Apparently it transfers all the cash from your bank account, adds you to InterPols most wanted list, makes you the #2 in command within ISIS and AL Qaeda and ensures that the Anti Terrorist squad will abseil in to your lounge within 5 minutes of starting the upgrade process.jonb wrote:I read some review that said it was full of bugs.

One article I read (on The Register) said it uses a sort of torrent type technology so that other users can get updates from your computer. Not good if you don't like your bandwidth being used for MS's benefit.
Couldn't agree more about Ballmer, but I think Nadella is a smart guy - he can see that Micirsoft can't dominate like they did for 15 years after Win95 and is changing their direction - good luck to him, I hope he succeeds.george.h wrote:What ever you think of Microsoft I think Ballmer and this Nadella guy have wrecked the company as far as desktop OS' are concerned.
George, I trust you are going to be running VMs and not running everything on the hardware directly?george.h wrote:I have a new server ready to start configuring at work to replace our old SBS 2003.

I've not made concrete decisions about anything yet, except our existing SBS 2003 server MUST go. I've already migrated our email across to O365 (more cost effective and enables me to reduce our internal network's attack surface even further) so all it is doing is the AD login and permissions stuff and file sharing (at the moment). It is not even handling print services. We only have a single Brother MFP device which doesn't see heavy use. The current SBS 2003 box has always been rather too fragile to mess around with to try to get the Brother to operate through it.TopBanana wrote:George, I trust you are going to be running VMs and not running everything on the hardware directly?george.h wrote:I have a new server ready to start configuring at work to replace our old SBS 2003.

Install 2012R2 on the hardware and the add HyperV as a service. Run no other services on the machine.george.h wrote:So in such a simple environment (one single server) are there any convincing reas
A very interesting suggestion! Much appreciated! Which particular Veeam product do you mean? Veeam Backup Essentials?TopBanana wrote:Install 2012R2 on the hardware and the add HyperV as a service. Run no other services on the machine.
Using the same key, the licence permits you to run two virtual machines on the hardware, so you can still keep your two separate servers if you wish.
The buy Veeam and install it to run your backups - it's the best thing since sliced bread. Then go an do more interesting things and forget about the server, it will just work.

+1 to thispaulv wrote:Well, I've upgraded. First impressions are that I'll most likely migrate to Win 10 as my day to day machine keeping my Win 7 machine as is for now, just in case.
Like Windows 7 where it was everything Windows Vista should have been, after an hours use of Windows 10, I already feel confident in saying it's everything Windows 8/8.1 should have been.
Things are where I expect them to be, it's nice to use and looks good too.
There is one thing that I can't get working but it's not the end of the world right now as it's Cortana, I just can't seem to turn her on (fnar, fnar)

Why didn't you ask !
Please bear in mind though that the outfit I work for is only a small company so cost is always important and we have no such thing as an "IT budget". I have to fight and argue for every penny.Well.....paulv wrote:...I just can't seem to turn her on (fnar, fnar)
Well it seems she doesn't like to work in a domain login hierarchy, IF I switch user to a Microsoft account rather than a domain account it works.george.h wrote:Well.....paulv wrote:...I just can't seem to turn her on (fnar, fnar)
winXP was <700mb and on one CD (ok... with 3,000+ updates! )
