Welcome to the podcast for IT pros, always available at CSTechcast.com. This week, we talk with Hutch Carpenter, Vice President of Product at Spigit, to find out how companies are adopting social networking tools inside enterprises, what the justification is for these tools, and how to be successful after the implementation. Find more info at spigit.com. In the news, AMD sues Intel over alleged payments to OEMs like Dell, Windows 7 comes out of the gate with great sales numbers, a new tool called Hook Safe provides rootkit protection using virtualization, a reported vulnerability in the secure web standard SSL, and Patch Tuesday sees six bulletins. Comcast's requirement that we "respect subscription revenue" gets The Worst Tech Move of the Week, we take "A Closer Look" at server baselining, and a particular type of 401.1 error gets some help in "The Weekly Tech Tip".
