  1. Re: Pro vs Enterprise on Windows 10 Pro Is a Dead End For the Enterprise, Gartner Says (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Biggest issue for .nix migration for the enterprise is that there is a lot of software that we use that just wonâ(TM)t run under .nix and only on windows. Erp for one is a MAJOR investment and the life blood of the corporation installation, setup and implementation can easily run in the millions.

    Only route I can think of is to get a business subscription to office 365. We are currently getting business premium for 12.50 a month. Once you have a subscription you can purchase an add on subscription for 10 enterprise for 5$ a month per machine.

    Actually email is depending more and more on things like dkim for email authentication at the source. (Special dkim code in registrar dns) and I have actually had issues with some mail servers since we donâ(TM)t have one. Curtly in the middle of an office 365 migration. So I almost see a point where email will more secure than pots.

    How, the materials they are using already are present on this planet and have a fixed weight. Now if they were pulling the resources from another planet, that would be a different story.

    Or purchased a computer with it pre installed. I still remember the 36 floppy disk install for os/2 warp, took 4 hrs to install it back in '92. Used it for like a week and reinstalled windows for workgroups. Biggest issue back then was that there was just 0 support from ibm for it and very little support for hardware unless you purchased specifically off their hardware list..

  7. Hmm, 90% of the systems I have to work with in a corporate environment with no budget...

  8. You must be doing some hard core.. something? I have only bought amd for decades and my personal upgrade path is every 6-10 years.. I may upgrade my video card every 3-4 years, but beyond that it just seems like a total waste of money.. but then.. I abhor first person shooters and pvp..

  18. I've been running Windows 10 betas since they were available and I know at least Symantec with their end point protection had something that worked when we were still in technical preview..
