MAGAZINE ARTICLES
William used to write a lot for magazines, but hasn't had much time lately to do so. (Does anyone ever have enough time to do everything they want? :-) In the heydays of the 90's he wrote articles for PC Magazine and Dr. Dobbs. The following is a list of some of his favorite articles. Most of the PC Magazine articles you can still find on the PC Magazine site. Recently, William has started writing for TechNet Magazine. His article on Windows Server 2008 Release 2 (R2) was the cover story for the November 2009 edition.
