Most of the time when people complain that a Microsoft product doesn't work the way they think it should (and often complain that the people involved haven't a clue), I tend to think the people making the complaint are the ones who haven't a clue.

Being an MVP doesn't get you very far inside the MS tent, but at least close enough to realise that people who are inside that tent are trying to make the best products they can and that usually things that are missing (or not done the way the rest of us think they should be done) are the results of design decisions - i.e. they often *have* thought of the thing that we see as missing but decided for good (to them) reasons  not to include that functionality.

However occasionally they get it very wrong and in my opinion the worst cases of this are when they remove functionality in a later version that was in an earlier version of the same product (even if that product name has been changed in the meantime to confuse us and maybe make it seem it isn't the same product).

One good example of both of these last two points comes in SharePoint Designer 2007 (which - for SharePoint uses - is the follow-up product to Front Page 2003).

Whereas when you used Front Page 2003 to create a Data View Web Part (DVWP), you had access to all the SharePoint Lists on the same *server*, using SharePoint Designer 2007 you only have access to SharePoint Lists in the same *site collection* on that server.

I think discussion of this started in a thread in a SharePoint public newsgroup where I suggested using SPD 2007 to create a DVWP from any list on the server (based on FP 2003 experiences of doing just this) only for the person asking the question to come back and say this didn't work for sites in another site collection).

Now we have a blog post from Monty (the same guy as in the newsgroup, perhaps?) on this, complete with a reference to a basic MS page saying which SharePoint Lists you can add to a "Data Source Library" where it clearly states ". If the other site is in a different site collection, you can still access all of the other data sources, but not SharePoint lists and libraries."

That Monty blog (with that reference) is here:

http://www.sharepointblogs.com/mcotw/archive/2007/11/07/No-longer-able-to-create-a-DVWP-with-a-datasource-that-pulls-data-from-another-site-collection.aspx

What I'd like to know (but probably never will) is just what was the "design reason" in this case? SPD 2007 is a product that covers an awful lot more than FP 2003 ever did (making it more difficult to use, incidentally), so why, oh why, REMOVE functionality - and what's more, functionality that was easy to use? Yes, even for me.

VII.08.13 Free WSS Web Parts - Logout WebPart (Sigi Weber)

I ended with being unable to play the avi (mp4) files in the Mac (scratchy sound in the Mac itself and/or player crashing and reversed and upside-down pictures in a Parallels VM running Server 2003) yet being able to play them in my Vista based portable (right away) and in an XPPro set-up after installating Windows Media Player 11 and installing the divx codec.

So the logical thing to do was to try to upgrade the Windows Media Player 10 in the Server VM to 11 and see if that managed to clear up the reverse (etc) picture problem there.

This was the point at which I started cursing Microsoft and their "we know better attitude". They just *knew* that I had Finnish settings and so they *knew* I'd be wanting the Finnish version of the Media player. So I'd find an English language link in a MS site to Media Player 11; click on it and be directed to a page in Finnish offering me a download of Media Player 10 (yes 10!). After jumping through so many hoops that I can't even remember them, I finally was able to download the English language version of Media Player 11 and installed it - well up to the point where it said it could only be installed on XPPro with SP2 ...

So the next step was to create a VM running XPPro. Again under Parallels. So I did that and because the Swedish keyboard is the same as the Finnish one, I specified Swedish settings for a change. The XPPro installation (as always the English language version) went OK and then I went to install Media Player 11.

If my problems with the Finnish settings and continual attempts by Microsoft to give me the Finnish version were bad enough, they were ten time worse with their attempts to give me the Swedish version. The main trick I had done with the Finnish version to get it to give me the English version (search on worldwide) didn't work with the Swedish version and there were things like menus that automatically decided to only select links if the text was in Swedish; even resetting this to all languages and picking English language pages still always led to a download of the Swedish language version until a random event happened and for no apparent reason I did finally have an Enlgish language version of Media Player 11 to download.

I installed it; tested the avi file; as expected only sound; installed the dix codec; and ....  got both sound and vision *reversed and upside-down*!

