Test Center Tracker: Interop news and software licensing

So long 'til next year: Another Interop show has come and gone, but some of the announcements and products at the New York show caught the eyes of our Test Center analysts. Brian Chee likes the conversion "doodads" from Transition Networks. Oliver Rist is still giddy about the storage possibilities of Iomega's REV 70 drive, but dishes about remote connection tech in the Emerging Enterprise podcast. Need more to satisfy your networking fix? We've got a slew of reviews in our Top Rated product listings.

License and registration, please: Remember when you paid for software based on the number of people using it? Or the number of processors running it? Well, the "good ol' days" are gone, thanks to dual-core processors, software as a service, and plenty of other innovations that are wreaking havoc with software licensing models. Check out our special report and find out how you'll have to pay for software in the (very near) future.

Recent Reviews:
The Test Center adds a review of Vizioncore's esxRanger 2.0 to its virtualization bounty, marking this VM-backup plug-in as one to watch. And the speedy Mac Pro gets run through the gauntlet by Tom Yager, who likes the amount of storage that lies behind the desktop's pretty face.
