When using Yammer, it’s obvious, that uploaded pictures are shown with a reduced quality. Yammer does automatically scale and reduce pictures to make them more web compatible. But Yammer still has the source picture stored! To illustrate this behavior with a sample, see (and enlarge) this picture. It’s a screenshot taken from a Windows machine and the Registry Editor. The items do have poor quality and are not good readable and pixilated. ...

As Jeffrey Snover ,Technical Fellow at Microsoft Enterprise Cloud Group, announced recently, PowerShell is open sourced and is available on Linux!
