Microsoft has begun rolling out a new feature to Hotmail, allowing users to “Send As” another email account. While this is a welcomed feature and one that the lack of contributed to my migration to Gmail, it’s not exactly ground breaking new features.
In reality it’s just another example of Microsoft playing catch up to Google in terms of providing a fully functional web email client.

Apple has released the latest version of their OS X operating system, version 10.6 or “Snow Leopard” for both desktops and servers. Current 10.5 users can upgrade to 10.6 for $29 per machine for the desktop or $499 for the server. 10.6 is only supported on Intel based Macs.
The desktop version features enhanced Exchange support, enabling programs like Mail, iCal and Address Book to communicate directly with our Microsoft Exchange 2007 servers. Both versions also feature enhanced support for x64 based computing, and have a x64 based kernel.
As we reported earlier in the week, 10.6 also includes built in malware scanning, something not mentioned anywhere on the Apple website.
The server version also includes a new SSL based VPN service, as well as new versions of iCal server and Address Book server, as well as updates to the built in Mail server.
Update: Be sure to check the recently published 10.6 application incompatibility chart before upgrading. A few popular anti-virus programs as well as versions of Parallels Desktop are listed as restricted during install. Aperture 2.1.1. is also listed as unable to load after installing.
