Consumerization of IT–How to address this
Bring Your Own Device or Consumerization of IT are fairly hot themes in a lot of customer organizations. When I talk to customers, there are typically different reactions, once we bring this up. Some tell us, that it is not part of their strategy; some tell us that they plan to do it but that they have a hard time figuring out, how to secure such an environment; very, very ...
10 Years of Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft
Before joining Microsoft a little bit more than 10 years ago, I ran a team at PricewarehoureCoopers on e-Business Risk Management – classical security consulting in the Internet bubble time. When I announced that I will leave PwC and join Microsoft, I got interesting reactions (and remember, this was 2001). Mainly they were along two lines: Oh, you are joining a desktop company? ...
10 Reasons to migrate off Windows XP
I would like you to sit back, close your eyes and think about the year 2001. Think about how you used technology back then, how you used the Internet. Now, let’s take it a little bit further back in history and think of the year 2000. Just after we realized that the Year-2000-Problem was handled very well by the industry.

Monitoring the Blog Hits – Live in Silverlight! By Roger Halbheer, on March 15th, 2010 If you are running a blog, you might most probably use one of the websites which show where your user come from – no? Like Clustrmaps, which I used for a few years. Then I found a new one, which I like much more as it gives me more information. If is called WorldMaps and the best thing is, it is based on Bing maps and delivers fairly cool pictures (read until the end. The real cool thing is at the very end of the post ):

Additionally, it delivers the statistics I need with regards to hit rates over the month, browser hits etc:

and a few more. But the real reason, why I am blogging this is the live view on the traffic. If you go to the Stumbler, you get a live Silverlight view of where the hits are coming from. The only drawback I found is that the selection of the web pages you want to see live is not saved. So, e.g. if you want to see the Live hits for my blog (a slow one – so help me to increase), you click on Maps on the top right, click Uncheck All, in the filter box enter Halbheer and click on both blogs shown, close the window – and then just watch. Unfortunately I was unable to embed it into this page but it looks like this (click on it to see it live):
If I access the map, I am always show far in the West of Switzerland – so, the country is right
