Macro Recording and Automating Windows with Macro Scheduler – Tips & News
“The Office” fans will love these fun Microsoft UK training videos with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant: http://download.ifilm.com/qt/portal/2751040_200.mov http://download.ifilm.com/qt/portal/2751041_200.mov From: Inside Microsoft.

It’s always fascinating and useful to find out how other people use Macro Scheduler. As you probably know I frequently post Success Stories here on this blog. There’s also a really interesting topic on the forums, here, where people can post information about how Macro Scheduler helps them. I’ve just scanned through the forum post […]
As a company that strives to provide good support I find it frustrating when we receive requests for support that make it hard for us to give it. What do I mean? Well here’s an example. The other day I received an email that had no subject line but a short message. The sender had […]

Yikes, it’s hot here in SW England. Someone told me today will be hottest day on record since 1911!

The other day a friend of mine phoned me. He was trying to install the software that came with his new Nokia mobile phone. He said he was beginning to go mad. He just couldn’t see what he was missing. He said that when he started the installer a screen came up with a license […]
A page on Microsoft’s website currently lists almost 100 cases they are taking against software pirates that have been discovered through Windows Genuine Advantage. You can click on each case and see more details of their alleged crimes. This could be rather embarassing for companies that are distributing illegal copies of Microsoft Software and the […]
