Every Vista Computer Gets Its Own Domain Name

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the roadblocks-to-rollout dept.

c_forq writes, "According to APC magazine, every new Windows Vista computer will be given its own domain name to access files remotely. There is a catch though: to use it one must be using IPv6. Is the push for Vista also going to be the push finally to switch everything from IPv4 to IPv6?" Microsoft, meanwhile, is trying to convince businesses to adopt both Vista and Office 2007 at once. An analyst is quoted: 'In all likelihood, enterprises will tie deployment of both Vista and Office 2007 with a hardware upgrade cycle.' His reasoning is that it will be easier for companies to handle one disruption to IT systems than two. Or three.

    You really should considering getting back on your medication. You're a bit wacky.

    If you disagree with something in the article, if you think it is/isn't FUD, post a reply! That's what the comment section is for. Seriously, if you can't think of anything objective to tag, then don't tag at all. And don't even get me started on mods.

    That said, I kinda like the "itsatrap" tag.

    You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