Conclusion: there must be something wrong with Parallels. Next test: Install XPPro SP2; Media Player 11 and the divx codec on a VM under VMWare Fusion (for which I have the beta of version 1.1). Then finally I might be able to play these files on the Mac.

Meanwhile a note that Firefox downloads also suggest the Finnish language version to me BUT they have one line lower a link to "other language versions". Nice and simple. Why oh why doesn't Microsoft do something similar and stop assuming they know best (and virtually forcing their choice on me)?

P.S. I've now created an XP Pro with SP2 VM under VM Fusion; added Media Reader 11; added the divx codec. Just in fact what I did on a real XPPro. It didn't help. The file is still upside down and reversed (and it's not the file as I tried with a smaller file; same thing).

So now the question is, is this a MAC VM "feature" or do I have a reverse back codec on both the XPPro and the Vista (native) machines on which this has run correctly ?

Next stop a VM running XPPro on the Vista machine.

Note: The main problem with this is that each test uses up an XPPro authentication because otherwise you can't install Media Reader 11 and even MSDN users don't have that many to use for testing (which is very clearly what I am doing here).

P.P.S. It will play fine using the free Divx Player (from www.divx.com and included in the divx codec download) but use Real Player in that same VM Fusion:based XPPro system and it's reversed and upside down again just like in Media Player 11.

As you have seen from the title this for once is not a SharePoint blog piece.

I have a recently bought Digibox with a hard disk. I carefully bought one of the few that had a USB port so that I could transfer files to my PC.

Well I can but these files are in a very strange format and I discovered there are no free ways of converting these files into a normal video file format that is anything less than very complicated and time consuming. (Nor did there seem to be any solution I could pay for)

So it was time to look at something else.

Well, by chance, in addition to a video IPod (80GB) I also have an Archos 604 Wifi device and I've recently bought its add-on for adding content direct from the TV because it also included a charger for the Archos' battery (which you can charge via USB port if you have half a day to spare).

So I connected that to one of the many output places on my (expensive) digibox and started a program going from the digibox and recorded it to the Archos device. (In real time of course and with - at least the way I did it - no way of telling it automatically when to stop recording, so I had to monitor it).

I now had a mp4 format .avi file that I could transfer to my  Portable PC or MacBook and play there.

Well not actually and not entirely.

It will play on the Portable PC (Vista) but the MacBook is odd.

Firstly in QuickTime it plays OK (video) but with very scratchy/jumpy sound. I paid for a codec from Apple that helped not a bit. I tried adding the divx codec (free) for luck but to no effect.

So I tried it in a Parallels VM running VM Server and after I loaded Windows Media Viewer 10 I got sound but no picture. So I added here the divx codec and now I get perfect picture and sound.

BUT the picture is upside down and also horizontally switched by 180 degrees (so left is right and right is left - only noticeable because of the TV stations logo)

(There's a message about "error downloading codec" and simultaneously playback starts).

So almost there but not quite.

Obviously it's a codec problem. Equally obviously my PC portable has it ... (but which and where did I get it from?)

P.S. I tried to run the .avi file on an XPPro. Sound only. So I upgraded to Windows Media Viewer 11 and tried again. It said it was uploading a codec and that went OK. I still only got sound though ..

So I tried adding the divx codec (from http://www.divx.com and installing only the codec part of the free download) and now I had both vision and sound. Maybe I should try Media Viewer 11 on the Windows Server 2003 running in that VM ...?

Description of a new command-line operation that you can use to repair content databases in Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (ver 2.2)

24th October 2007

Unfortunately most publishers have got wise to my method in early days as an MVP of having such a large set of free on-line chapters stored in my private STS (later WSS 2.0) site that they covered the whole subject.

These days if there are on-line chapters available in full, they tend to be Chapter One - Introduction to XXX and so having a collection of 12 on-line chapters on a particular subject no longer means that you cover the content of an entire book. Instead you are very well information about the basics.

Nevertheless these on-line chapters do have a role to fill and that is of letting you see whether the writer's style is something you can put up with through an entire book.

