Choices not limited? Ummm, I can pretty much buy parts from any number of manufacturers and OEMs and install Vista/XP on it no problem and the license allows this. OSX on the other hand, sure you can probably install it on a lot of different types of hardware, but if you do you will be in direct violation of the OSX license, plus you better be a pretty smart guy as usually this involves using bootcamp in some sort of odd fashion.
How is this like the MS "age-old anti-trust behavior"? All they are saying is that we don't want to support running VMs on our most basic OS. It would be like trying to make your GE fridge act like a maytag dish washer, sure you can problem do it if you can figure out how, but don't go to either for help if you break something, you'll be paying for new parts.
As for running VM's, do you think there are home users, aka mom and dad that can barely can tell the difference between OSX and Vista, that really want to run Vista Home in a VM? I think not, the only people that want to do it are tech geeks that need to test software. Vista is clearly NOT a server class OS. If you are a developer and need to run lots of VMs, get Windows Server Ent, VMWare, whatever. Yes a lot more expensive, but they are supported and licensing isn't a problem. Then you can properly test all the software you want.
And yeah, maybe atcually RTFM. This article says VMs on Vista Home, of any kind, isn't allowed. So you can't even run Vista in a VM on a Vista host using MS'es free VirtualServer2005.
Big deal, the OSX license allows for installation on only Apple hardware, no VMs or anything. Atleast with Vista you have some options, even if you have to pay through the nose for it.
You'd tend to think so, but having done something similar(actually a migration from an ancient IMAP server running on OS 8 macs) to Outlook and Exchange) I have learned that if the user hates change it doesn't matter how easy the new app is to use, they are going to be as difficult as they can be.
Wow, your grandmother must be smart. Now back in the real world. Ordinary, non technical, users don't give two squats how easy something should be. If its different, they don't like it and will blame IT staff all day long for not providing adequate training on this new fangled email system that is 3 applications instead of just 1 like we had before. And do you honestly think large corps like Dell would roll out a new app like that with out offering some training? Get out of your small tech shop and understand what it means to work in an enterprise enviroment.
Noooooo, if Apple hadn't been so elitist and basically said, "To buy our software you have to buy our hardware." They tried to get more hardware vendors (remember Gil Amelio and the Mac Clones?) to put their OS on their machines but they were hardly any cheaper than the real deal, and usually were very crappy. Apple shot itself in the foot by not taking the oppurtunity to spread the wealth with others. MS on the other hand wrote/bought an OS that could be installed on hardware that was being made by several companies. Don't blame MS for vision in how to sell their product, blame Apple for not having that vision, thats why Windows has such a commanding lead in the desktop OS market.
I am so iSick of iSteve iJobs and iApple putting an
i in front of ever iWord they want to use for an iProduct name. Its iEnough already, think of something more iOrginal or I am going to have to start kicking some iAss. iSheesh.
Forced induction is nice if you want to make lots of power with smaller engines. The downfall is that blocks/heads/etc have to be a lot beefier to take that kind of pressure, and the gaskets too, creating a little more weight. And if something goes wrong, there goes all your extra power and your air path is twice as long now. Blowers and turbos are great if you are into racing, for everyday use....I am not so sure. Been in a few cars that have had wastegates and impelers crack/break, no fun at all.
In exchange 2000 and previous verions, you are correct. It was a pain in the butt to restore an individual mailbox. But with proper planning and setup of policies you should NEVER have to restore an individual mailbox. Now I know what you are going to say, but what if a user deletes some message then emtpy's their deleted items folder. Well, use Recover Deleted items. You can set the retention in Exchange admin for as long as you want, most other exhcange admin I have talked to use somewhere between 30-45 days. In Exchange 2003, its made a bit easier with Recovery Storage Groups. You can restore a mailbox store to the RSG then use the exmerge util( was a PSS only util for a long time until Exchange 2003 came out then MS included it) to get the mailbox out, then merge it back in to the production mailbox, but again you really shouldn't have to do this. Exchange DB backups are only there for if the store corrupts of the volume the store is on dies.
Mailbox size in Exchange is pretty much unlimited(I wouldn't recommend it as your backup/restore times could be really long). PST max file size has been 2GB for the longest time. I wonder if the orginal poster meant Outlook 2007 instead of Exchange 2007? Outlook 2007, IIRC, has a pst file size limit of 4GB. Why anyone would need that amount of storage for email is beyond me.

When I was a kid in the late 70's/early 80's we played a very similar game. Named the same, but it was with a kickball. The boys from two classes were pitted against each other. The team that could make it back to the "line" when the teacher blew the wistle won. When the teachers heard what we called that game, we couldn't play it anymore. So I came up with 'Kill the guy with the ball' as a new name and we started playing again a few days later. A teacher asked if we were playing Smear the queer, we said "no this is Kill the guy with the ball." A few of us would get a bloody nose from time to time but nothing serious.
My favorite game was called ASSES UP, again with a kick ball played in a sort of odd nook in the building where there were 3 full walls. Toss the ball off the walls and some one has to catch it. If you are hit or drop the ball, you get a letter. Once ASSES UP was spelled for some one, that person had to go up to the front wall and everyone got a shot with the ball to hit him in the ass. The teachers never did figure out the name of that game.
Ahhhhh childhood memories........
No he is saying that either through his own mistake, or the mistake of another application, he screwed up his system. Which then was fixed in 7 hours by a MS-rep.
I haven't called MS support for a personal problem, but have for the server support. And I would do it again if I was in a bind like I was. I was on the phone with the engineer for like 30 minutes. Oh and this was after I spent a day searching on the internet for answers.
As for their being more free "knowledge" on the internet(web, newsgroups,etc) for MS stuff than OS stuff....to hard to say IMO.
Wow, there are people here that realize that 80% of the worlds computer users aren't uber geeks and don't have a clue what an OS is, let alone how to switch to a different one? I'm impressed.
I hate it when large corparations use money to influence government. I bet George, John, Ben, Thomas, and the rest of the gang in the Continental Congress are rolling over in the graves.
Ok yeah MS has a lot of difficulty staying on track with software development, and what have you. But with out MS, would there be a computer in most peoples homes? Would a large number of us have jobs being the tech-geeks we are? And how many of you have never run a MS OS on their computer or their parents? I bet not a lot can say that. I say, show MS a little respect, with out them the PC wouldn't be anywhere near where its at today.
But if given the oppertunity I bet your friend would like to have a prostectic that works more like a real arm. No one is calling him or other amputees hopeless, just trying to make an adequate replacement for the real thing.
Balmer is the CEO, he answers to the Board of Directors, and Chairmain of the Board is Bill Gates. Paul Allen, if I recall correctly, is still on the Board of Directors also.

Don't for get about the training costs to get everyone in your organization up to speed on the new software.
Sorry, couldn't remember if it was Spindler or not. But you get the point....

Just make sure you buy second generation version of the product, then its a good product.
Just for that VM. Now if the Host OS BSODs....thats bad for all VMs.
Paying ones taxes and lobbying for leaner taxes/regulations, putting influence on other governments on your behalf...etc, is entirely different.
