world on a test E2k3 environment? 

Synchronize GALs and free/busy times securely between organizations. Administrators no longer need to duplicate contacts between several address books and it eliminates the need for users to maintain complex personal address lists. Because it uses the existing Outlook client, no user training is required.

Portable WiFI Access Point?

This man needs a PowerBag™ 2.0, like BAD! J

I hate hotel rooms. It wasn't too long ago that I traveled with an acoustic coupler and a small tool kit to re-wire the hotel rooms phone so I could dial in from the road. Phone jacks were a big plus. These days I get grumpy if there's no Broadband access in the room but even when there is the desk where the broadband connection is located is usually horrible for working. What I'd love to see is a small WiFi Access point that I could plug into the connection and then work in that nice comfortable chair in the corner. Something really small and light. Maybe Apple will make a mini-Airport... A person can dream can't they?
