From: meritsolutions.com

Having been heavily involved with testing Microsoft Dynamics custom products, I found Microsoft Virtual PC to be a must have tool.

It just takes several simple rules to follow and knowing the functionalities that Microsoft Virtual PC has to offer.

Where do you want to go today? A technical glitch prevented users from accessing their Hotmail accounts last Tuesday. According to a Microsoft spokeswoman, “the issue is purely impacting the login process for customers and largely does not impact customers who were already logged in”. Oh!
