Verizon and Sprint won’t be offering Windows Phone 7 CDMA models until 2011. That’s not welcome news. What’s worse, however, if News.com’s paraphrase is on the money, is that Microsoft already is working on a “major rewrite” of the Windows Phone operating system. View the full article

I used regedit to change the name back. Now security with several apps and other computers is broken. Any reason why it changed names for a DC? How do I get working again?

As head of IT in a small company I've installed a Windows Server 2008 to function as domain server.
