MOSS 2007 - Installation guide using VPC

Given the limited resources for MOSS 2007 and the lack of MSDN and nights of googling around, I have compiled the complete guide that provides information on team environment development of MOSS 2007 sites, assemblies, artifacts and step by step installation of MOSS 2007 and related IDE's on a VPC for a standalone PC. At the end you will have a vhd file which you can circulate amongst your team and presto they will have a fully loaded MOSS2007 developer environment suitable for development and/or for demonstration.

Some of the areas that have been covered are

New game

My current musing is this tiny little cricket flashwave and table tennis. While the flash games are good, they are also quite handy and don't draw too much of my battery power. Controls are simple and the game runs well

I'll tell you what, you can play cricket & TT and still get the kick as though you are playing this on PS2.What takes the flash game apart from PS2 is the places you can play :-)
1. Play while traveling in car , bus , train & plane. PS: i have not yet traveled in a ship :-)
2. Play in office, when you are really stressed out
3. play in meeting while your bored
4. play on couch and make wifey think that something official you are doing
5.play when customer is around and tell that this is the break that you were looking at.
6.play among your collegues to demostrate that you have greater skills - hand eye co-ordination
7. give it to wifey , if she insists that you talk to her always
see the reasons :-)

Love Marriage Vs Arranged Marriage - IT defn

Love Marriage: Resembles procedural programming language. We have some set functions like flirting, going to movies together, making long conversations on phone and then try to fit all functions to the candidate we like.

Arranged Marriage: Similar to object oriented programming approach. We first fix the candidate and then try to implement functions on her. The main object is fixed and various functions are added to supplement the main program. The functions can be added or deleted.

Love Marriage: It is a throwaway type of prototype as client requirements rises with time thus it is a dynamic system and difficult to maintain.

Arranged Marriage: Requirements are well defined so use of waterfall model is possible.

Love Marriage: Family system hangs because hardware called parents are not responding.

Arranged Marriage: Compatible with hardware Parents.

Love Marriage: You are the project leader so u are responsible for implementation and execution of PROJECT- married life.

Arranged Marriage: You are a team member under project leader parents so they are responsible for successful execution of project Married life.

Love Marriage: Client expectations include exciting feature as spouse cooking food, washing clothes etc.

Arranged Marriage: All these features are covered in the SRS as required features.

Love Marriage: Acceptance test possible you can try before you Buy.

Arranged Marriage: Product is sold on an as is where is basis. Product once sold will not be taken back!
