Yay! More Free books, what a good way to start off the new year!
It’s unknown when this expires, so I’d definitely suggest downloading sooner than later!
Look forward to another Virtualization focused post in a few days, or a few cycles, grin.
It’s been asked – Hey what kind of features do you get when you use Google Apps in the Standard Edition?
For those of who you use Google Apps will realize it is free, so you can host your email (as I do) and have the rest of the apps controlled and assigned out there for the huge cost of $0.00
Let’s take a look at a few of the distinctive features.
By the looks of it, I have Webpages (I don’t use) Start Pages (Don’t use!) Email (Do use!) Chat (Use while in Email) Calendar (Don’t use) and Sites also not being used.
One cool feature of User Accounts is Contact Sharing!
A cool specific features for the Domain Settings happen to be some granular control, one feature of which Sarah was interested in knowing!
Another cool bit is Service Setting does allow you granular control over each of your Services that you have available. But those few things aside, this was just an extremely high level look at the Free offerings that Google has as part of Standard Edition
As always, thank you ever so much Joanne Lin (MS) !

Happy Holidays, and this gift is wrapped and ready for Christmas and Hanukkah!
Every so often I get asked by people for help improving their skills, making them more marketable as well as ways to get access to training and resources.
And more often than not, I lead them in directions with the huge cost of $0.00 associated with it. Whether you’re looking for Certification, access to Labs, E-Books, or Training information.
I’m a BIG fan of Free!
So, can you afford freE-Learning?
Thanks to our friends at Microsoft, here is another resource available to you!
By visiting this lovely site, it will display all of the available courses being offered by Microsoft Learning for Free!
What relevant topics are available on there at the moment:
…And more!
Seriously, there is a motherload of information here, so much training to wrap your teeth into!
If you saw my previous post about the voucher to get the Hyper-V training for free, this training is very complimentary to that and more! (Especially since that voucher seems to be faulty at the moment)
So get out there, get yourself something Free for this season. It’s your education, do something about it!
This question gets asked by a lot of people “ooh! Windows7 or Vista! What should I do?!?”
I won’t be the one to make that decision for you. Infact, I’ll make it harder for you :)
In the season and the spirit of giving, and finally getting around to doing this (I’ve planned to do this for awhile) I’m giving away to a random and wanting participant one or more of the following!
I’ve had these sitting on my bookshelf for some time, and have been meaning to give them away! Will you get them? Do you want them? If you’re located in Chicago-land I could definitely drop them off, but if you’re in Egypt, Italy, Russia or Mumbai I’ll gladly ship them to you.
