Been a while.  To say I've been busy would be putting it very mildly.

 

New comings and goings: We released our second product, FindMe Professional Edition - see www.findmeusa.com/pro for a very useful and powerful tool that integrates geolocation technology with business intelligence (BI)

 

We've hired a marketing rep!  We've also hired a sales executive!

 

And I finally took the plunge and installed Vista on my MacBook Pro!

 

I have to say it runs really, really well.  There are the usual annoyances with beta software, but it looks beautiful and runs pretty smoothly so far.  A right-mouse button would be nice, but I can work around that, and have been.

 

Added Office 2007 as well, and they work very slickly together - the glass effects are great.  Office has a few upgrades that you won't necessarily notice at first, but in time,they become more significant.  The organization capabilities in Outlook are significantly better, for one.  Access 2007 makes throwing a database together quickly a real snap.  The SharePoint integration is much better than in Office 2003.

 

Only real downer so far is the power management on the MBP really sucks so far.  Not sure if that is hardware (Apple just recalled my battery) or software (it is beta after all) or a combination of the two.  Oh, and so far at least, sleep still sucks.  This has been a pet peeve for me for a very long time: the sleep function in Windows - any version - has never ever worked for me.  Be honest, how successful are you when trying to restore a computer from sleep?  It never works for me, and isn't any better in Vista.  This is one of the most significant things I miss from OSX - I could close the lid and in about 3 seconds was sleeping and I could pack up and go.  Opening the lid brought me back in about 6 seconds. 

 

Sadly, now I am back to hibernating.

 

Ah, well.  I'll post any other finds in the next few days (OK, the rate I post - weeks).
