I agree with you as its all about choice but for me its windows all the way. This maybe because I work with windows day in day out but for me MS offers the best in everything. At home I have 2 windows 7 laptops a windows home server 2011 and a windows phone 7 and for me it works very well together. I know I can connect a mac to my home serer but because I have everything more or less MS it all works very well together and the 3rd party support makes it even better as I also have a Samsung gal...
I work in IT and every pc we support is windows and i always get a mac home user saying if this was my mac i would not have this problem. But people done see what windows offers compared to mac os. I have to explain to them that a mac is like a iphone it will only let you do what apple want you to do and nothing more and a windows pc is like a android phone you can do more or less what you want with it and thia is why it is used more than a mac through out the world. The biggest problem when ...
Your setup sounds very good and that is my only gripe about WHS2011 is it needs a x64 processor and 2GB of ram where the old WHS only needed a p3 with 256mb of ram but I have a high end pc as my server but this is because I download and convert all my Videos to Divx so all my media devices can read them and having a high end pc lets me rip alot of videos alot quicker then using a slow pc but one of my mates have just got a low end low cost HP server box for £220 and installed whs2011 ont...
TBH this dose not surprise me in the UK as it is a big XBOX country any way so you will find it will be mates that are making the switch to play online.
I am not a big PSN user so this has not affected my like alot of other people but I would only expect the same response if xbox live was down for this long or any online service no matter how big or small they are just because of the way online gaming has changed the console market.
I had not heard of Zenytal Server but from what I have just read about it sounds interesting. But whs2011 dose not have a user limit but has a 10 pc limit but i only have 4 pcs at home anyway. I agree WHS was not the best on the market but have you tried whs 2011? imo big improvement on whs and it works out the box this is why I decided to upgrade to it instead of any other free or paid for server. Plus with having the new silver light plug in it means my bro who is in uni at the mo can log i...
At the end of the day we are all different. I work in IT so I am not a novice in computing and I know what Linux apple and Microsoft offers and for me MS offers more. I tried the Linux rout at work as I said but its was just too much messing about to get everything to work. That is why I took the MS rout and got a windows home sever and just upgraded to 2011 and out of the box it is by far the best on the market and everything is just easy to setup and works out of the box. SO at home my serv...
There is alot of devices and options to do this its nothing new but is a good idea. The new windows home server 2011 is also able to do this and works very well.
Apart from 7zip I would not use any of them and why use windows live mail when you have outlook 2010. I was a big believer in using Linux rather than windows a few years ago but MS have really turned things around over the last few years any I now have a MS setup at home that for me works better and alot less hassle to setup than using Linux or Apple.
O well ill get over it. Im sure MS will make Skype bigger than it is now.
Maybe maybe not but I still dont see this as a bad thing in anyway.
Wow alot of hate here why is MS buying Skype a bad thing? Not a lot will change in terms of what Skype will work on. Psp will still be supported as well as android iPhone ect. All that will happen is it will be under MS massive finance and we may see a Skype app for kinect and beable to do cross video chat with msn. Really don't get why people hate MS.
If they can get MS to back this device with Windows 8 then they could be on for a winner but if MS do not back it its not worth trying. Linux is not as simple to use as a windows pc and this is what people know how to use.
I dont see ms showing anything of the new console this E3 because they have only just released Kinect and the new 360. MS have said they have a big line up of core games this year and why would they ask them to carry on making AAA games like gears 3 forza 4 plus the other Kinect games that we know about if a new console was out soon.
I see MS showing off there next console at E3 12 and it being out November 12 or Feb 13.
I think once Nokia release there wp7 phones Apple will start to really struggle with both android and WP as it is now starting to get old and dose not offer half the features the other two do.
It will be the same as iPhone iPhone 3g 3gs n 4. how are people not getting bored of buying the same over priced Device every 12 months that looks the same and is missing thing other phones have. Can't wait for this Apple bubble to burst.
think the Apple bubble is starting to burst now. People have a better choice of smart phones to pick from now than they did when the orignal iPhone was released and because for the past 3 years they have upgraded there iPhone its starting to get boating and people notice that its the same thing over and over again with a few tweeks. Plus its expensive too.
I think Android and Windows phone 7 will start to take over Apple in the next 2 years as android is growing each year a...
I wonder if anyone will do anything to apple about this? Im feeding not. Are well never liked the office so will not affect me but I wonder if it will have an affect on sales of the devices.
Cool thnks for the update. I live in the uk and we dont have 4G here yet but ill keep my eye open for it.
I do think Blackberry have shot them selfs in the foot with this tablet though. I am not a fan of the blackberry devices but I do like the look of this one but not having a 3G version of the tablet to me any way makes it pointless to have one. But out of all the tables I have seen on the market so far the OS looks very nice and very stable but for me anyway there is to much it will not do with out the owner also having a blackberry so to me only apply to a small number of the market where th...
Looks really good and although it seems to be a skin ontop of windows 7 I think MS are going in the right direction in all there devisions.
Making Windows OS Windows Phone 7 Tablets Slates Laptops ect all look more or less the same is a good idea as it means you can pickup any device and just start using it without having to figger out what option dose what.
For years I have wondered why MS have kept all there OS's different and never brought them all tog...
