Roses are #f00, violets are #00f. This witty code is a boffinry breakthrough

Windows 8.1: 'It's good for enterprises, too,' says Redmond

Zadkiel
WTF?

Yeah, right

let me refer you to this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2748329

"Windows 7 and Windows 8 use similar user profile formats, which do not support interoperability when they roam between computers that are running different versions of Windows. When a user who has a Windows 7 profile signs in to a Windows 8-based computer for the first time, the user profile is updated to the new Windows 8 format. After this occurs, the user profile is no longer compatible with Windows 7-based computers"

Good for Enterprises? Don't make me laugh. Tell me of ANY Enterprise using Roaming Profiles (with users roaming between machines) that could manage an upgrade of workstations from Win7 to Win8 with this restriction in place. Ridiculous.

Ten four-bay NAS boxes

useless

considering this is a site with a target audience of IT professionals, this review is all but pointless.

a) these should all be rack mount servers, not silly square boxes that have their place sitting on desks at home

b) no mention of support for business NAS requirements, such as ISCSI, interface teaming, encryption, Auth via AD, LDAP etc...
