It looks like Windows 7 will support up to 20 users connected to a share or network sessions. That is great news for small to medium size companies that use Windows XP to share files. That’s double of what Windows XP will handle.
Will Windows 7 support 20 concurrent network connections?

Auto connect and authenticate to a mapped drive on Windows XP

Lately Windows XP Pro and Home is loosing connectivity to the mapped drive or sometime the user has to double click on on Z drive to initiate the authentication process. In some cases the “remember password” check box is not there either. Which means you have to type username and password every time you reboot. I have looked around for a solution and haven’t been able to find anything yet.
In some cases it has been asking for authentication even if i give permissions to “Everyone” on the local and shared permissions. If you run the network setup wizard and enable file and print sharing at the end it may work. It didn’t work on every case for me, very random.

The real Kindle killer that is more than just an e-book reader – The Touch Book

I never liked the original Kindle or the second generation. Kindle DX caught my attention with the native PDF support and 9.7″ screen. Now, the device that I think can compete and maybe even kill Kindle, if they market it right, is Touch Book made by a startup Always Innovating.
Bing’s Search Results

One tweet caught my eye and I had to take a look at it to see for myself. Benj Arriola over at Business OnLine posted that when you search “Microsoft” on Google you get more results than if you searched “Google” on Bing. While that is true I seriously don’t think that’s a negative thing, especially when Microsoft spent about $200 million in ads to send a message that Bing will find you the result you need and not get you lost in results, which it will happen with Google, Yahoo ore even Bing.