There was a book a while back that got a comment from one person that the humour was laid on so thickly that he couldn't bear to read it, even though the technical matter was good. Other people of course praised the humour. So that was one book where to make your own mind up you could usefully read the on-line chapter. (The writer is now an MVP so I'm not going to say which book even if you ask).

Another snag is that many books have more than one author (this seems to be almost the norm for SharePoint v3 as it becomes more and more complicated / covers more areas) and so deciding you like (or dislike) the style of the writing based on the on-line Chapter One isn't going to help you to much if that writer has only written Chapter One and the other chapters were written by others.

The final snag that comes to mind is that Chapter One is sometimes written at a completely different level to the rest of the book.

In Real World SharePoint 2007,  my Chapter One (yes, called "An Introduction to SharePoint" - accurate for once, because it also mentions the history of the SharePoint products) is intentionally the only one written for non-experts. Its aim is to get people quickly up-to-speed in SharePoint 2007 (using WSS 3.0 as a simpler example) so that they have a chance of understanding the rest of the book and know where to find (and ask for) more information.

So I was very happy when that Chapter was not the one used - as a free on-line chapter - to show what the book was like, but instead there were some extracts available of (parts of) other chapters. "WAS happy" because yesterday I discovered that that Chapter One is now available in full, on-line as a free download (and one, what's more, that is easier to find than those extracts). Oops.

Anyway for people just itching to read it and find all the factual and spelling errors (another reason for me being fairly happy it wasn't available on-line), you'll find it linked to on my page with links to all the on-line chapters and part-chapters I could find.

http://wss.asaris.de/sites/walsh/Lists/WSSv3%20FAQ/VII%20Book%20Extracts.aspx

(item 23A)

When there, if you've been before, you might also take a look at 19B which has also just been added.

P.S. As always, if you know of any on-line chapters or part chapters that are available but for which I haven't got a listing, please let me know. SharePoint only of course (although I'm wondering how far chapters of ASP.NET 2.0 books are relevant these days).

At least once a week I do a sweep through Amazon US looking to see if there are any newly listed (typically available more than six months later) SharePoint books or to see whether any books have been released since my last sweep.

(Slightly less often I check for books on things like Excel Services and InfoPath and even less often for books on subject close to SharePoint such as BizTalk; Virtual Server systems etc.)

I then add or modify the listing of V3 books

(http://wss.asaris.de/sites/walsh/Lists/WSSv3%20FAQ/V%20Books.aspx)

accordingly.

Now most people are interested only in the English language books but there are those (and perhaps most of all their users) who want if possible books in their own language (we'll ignore a discussion of whether books in American English are in the own language of Brits; Aussies; Kiwis etc.) and so I try to cater for them too.

Needless to say, because there are less books I tend much less often to check the French; and German Amazon sites for books in those languages and I'm forced to reply on people mentioning books in any other language in their blogs or their  newsgroup postings.

Well this weekend it was a fairly miserable day so I did one of those rare scans for foreign language books and found that the second original SharePoint book in French was now available along with a French translation of the MS Press massive 30 Chapter (and over 1100 pages) MOSS 2007 Administrator's Companion from Bill English and his team. Well not actually a translation, because the listing says it's of Part 1, so I can only guess that they have divided the book up into two "handy" parts - this part 1 ("Tome 1") being for Installation and Deployment. Given that, it's perhaps irritating to find that the list price for this first half (with only a 5% deduction available) is more than the list price of the entire original.

The other thing that struck me was that especially the German MSPress has actively seeked out translations of many of their (MS Press) English language titles and that these are becoming available before (or long before) any original German language SharePoint books.

I remember an e-mail conversation that I had with the writer of a SharePoint v2 book about whether I thought a German translation of his book would be worth doing. ("Possibly") He did it in the end without much competition from anyone. How it sold I don't know but I do know that one of the for Dummies SharePoint books is already available in German (and that for sure doesn't come from the MS Press ... !)

Finally, please, please, if you know of any Spanish, Italian; Turkish, Persian, (even Swedish or Finnish!) etc. SharePoint v3 books out there - or even any French or German ones I'm not listing - please let me know!
