A new full-length podcast for IT pros is ready for consumption at CSTechcast.com. This week we talk about the bandwidth hog that is web-based video and how network admins can control it with E-telemetry's CTO Alan Schunemann. Find more information about his company at etelemetry.com. The news brings a mess of Microsoft patches, also word that UAC is being refashioned in Windows 7, AMD spinning off The Foundry Company for chip manufacturing, Oracle acquiring Primavera, and IBM furthers its cloud computing ambitions with Bluehouse. Telecom companies trying to stop widespread municipal Internet get "The Worst Tech Move of the Week", we talk physical to virtual migration tools in "A Closer Look", and when you get a HAL mismatch migrating server to a virtual world we give you some relief in "The Weekly Tech Tip".
