After a good search I was unable to find any alarming stories. Unlike the Microsoft Vista to Windows 7 upgrade saga which has hit a few major glitches all seemed quiet for CF9. So I proceeded to upgrade my local server as a starting point.

It seems that the key to success in writing a popular blog is to find something topical (eg the credit crunch) to write about, mix in a few age old controversial issues (eg sexism in the workplace, greed and old boy's network) and stir the pot. Et voila, you get people commenting furiously about every aspect of the blog article.

It is always important to be aware of these so that you don't get robbed of your hard earned cash or lose your identity to some imposter taking loans in your name.

One of the common complaints I have is that the synchronisation fails because "SyncToy is unable to connect with the drive required for the synchronization."

I did this many, many times, the only reason I can give is that I wondered how these things worked. After all, the best way to do this is to open it up and check it out.

However, when I first looked at buying the product I had heard from colleagues that it could be set up as an Subversion Server as well. Since the unit is essentially a very small Linux box it could be possible.

It's always a pleasure to be able to look at how others build software/components etc. It inspires and teaches all at the same time.
