Windows Server 2008 Installation Walkthrough
I installed Windows Server 2008 in my Virtual PC hosted in my Vista Ultimate. Here is an walkthrough of the installation options and steps. One thing to note is that I did not enter Product Key and thus was taken to the screen of selecting which edition I want to install.
Another change I noticed from the Beta releases (I havent tried RC) is that the Administrator account was not given a password and we had to manually set it, but now, after installation, the first thing you are supposed to do is to set your Administrator account password
APPLE NEWS ROUND-UP FOR 6 FEBRUARY
Apple Inc
Microsoft's unsolicited $45 billion bid for Yahoo announced last Friday sparked off speculation the company might receive a rival bid from a media company like News Corp or Apple. CNNMoney has reported that News Corp. is not considering a bid for Internet giant Yahoo, said CEO Rupert Murdoch during an earnings call with analysts Monday. As usual nothing from Apple... Although itwire has a very interesting article on the whole matter stating that Microsoft will miss out on one of the best parts of Yahoo! “Yahoo-Japan has a market capitalisation close that of Yahoo! inc, makes similar but growing profits and will remain a publicly traded company on the Tokyo stock exchange, only 33 percent owned by Microsoft if the proposed acquisition goes through.”
Mac Hardware
Are new Macbook Pros on there way?? MacRumours.com seems to think so saying “Last week, we'd heard an unconfirmed report that three new MacBook Pro models had appeared in Best Buy's inventory tracking system. Some inventory screenshots (1, 2) we received today appear to confirm this earlier report, showing off the upcoming $1999 price point MacBook Pro (name cut off in image).”
OS X & Software
Apple continues it round of Leopard builds - just 4 days after build 9C27 was seeded comes 9C30 which is reported to have fixed some issues with Time Machine and AFP X Client
The sydney morning herald has an interesting article on Linus Torvald’s (the father of Linux) thoughts on Apples OS X Leopard he had this to say... "I don't think they're equally flawed - I think Leopard is a much better system," he said. "(But) OS X in some ways is actually worse than Windows to program for. Their file system is complete and utter crap, which is scary." but he would say that as really he was just going on about how wonderful Linux is.
iPods, iTunes & Apple TV
Apple has released a 32GB version of the ipod touch retailing at $499 US ($100 more than the 16GB version & $200 more than the 8GB version). Aside from the memory bump it looks like no other features have been added.
iPhone
Apple has released a 16GB version of the iPhone retailing at $499 US ($100 more than the 8GB version). Aside from the memory bump it looks like no other features have been added.
The latest market data from analyst firm Canalys puts the iPhone market share of the US Smartphone market at 28% - ahead now of all microsoft mobile devices combined - hows that for a wipping ;-)

Wikipedia on Vodafone live!
If you are in New Zealand and use Vodafone live! services, check the Mobile Wikipedia, developed by Instinct.The service is a WAP interface to Wikipedia and can be accessed from Vodafone live! > Communities > The Answer Is Here.
A few comments though:
- I tried it using a Palm Treo 500v (screenshot) which is the first Windows Mobile Vodafone live! compatible handset. It all worked ok but the articles themselves were not showing any formatting If you test this with other handsets (Nokia, Sony Ericcson, etc) please leave a comment how the experience goes.
- Why didn't Vodafone use something like "Mobile Wikipedia" in the link, instead of "The Answer Is Here"? It would probably attract more attention.
Good luck with the new service.
