I'm afraid not, though I understand that the next release is likely to add support for encryption.

Hey Tom, do you know if this has changed? I have heard windows phone 7.5 has been released and was wondering if that is considered provisionable?

Comment on Apple Mac OSX Wi-Fi Diagnostic Tools by timfg

Hmm. Much better than any native tools I've found in Win7. Googling around for equivalents did turn up these guys though:

Another one to waste my life with. But £20k of stamp duty still feels too great a cost to work around my problem.

Have got one of these sitting at home to try out - if the 5GHz can reach the area of my problem, I may just give up on trying to resolve it...

Comment on Office 365 and Skype by Quora

Quora — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 20:26:07 +0000

What is the product strategy for Microsoft Office Communicator(Lync) after the acquisition of Skype by Microsoft?...

I think the key is future integration between Skype and the Lync services provided by Office 365. At the moment although 365 offers Lync's IM, presence and conferencing, it doesn't provide the telephony capability that the on premises version has. If...

Oh yeah, the video conferencing thing will definitely work for them, especially as I'm guessing it'll be for XBox Live Gold members only.

I think that there is a more direct way to make Skype work for them, and that is integration with the XBox 360 and Kinnect platform. That way sons have an excuse for parents to buy them a new 360 while leaving the old one at home so they can talk together and meet up for family film night on Sundays etc. Thing is XBox is a consumer service to so it's pretty much only a case of knocking up a client for the XBox/Kinnect combo no worries about creating SLA's etc.

Comment on Windows 8 Application Delivery – AppX and App Stores by Ferdi

Ferdi — Mon, 02 May 2011 13:36:31 +0000

Very good article, let's hope MS will combine the power of MSI with the low impact of App-V/ClickOnce/.../AppX(?) to something new.

But I don't think they will do that, because they are generating more business/money with different technologies side-by-side.
In future, we'll probably have to package not only MSI and App-V, but additionally AppX for mobile apps.

I like your idea of having one repository/app store where the user/admin can choose his software, and the integration of local servers/SCCMs.

MSI-Killer? I don't think so. Thrilled to see the AppX stuff gain momentum
