# The Microsoft Cool-Aid

I must say that I was very impressed with Microsoft this week. I discovered two utilities that is extremely useful, one of them that will actually make me some money ![🙂](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1664178714038/6pue8UMRoq.png)

Sooo..starting with the first episode of my "5 Things I’ve learned this week" series, here is a few things I’ve learned and/or rediscovered this past week.

1.  [Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access](http://www.microsoft.com/sql/solutions/migration/access/default.mspx), as mentioned in my previous post.
2.  [Microsoft SQL Server Publishing Wizard](http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=56E5B1C5-BF17-42E0-A410-371A838E570A&displaylang=en), this tool can script your database and the data within it.
3.  [How to disable the User Account Control in Vista](http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/0d75f774-8514-4c9e-ac08-4c21f5c6c2d91033.mspx?mfr=true).
4.  Getting things to work in Vista is pretty tricky, but once it does it’s very nice…no really it is.
5.  [Calendardrawer control for .Net](http://calendardrawer.tigris.org/), had a look at the website, definitely something I can use later.

Well, there is my 5 things for this week. I must admit, it was not as easy as I thought to learn 5 new things, or rather it was harder to remember them all than to learn them ![🙂](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1664178715043/L-FNTNV-h.png)
