This only applies to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

With Windows 7, you can use the bcdedit tool to boot into vhd files. This is really cool and useful if you, like me work as a Developer or if you are a IT professional responsible for testing new technology.

OK, I've manage to spend some time with the MySQL connection framework for Obj-C and a new release have been made public.

The project is coming along great. We have the base functionality in place, tested and mostly working.

This weekend, I've planned to complete the STMT support for parametrized queries and start to write a little test application that uses the library to do some admin stuff as a proof of concept.

I've just set up a google code project to host my next project, "MySQL for Obj-C". The project has only one simple goal.

"Enabling Obj-C developers to easily and in a (natural or maybe native?) Obj-C way talk with MySQL servers."

When developing on the Apple platform, one will get a free IDE and free developer tools. That's nice. No extra charge, just download and install from Apple.

But how good is the free IDE, Xcode.

Apple is known to make things simple, right?
Well, as it turns out, they have definitely forgotten about developers, we don't get all the fancy helpers and nice applications (sexy applications) that we actually could get if Apple just put some effort in it.

Some screens from the install and a fresh system setup from the M3 release.

Mark November 12, the date for the final release of openSuSE 11.2. If you have some time during this summer, please consider participating in testing the milestone releases or contribute in some other way that may be within your area of expertise.
