Test Center Tracker: How well do Web-based apps handle real-world work?

It was supposed to be a three-hour tour...: Senior Contributing Editor Oliver Rist spent a week living in a browser-based world, from e-mail to spreadsheets to presentation-making apps. According to his recounting of this expedition to Browser App Island, some things went well (Yahoo mail), some things didn't (trying to work in Web apps on spotty wireless connections), and some things required a dose of liquid courage (Johnnie Walker Black). Read more about Oliver's experience and tell us: Do you use any of these online apps? Love 'em? Hate 'em? Let us know on the TalkBack forum or post your comments here on Test Center Daily.

This open-source integration tool is no donkey:
Heard of MuleSource before? Open Sources blogger Dave Rosenberg scored an interview with their CEO... which may not have been too difficult, seeing as how Rosenberg is the CEO of MuleSource. But with version 1.3 of this open-source ESB and integration now available, Rosenberg's providing a little glimpse behind the curtain. It's worth a peek.

Virtualization Forum presentations now available:
Did you attend the InfoWorld Virtualization Executive Forum in New York last week? If you did - or didn't, but are curious about the seminars and discussions that went on there - the presentations are now available on our Forum Resources page.
