recently found a good use of VM Converter to change the disk size and no need to mess around in command line

 1) if you own a copy of converter thats a cheat

 if all else fails

then use diskpart (cmd tool with windows)

run the following commands…(on a different box)

diskpart

list disk

list volume

select volume=(your volume)

extend

list volume (check your work)

One thing I love about MSDN subscriptions is the ability to get Visual Studio. Now I dont program much but I did have a lot of fun with VB back in the day and when VS2002 went to .net I must admit that I lost interest as the code changed a lot.

Then comes VS2005 with all its cool context help.

Then comes VS2008, I must say this is the most impressive dev studio I have ever seen. Just like office2007 and ability to think what I want before I want. VS08 allows someone who just knows how to program, convert to .net and program up things that are awesome. Seriously the context help and auto-complete in VS2008 are way cool. If you are a programmer or have MSDN and did old c or vb then check out the new application its worth the time.
