Coming to TR7 in Seattle and wondering what to do with a day off? sure, there’s plenty to do and see in Seattle but consider this: Hop the ferry to Bainbridge Island – the weather is quite nice this weekend (so far) and if you walk on to the boat, it’s a short walk into town for a quiet day. Nice shops, lots to see and very god food: lunch or dinner at the Winslow Way café (save room for dessert) or Nola’s.
Check out the site for the Mojave Experiment that just went live along with Ina Fried’s latest post, noting that “Microsoft has created a teaser site for its Mojave project.”
A quick note to let you know that Knowledge Base article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914387 “How to configure daylight saving time for Microsoft Windows operating systems” reflects the manual changes and additions DST and TZ. KB 914387 should contain all DST changes made since RTM.
The cumulative DST packages for Windows have been released to the DLC for supported versions of XP, WS03, Vista and Server 2008.

Ok, so we’re taking the family out for the day to Bainbridge Island. On our way to the terminal, we noticed that we encountered not just one or two signs that ensured we stayed on the right route to the terminal, we had more than eleven signs (we lost count) directing us…
Of course, due to a glitch in the boarding, we missed our ride and now lunching in the parking lot while we wait for the next departure.
Seeing the signs reminded me that you can’t have enough signs pointing out the right direction to help reassure you that you’re on the right path and ultimately find what you’re looking for.
I had heard from customers in the past that it was difficult to find out how to get support and more information n our products and services. yesterday a customer mentioned to me that the Windows Vista page and our customer support site (as mentioned previously here) have made it easier to get their questions answered. all we had to do was leave enough breadcrumbs in various places to make the resources more discoverable, and simplify our support portals.
But we probably have to put up a few more signs to help everyone find their way to the port, er, web portal.
