I Just Need A Litte Space

Once again, Scott Hanselman delivers the goods, this time in the form of an easy to read guide on how to free up potentially heaps of hard drive space under Windows Vista.

Some of the tips are obvious, like running Disk Cleanup regularly, but tips on clearing away Vista Service Pack 1 setup files and good ol' NTFS Compression are something that most people might not think of (or even know about).

I did a few of these things last night and recovered around 4GB of space on my Vista 64 machine at home (now with an all new R4850 video card!).

Check out the guide with handy images over at Scott's blog... be warned though, his final tip has the "Works on my machine" certification which means it might not on yours.

SHanselman Needs You

If you're a .Net developer then Scott Hanselman wants to hear your opinion. He's created a 1-question survey where you tick the boxes of the architectural features of .Net that you use.

Scott, a Microsoft Senior Program Manager, says "...one of the things I like to do is take your comments, questions and feedback directly to the right folks inside Microsoft.".

He then goes on to say, "They have all sorts of scientific methods, analysts, and smarties that give them information, usage details, etc. Sometimes, however, I like to throw the product planners the occasional totally RAW web survey, just to make sure that there's fewer layers between me and the bosses."

So go and give Scott a hand, it'll only take you 10 seconds... http://www.tinyurl.com/dotnetsurvey
