If you want Windows Server 2012 that's fine but the rest of us are waiting for the Windows 8 Release Preview.

You must not be using anything big on your domain. Windows 2008 r2 is soooo worth upgrading to from 2003 even if its only for a couple of months.

2K3 R2 Still will do most activities for Domain handling and file serving just fine for any business under 100 members. Above that I feel 2k8 R2 is a must. If they're doing RDP Hosting though, the price is prohibitive to do small steps.

Using Server 2k3 here, and we have >2,000 users.... Goodness knows how many files, on lovely 100MB Cables. :rofl:

We are a library of about 120 users. I think Its worth upgrading to for the full machine backup built into windows 2008 r2 . We also upgraded because we started using hyper-v which is cheaper for us in the long run.

Ouch McKay... I just upgraded one of my higher performance demanding clients to 2K8 R2 on an i7 3820 with 64 GB DDR3 Quad Channel running their database off 2 Intel 520's in a Mirror RAID all across dual gigabit. I'd go nuts on a system that old lol

    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had. Same with the built-in picarts selection.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.
