What an intelligent informative comment. Not.

Hyper-V exceeds or has caught up with VMware in pretty much every key area. So if it sucks, it sucks less than the market leader....

Re: The largest deal breaker for MS VM will never be fixed.

You clearly don't have a clue what you are talking about. The whole of Windows Server has several times fewer vulnerabilities than Vsphere, and Hyper-V Server has an order of magnitude fewer vulnerabilities than vSphere.....

Re: 'Free' licenses

No you dont - Hyper-V does not come with ANY virtualisation rights. Only Windows Server has that....

Re: Ho hum....

Security? You mean like Vsphere 4 having more vulnerabilities than the whole of Windows Server 2008?

Better networking - you mean like the shared nothing migration in Hyper-V that vsphere still cant manage? Or software networking thats free in the base Hyper-V product, but for Vsphere you have to spend a fortune on Vcloud Director?

Greater reliability - you mean like cross datacentre clustering and replication free in the base Hyper-V product?

Scalability - you mean like 32 times the disk size, twice the VMs per cluster and 3 times the IOPS of Vsphere? http://blogs.technet.com/b/schadinio/archive/2012/07/07/over-1-million-iops-from-a-single-vm.aspx

Management - you mean like SCOM, SCCM, SCSM, and SCO? A far more capable and integrated offering than anything Vsphere has.....

Hyper-V Server 2012 is completely free so dont get your point about costs? And as to licensing, whats the issue?

VMWare have got big problems - Hyper-V 2012 matches or exceeds the performance of Vsphere 5, it is totally free, and it can cope with 64TB VM Disks whereas Vsphere is still crippled with a 2TB limit.

Re: Big shocker that

A good reason to use SQL server. Only a couple of security vulnerabilities in the last decade versus hundreds for Oracle.....

Re: Matt, did you have too much prune juice this morning?

No it's what anyone independent and rational says that counts. What he did was consensual and therefore not rape by any reasonable definition. And actually i'm more right wing, so wrong there too.

Re: Any chance of a bit of common sense

Just so wrong and clueless. Actually the CIA has no problem at all with grabbing well known people from public view in European countries:

Anyway, the concern here is not kidnap, but that they would engineer false allegations to discredit Assange / or get him back to a country where he can be extradited. Hardly unbelieveable bearing in mind that kidnap is routine...

Re: Matt, did you have too much prune juice this morning?

What he is accused of doesnt equate to rape. More like being a bit inconsiderate.

Re: Any chance of a bit of common sense

Yes we do believe the CIA would do this - they are well known for dirty tricks. This approach means that he looses public support and credibility from anyone who believes the claims.

Re: Spoddyhalfwit

But that's because he doesnt want a surprise trip to the USA. Its quite clear that these allegations wouldnt get past the interview stage...

Re: RICHTO the short of memory

Utterly wrong. The UK court didnt consider if there was a case to answer at all. All that they consider is is the extradition warrant valid.

Re: aid@logic.org.uk

But the UK court doesnt consider the actions at all. How could they - the UK court has been presented with no evidence. Unfortunately all that they consider is is the extradition warrant valid. This is one of the big problmes with the current system - especially with extraditions to the USA.

Re: The smoking gun..

Sweden is quite capable of interviewing him in the UK - and has done similar in other previous cases. But they are refusing to do this for him - which leads to the conclusion that this is polictically motivated and that the USA are hoping to get him extradited.

Re: Doesn't matter

Yes - of badly embarrassing the Americans....

The reason he doesnt want to face the claims (which are rediculously flimsy and are anyway his word versus theirs) is that he risks being extradited the the USA!

It is quite clear that this case wouldnt even get past the initial questioning let alone near a court room.

Re: @RICHTO

There is no evidence that he knew she woudl not consent - and in fact she did.

If she was really worried about HIV then she could have told him to stop before the end - and removed 99% of the risk - regardless that he had already started.

There are two options here - either these were politically driven claims - or these 2 women were just pissed off that he got one over on both of them during the same visit and tried to get revenge....

Neither of the things he has been accused of constitute rape in any commonly accepted meaning of the word...

Re: But

I guess it's better than storing it on your wardrobe like Monica?

Re: aid@logic.org.uk

If im in bed with someone and they let me have sex with them, I dont ask for explicit permission to start again. Its taken as a given that consent has been given. They have the option of withdrawing consent, but they need to communicate the fact....'No, Stop' is the commonly accepted method....

Re: aid@logic.org.uk

So she consented then. Both before by having sex with him in bed and after by letting him continue. How is there even a case here?

And the 'continued after a condom burst' is even more rediculous. How do you prove he knew it had burst, and even if it had, how is that even a crime? He is already in the situation at that point.

Both of these cases are his word versus theirs and there is no supporting evidence. It's quite clearly a political fit up.

Re: Good general purpose heuristic

But the main alternatives - Firefox, Safari, Chrome all have far more vulnerabilities than current IE versions! Are we to go without a browser?!

Re: Arghhh

You are very much mistaken (except for maybe Opera) or you need to update to IE9 then. See Secunia.org:

Re: Arghhh

Not really, Safari is generally hacked first every year at the Pwn to Own competition....

Yes it wouldnt make sense to switch permanently if security is your concern. IE 9 has had significantly fewer security vulnerabilities since launch than Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Opera have in the same period.

Re: You're kidding me; right?

That wasnt a proper benchmark - it was a small bit of code that they worked for months to optimise. In true wideranging benchmark tests, Direct X still significantly outperforms Open GL.

Re: Kinect?

Kinect V1 is very good at what it does - - but it isnt accurate enough for single finger control required for say full combat games, etc.

This will come with Kinect V2 due very soon....

nb - SCOM includes monitoring legacy OSs out of the box too (seeing as that will be relevant for most Puppet users): http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2012/07/30/now-available-system-center-2012-operations-manager-monitoring-pack-for-unix-and-linux-operating-systems.aspx

.

Wrong,. Group policy is - as it says - policy mangement - it in no way provides automation funtionality - which is what Systems Centre Orchestrator does.

SCOM was leagues in front of Nagios in the 2007 R2 version with far more intelligence in event correlations and issue resolution - and the gap has only widened since with the release of the 2012 version and the integration to Service Manager - for which there is simply no comparison for Nagios.

Re: Office to propel Windows tablets past Android in 2015

Possibly - but Google's current 'Docs' product can't even display most Office documents properly. Not an option for anyone that relies on Office.

Well I havnt bought a tablet becuase im waiting for one with Office on, and i'm sure there are plenty like me...

Re: Probably wrong...

It might have taken Microsoft 5 years - but they have a much better product than Google Docs - and it offers seemless transition to and from other cloud hosted Office SaaS providers or to and from on premises deployments with a single management console.

Google is the poor man's option. Not that it actually costs any less when you look at the full TCO.

Re: Another 'prediction'

Seems about the right percentage for Windows RT which is a cutdown / consumer type product.. However what about the 20-30% of the market that Windows 8 full version will undoubtedly take on tablets?
