Microsoft to AV Vendors and EU: "Just trust us"
By Deji Akomolafe on 10/5/2006
Trust is a very special and essential commodity. A very expensive one, too. Hard to earn, but very easy to lose. Once lost, very difficult to recover.......

(Good) friends don't let friends run IE ......
By Deji Akomolafe on 4/26/2006
This is a blog I never thought I'd write - not because I think it's wrong or incorrect or silly. No, it's because I so wanted to believe that I would NEVER AGAIN see the day when one can rightly and postiively conclude that running Internet Explorer is UNSAFE in ANY configuration.

AdminSDwhatchamancallit - Why your permissions "disappear" -PART I
By Deji Akomolafe on 4/24/2006
Although there are several online documentations of this behavior, most with suggested recommendations for a “fix”, the question still crops up every now and then.

Arrogance of power ..... or sheer stupidity
By Deji Akomolafe on 4/13/2006
For as long as I care to remember, the following behavior has ALWAYS been true in a Windows name resolution behavior: Regardless of the configuration (P-node, B-node, H-node, whatever), the Hosts file is ALWAYS consulted first before a lookup request is sent to a DNS server.

IIS6 User Isolation Mode using Active Directory
By Deji Akomolafe on 1/5/2006

SID Duplication Bug in Virtual Server 2005 R2 "Differencing Virtual Hard Disk" implementation
By Deji Akomolafe on 12/21/2005
Virtual Server 2005 R2 edition includes a mechanism for reducing the size of files needed to create multiple Guest Operating Systems within Virtual Server.
