                    After a record-breaking Patch Tuesday in October, November's security update promises to be a bit lighter with six scheduled fixes, three deemed "critical" and three "important."

                    Microsoft has been trying to clarify details on upgrading to Windows 7 for individual users, but it's been a bumpy ride at best.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    FalconStor's Network Storage Server does far more than virtualize and serve up storage.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    I started my journey with virtualization in late 2002, when I began using VMware Workstation.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    Virtual Iron and Sun acquisitions plunge Oracle deeper into virtualization waters, but the company still lags behind the leaders.
