It looks like Microsoft may actually be serious in their endeavors to become more than a niche player in the event management field with the Operations Manager product line.

I can only laugh at the latest explanation of the missing Whitehouse Emails, they migrated from Lotus to Exchange and Exchange does not have a defacto archiving system. First thing I want to point out is that such a lapse is due to very poor product capabilities evaluation or poor communication of requirements. I wonder [...]
After some decades I finally found something on which I can agree with the New York Times (second question)….
Microsoft has released a USB thumb drive device that allows police to completely unlock a “suspects” Windows based computer system.
