Suddenly MStyfied

The PowerPoint onslaught continued today. I poorly timed the setup of my long delayed WSUS project (post) this week, unaware that when half the company went to the west coast tomorrow it meant PowerPoint, PowerPoint, PowerPoint for me. Suddenly I feel more AV than IT as I sit there timing slides and fades to Fantasia's I Believe (shop).

WSUS (site) this week because Microsoft finally pushed me over the edge. The announcement that IE7 will be deployed through automatic updates (link) sent shivers down my spine. I tested IE7 (ha!) on my own workstation and nothing blew up, so my fears have subsided, but I would still like to manage the installs myself. And while MS kindly provided a blocker toolkit (info) to deter their deployment, why must I deploy something to deter a deploy? Maybe I didn't read something right but in any case, I decided WSUS was what I needed to setup this week. I'm still not done 3 days later with all the event distractions (i.e. PowerPoint).

Tomorrow I mix Diddy's "classic" All About the Benjamins (shop) to a slide show about giving for medical research.

I'm kidding!
