Comment 1 million users in first few hours? Amazing (Score 1) 368

WoW! That was so quick. Well, there is no doubt that Microsoft is best at marketing its products and services. After capturing a considerable chunk of HyperV's and Cloud computing market from its great rivalry VMware. Now Microsoft's 800 pound gorilla is ready to compete Google in this email client industry. The new features are cool, and worth switching back to MS's re-branded Hotmail (which is Outlook.com). Also Here's a nice blog explaining how and why Microsoft will dominate Hypervisors, VDI, Cloud & more in 2012: http://www.dincloud.com/blog/why-Microsoft-for-virtualization-explained If anyone is planning to write a blog or an article on how or why Microsoft will dominate this email hosting industry, please keep me posted. Thanks.

Doubtlessly this new Mac OS X 10.8 (aka. Mountain Lion) looks too cool, and I personally like the new features this OS offers. But I was reading an article yesterday, and it was about some Malware and trojan threats to this new OS. The reaction of the readers was much alike as mine. They were so anxious to get this OS since its just $20 (not sure, quoting from some blog post), but at the same time they were a little hesitant because of this virus threats. This made wonder why Mac user don't think about installing a virtual desktop. Because Virus outbreaks are no longer a headache in hosted virtual desktops since you operate in a virtual environment which is 10 times more secured and there are no threats of any malware or virus attacks, Here is a useful resource for my fellow Mac lovers, explaining what else a virtual desktop can do for Mac OS: http://www.dincloud.com/run-virtual-desktop-on-apple-mac-os-x Hope you will find it interesting and useful.
