I am pleased to announce that I have partnered with O’Reilly Media, Inc. to bring new book reviews to ITCertPro.com. As you may know, last year, O’Reilly became the distributor of Microsoft Press titles for North America. In the coming weeks, I will be posting reviews of Microsoft Press titles that have been provided to me through O’Reilly’s reviewer program.
The biggest change that O’Reilly has made in the last year is higher availability of MS Press titles in electronic format. O’Reilly is behind Safari Books Online and has been a pioneer in digital publishing innovations. You can visit the O’Reilly Media store and purchase digital titles of their books in four DRM-free formats: Android .APK, .epub (compatible with Nook and other eReaders), Kindle compatible .mobi, PDF and DAISY. O’Reilly also offers an “Ebook Deal of the Day” where you can purchase a digital title for as little as $9.99.
I wish to thank O’Reilly Media, Inc. for this opportunity. Hopefully, you will gain some great information from my reviews to help you make a more educated decision on your IT book purchases.
Hotmail Scams have been a popular topic on ITCertPro.com. I wrote the original post as a warning to people that might receive a scam email, but are not sure what to do.
I want to make one thing perfectly clear: I do not work for Microsoft Hotmail. I cannot offer direct support. I cannot stop these emails from coming in to your inbox. Hotmail’s SPAM protection is pretty good, but, as with all SPAM protection, it is not perfect.
For Hotmail, unfortunately there is only electronic suppot. There is no phone support unless you have a paid Hotmail account.
Electronic support is located here:

I hope that these links help with getting your Hotmail problems resolved. Please feel free to comment and let me know if I can provide more information.
