Making Your Business Disaster Ready with Virtual Infrastructure
http://itw.itworld.com/GoNow/a14724a177107a428998256a21
Business continuity and disaster recovery are critical to managing risks
in a successful business. Between 60-90% of companies that don’t have a
proactive disaster recovery plan find themselves out of business within
24 months of experiencing a major disaster. This VMware white paper
discusses how to make disaster recovery cost effective with virtual
infrastructure.

Outlook 2007 formatting tips
By Mitch Tulloch, MVP

Recently, I pointed out how to retrieve misplaced email in Outlook 2007.
I said that if you wanted to issue a query against all your mail items
and not just the currently selected folder, you had to click the fiddly
little dropdown arrow to the right of the Instant Search box and select
Search All Mail Items. Two readers pointed out to me that there's an
easier way.
