I finally picked up a copy of Windows 7 and decided I'd like to use the 64 bit version in Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro rather than use VMWare Fusion 3. Overall I've been fine using Windows XP in Fusion for development, but I want to use all 4GB of RAM in the machine rather than just a part and take best advantage of the 64 bit version of Windows 7. It was a resounding failure. I ran into every problem this Gizmodo article talks about. Only difference is that I'm not quite ready to buy a iDefrag quite yet. I probably will, but I think I'll see how things go in the VMWare with the 32 bit version first. If it's sluggish at all, I'll get iDefrag and give Boot Camp another shot. But I have to say I'm really surprised Apple's tools can't handle defragmenting on their own. They should have a Defrag tool in the Utilities folder. Instead their language in KB articles reminds me of when Windows NT came out and Microsoft claimed defragmentation on NTFS wasn't necessary any longer. I didn't believe it, and was proven correct in no time...

RemObjects releases Data Abstract for OS X
Downloaded it already and looking forward to playing with the new toy. If you're curious you can find the release notice here:

And of course the DataAbstract product page with a lot more information is here:
DataAbstract for OS X
I finally got an iPhone for Evanoah, LLC (my company) a few weeks ago and have a couple books sitting next to me as I stumble through learning how to develop for it. Looking forward to how I can use this to reach more clients. Sadly it's all still a little on the back burner, though, as I continue working on learning ASP.NET MVC to get my new training website up and running. But as soon as that's done, I'm going to have to make some time for this. Been saying it for months now, but I really want Mac OS X development to become an equal part of what I can offer customers. Time is always an issue isn't it? :-)
