Welcome to CSTechcast.com, the podcast for IT pros. This week we have an enlightening discussion about data mining, why it's important, and some common pitfalls with industry pro John Elder. Find more info at datamininglab.com. In the news, Microsoft and Yahoo finally come to an understanding, Microsoft announces the location of its first retail stores, hard drive vendors up the ante to a terabyte in notebooks and servers, Google open sources parts of Wave, and a survey shows 40% of midmarket companies have no online presence. Apple flubs one by denying the Google Voice app making "The Worst Tech Move of the Week", we take "A Closer Look" at Windows 7 and if it will help enterprises warm up to an upgrade, and some pointers on a successful Hyper-V P2V conversion in "The Weekly Tech Tip".
