CSTechcast.com is the podcast for IT pros. This week we go back and forth about Windows 7 with Paul McFedries, author of Microsoft Windows 7 Unleashed, and get into some of the features that don't get discussed as much. Find more info from Paul at mcfedries.com. In the news, Amazon introduces the Virtual Private Cloud, Apple releases OSX Snow Leopard with some nifty business features, Microsoft gets deeper into data warehousing with Project Madison, Cisco access points get Skyjacked with a new vulnerability, and good news from Intel points to an economic recovery for the tech sector. AT&T's broken promises for iPhone MMS gets "The Worst Tech Move of the Week", we take "A Closer Look" at managing Hyper-V with Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2, and we tell you how to move Windows Firewall settings around in "The Weekly Tech Tip".
