No more ISAPI Filter in SPS

All SharePoint developesl will be pleased to know that Microsoft has finally removed the ISAPI filter of SPS which sometimes becomes pain in the neck. Now all the requests will be processed by the ASP.Net ISAPI and the redirection will be controlled by HTTP Modules and Hanlders. So if you want to write your own hooks in the processing of SPS, you just have to write either handler or module. No more un-managed code.

Document Conversion in Office 2007

Currently I am working in Petroleum Development Oman for the implementation of Office 2007.

Here I have Office 2007, SQL and Domain Controller all installed on the same machine. While using document conversion services. I got error that failed to perform the action CE_Other. I tried all the options but failed to configure it. Finally, someone from Microsoft told me that Document Conversion services do not work on the DC. You need to use them from some other machines due to some reason. Well it is good thing that these services are not allowed to run on DC as they are working with the file system as well but it should be documented at some place.

Lets see what else will come.
