USB Workshop has posted an article on NT USB support.
Microsoft has retreated from its recent threat to take action against Jeff Merkey´s Timpanogas Research Group for providing read-write access to NTFS partitions.
"Microsoft has apologized and withdrawn their statements," Merkey wrote in a post to a Linux kernel developer mailing list. "We are very happy this thread ended on a happy note, instead of in court. Microsoft will take no action against us for NTFS development on Linux, which can now proceed without concern."

Saw over WinInfo:
Microsoft´s Visual Studio.NET Web site was updated Friday with information about the release of the Beta 1 version of the company´s upcoming software development suite, which is "nearing completion and will soon be available to developers." The site notes that Visual Studio.NET Beta 1 will be made available to MSDN Universal subscribers "before general availability," and that this important release will also be available to the public "for a nominal fee." Microsoft has been very forthcoming with information about Visual Studio.NET, in sharp contrast to previous Visual Studio betas. The company´s fixation on moving its customer base to the .NET future is probably driving this newfound openness.

Alex van Kaam has released a new beta of Motherboard Monitor 5.0
Problems Fixed
- RAS problem
- E-mail test button will work even if you don´t check the checkbox
- fixed a very uncommen bug with the ini file, which means that dashboard info (size, location etc. etc.) are stored in a seperate ini file to avoid file conflict with the settings form. THIS MEANS THAT 1st TIME YOU RUN MBM 5 PB 2.6 YOUR DASHBOARD WILL BE RESET, sorry about that
- When sending E-mail the program will go into pause mode, this is to fix problem with low interval, where a next alarm could appear before mailing is done
- FIC SD-11 support
- You can turn of the fact that the Smbus is detected before the Sensor chip, this is for those few users who need this option, check advanced tab, normaly it should always be checked
Items Added
- Created small program called MBM5HU.EXE, which is the Heat Up program for MBM 5, so all you "heavy cpu cooling" people can relax.
- Installation program will locate a previous install/location and default to that
- Settings window will remember position it has been closed at
- Included the DIMM SPD info into MBM 5, under the system info tab, also updated the Standard Manufacturer´s ID codes, must be around 300 that are supported now.
- added "are you sure ?" box when you want to delete a log file
- added some more info to the system info tab of mbm 5, reason was a weird bug where a few INI files where gone, this way I can see this via the system info.
- adding an option tab to the e-mail tab
- adding option to send any or all 3 types of interval logs with an alarm e-mail
- adding option to send any or all 3 types of high/low logs with an alarm e-mail
- adding option to send any or all 3 types of interval logs with an interval e-mail

From Chris Sawyer´s page (Thanks now inc):
Despite successful compatibility testing of the Beta build of Loopy Landscapes under Windows 2000 Professional, somehow a bug crept into the code between Beta and the final build which prevents the game running under Windows 2000. Because Windows 2000 compatibility isn´t supported by the publisher, the final build didn´t undergo any Windows 2000 testing, and the bug doesn´t manifest itself under Windows 95, 98, or ME. After all the effort which was put into making Loopy Landscapes ´unofficially´ fully Windows 2000 compatible this is a real shame - This situation should not have happened. An updated build (V1.20.013) is being prepared for production, but in the meantime the game will only run under Windows 95 or 98, as is stated on the box.
