Windows 8/8.1 have the option to refresh the OS without losing program or files. Also has the option for throwing everything away save the OS, but that's not what you're after as-is. You can, however, update the image it uses to do this so it lays down one that already contains your apps..
If people are just using it for LDAP, then they're doing it wrong:/
Why not just use OpenLDAP or whatever in that case? The whole benefit of AD comes from putting everything in it. There's no masters or slaves, just two way replication partners.
I understand the complaint about Exchange, but it is a HUGE system that can do a lot more than just MTA as you say.
I don't see how it can be called bloated, beyond the usual "ZOMG WINDOWS USES XXXXMB OF RAM LOLZZ" stuff.
AD isn't just LDAP, it's a central store for everything management. Yes it holds your authentication details, but it also holds settings for (assuming you use the MS products) DHCP, DNS, Mail, etc. Want a new DC to avoid SPOF? Install Windows, install the role, promote. All the settings are copied down automatically and you're redundant. You've also got the concept of sites, which certain domain controllers handle, so workstations know where to find their local DC. Also, subdomains, so you can hand off sections of the environment to other people - think company divisions (dev.corp.net) or even countries (us.corp.net). It's all GUI and PowerShell controllable these days too.
As for replication failures, yes they happen, as it will with anything that depends on replication. Disagree with them being common though - I've seen one in just over 15 years. We deleted the VM, made a new one on a new name, ran a clean up tool and carried on.
We announced that a free upgrade for Windows 10 will be made available to customers running Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows Phone 8.1 who upgrade in the first year after launch.
This is more than a one-time upgrade: once a Windows device is upgraded to Windows 10, we will continue to keep it current for the supported lifetime of the device – at no cost.
I quite liked how they handled it in recent film "The Machine" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt23... ). Questions like "Which smells better, a hospital corridor or a donkeys ass?" and "Mary saw a puppy in the window and she wanted it. What did Mary want?"
For example, what happens if you build a system whose maintenance relies on continued use of that IP after you leave? Are they forced to abandon the system that you built for them as part of your job? Since you could (or should) have known about this in advance, your voluntary use of this IP could possibly- if not probably- be construed as some form of implicit offer and/or agreement. What if they then want to sell that system commercially? What if they *only* want to sell it commercially because it lets them use- and build upon- your IP on the same terms as a work for hire?
You sue them for not having a license!
That seems to be how things work in the big industry world..
Slashdot Mirror
REAL wars are fought butt naked in the dirt, last man standing wins.
And they probably won't either, in order to protect the investment they've put in it so far..
Or perhaps they're doing it so that there's a net increase (for transaction X, not across the whole country) in steel for China..?
Then get the latest 10162 release and try that instead. It's a "preview" remember? It's *specifically* not finished..

Well, Opera is now based on Chromium, so should be a valid choice again..
There's always the new Vivaldi browser, which the original Opera devs split off to do.. https://vivaldi.com/ ?
"Workstations" are generally servers in a desktop case these days. See:

Dual Xeon processors, lots of RAM, capacity for lots of disks & PCIe cards.
Okay, mayhaps I tldr, soz :)
Why not use those contracts, since I've still got your attention?
You DO know that the big vendors have options that let you keep the drive instead of requiring you to return it?

It's an ultrabook - answer: no.
Found that quote, but also found this from the Q&A bit afterwards:

"What will happen after the first year of free updates for W7/W8?"

Hmm, it's a (admittedly small) jump to go from that to subscriptions though..
They have wanted to do it for ages now :(
Where is this? I can't find it on the couple of Ars articles and none of the other sites have said such a thing..
The owner of a file doesn't tend to matter much in the Windows world, only who has Full Control rights to it

Maybe they're not being cheap, they're just expecting the *standard* seats to be the *same standard*?
Supposedly they do - the users there get the choice of running RHEL managed by the company or Fedora managed by themselves..
I quite like this artificial demo of VMwares DPM functionality:

Can you share the pros and cons?
