Submission + - Microsoft Exchange 2007 SP1 Hits the Street (eweek.com)
eweekhickins writes: "Microsoft just released service pack 1 for Exchange 2007. The update features support for Windows Server 2008, better integration with Office Communications Server 2007, and improved mobile device security and management. It also enhances the user experience in Outlook Web Access, provides greater functionality in the management console, and delivers improved disaster-recovery capabilities through Standby Continuous Replication.
But that doesn't mean everything is hunky-dory. Customers still face the cost of retraining IT staffs on a completely new administration interface, the complexity added by five different server roles, and the lack of critically needed functionality for archiving for storage management and end-to-end mobile device management."
Submission + - WWII Colossus codecracker outdone by a German (zdnet.co.uk)
superglaze writes: "More on the World War II-era Colossus codecracker project. Not only has it been outdone in a cipher-breaking challenge, but — irony of ironies — it was beaten by a German! From the story: The winner was Joachim Schüth, from Bonn, who completed the task using software he wrote himself.
"[Schüth] cracked the most difficult code yesterday," said the museum's spokesperson on Friday. "We're absolutely delighted. He used specially written software for the challenge. Colossus is still chugging away, as we got the signals late. Yesterday the atmospheric conditions were such that we couldn't get good signals.""
