Any info yet on whether Morton and ManageThis! will be rocking out one night of the conference?  They've always been a very entertaining aspect of the ManageFusion conferences.  Or does it all come down to how they do in the Corporate Battle of the Bands next week?

Symantec’s Web site ratings service Norton Safe Web presents the Dirtiest Web Sites of Summer 2009 – the top 100 infected sites based on number of threats. Norton Safe Web is a new reputation service from Symantec.  What makes these sites so dirty?

I want to go back to school and learn the fundamentals of Wise / Windows Installer.    I'm looking for: 1 - For pay support (so I'm not monopolizing this discussion group!) 2 - A class to attend with a live instructor to ask questions of and such - preferably in Seattle area. I remember seeing both of the above on Wise's site a while back, but the only thing I could find now was mention of a class that appears to not really exist. Any ideas? Thanks, Carl.
