As I sit here waiting for the EQ2 client to finish installing I was going to start converting my home server over to ESXi 4.0 to better utilize some of the hardware I have in it but as it turns out my network card is not supported by software. Thus making the lack of planning for this project very apparent. There are two things I intended to do with this project one was to convert the base OS of the server and two was to change my home domain server over to Windows 2008 R2 and setup a .local as to not interfere with my forth coming .com website. It looks as though I’m going to be waiting and as I sit here and write I’m wondering if I should even attempt to be compatible with free software that really has very little home use for me apart from allowing me to setup and kill servers at will which as I type this I have essentially convince myself to buy a couple of NICs that are compatible and install ESXi instead of proceeding ahead and installing R2.

On another note as I sit a good friend of mine called and I noticed that Skype now has full Windows integration. Which means that when he called I had Phil Collins playing through Windows Media Player and the second I answered the music paused. When he hung up it took off again right where it left off. It was very cool and another reason I am loving Windows 7. This is the OS we were promised in 2007 and it looks like Microsoft is going to deliver this time around.
