Average time to read: 2 minutes

This Cheat Sheet focuses on 5 remote video conferencing and online meeting software solutions, including a couple of the most well-known names/vendors. They all offer a ton of (sub) features, add-ons, plugin options, and so on, too much to mention. Of course, there is a great deal of overlap as well.

The Easy Button – A story about Corruption, Portability, Office 365, User Profile bloat, ProfileDisk, non-persistent Data Indexing and more…

Average time to read: 15 minutes20 Min. read – User profiles have been around for many years. According to Wikipedia the user-profiling scheme in force today owes its origins to Windows NT, which stored its profiles within the system folder itself, typically under C:\WINNT\Profiles\.
