"Building Better Geeks Since 2004"
Spotted on a server today: 
That’s 522 TB, for those of you playing the home game.
Props to Bo Bracey for the screen shot. I asked him how big that hard drive really is, and his response was: 
That reminds me of this classic TechTV video, circa 2001:
The funny thing is that today no tech show would be caught dead using a real live chalkboard to explain something.
If you attended a TS2, TechNet or Windows Server 2008 launch event in 2008, you may have gotten a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate with Service Pack 1 in a gray envelope like the one pictured on the right.
If you’ve not opened that package yet (I know I didn’t) you need to before the end of December 2008 and register to get your installation key.
To register, grab your envelope, find the 8-digit alpha-numeric code inside, and go to http://www.registerwindowsvistasp1.com today. Then simply fill in your contact info, take a short survey, and PID will be emailed to you in a matter of minutes.
Note: This key will work for the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Vista, but the CD inside the envelope only has the 32-bit version.

Hot off the presses, just got a case of the “Windows Small Business Server 2008 Unleashed” books in.
The circle is complete! On to the next project. 🙂
Like a big catfish going after a dough ball, folks are snapping up malware like it’s a $20 bill blowing across a parking lot. Specifically, we’re talking about the old “Antivirus XP”, which is now making the rounds re-branded as “Antivirus Plus”.
Behold…

Fake Infection Alert
And I’d be willing to bet there are entries in the Quick Launch bar and start menu as well.
ATTENTION PLANET EARTH!
** Antivirus XP 2008, 2009 and Antivirus Plus are SPYWARE! **
They are not helpful programs, and you certainly shouldn’t give these folks your credit card number, OK??
Scroll down for removal instructions. Thank you! 🙂
Props to Kevin Royalty [SBS-MVP] for snapping these pics on his camera phone.
REMOVAL
According to Kevin, our old pal Malwarebytes still gets rid of this nasty. Thanks for the heads-up Kev!
