@Dashrender It's too late now. All the spam bots have already screen scraped the image and subscribed you to Cat Facts Hourly, Cat Facts Weekly, FurBaby Facts Monthly, and Arachnids R Us.

it's a really good thing I moved away from that address primarily.

Yeah but that says nothing about this specific case in regards to VOSE rights.

A brave move, seems like they really want to iron out all issues!

Not good man, not good.

I didn't even turn it on. From the description it sounds like a really bad idea. It's like autofiltering that takes more work than real filtering, isn't as reliable, is less predictable and then alerts you anyway completely defeating its own purpose.

Wow...found it! I have less stored than I thought. Most of the heavy and "not allowed stuff" is on my Google Drive.

Hasn't Intel already done this too?

Yup

I thought I read some where that Microsoft is making the jump from 6.4 to 10, which will be the first time the os and kernel match. I could be wrong though.

Linux did a renumbering too, recently, to make the number more marketable. But 3.0 is actually part of the 2.6 family. At best you could consider it 2.8. Microsoft may do the same thing, switch from a meaningful numbering to a marketing number. But the new kernel is remaining part of the Vista kernel family.

So the service is nothing but the GUI, as expected. 🙂 Thanks for verifying. Nice to know for sure I'm not crazy from time to time.

Overview

Storage Spaces Direct seamlessly integrates with the features you know today that make up the Windows Server software defined storage stack, including Scale-Out File Server, Clustered Shared Volume File System (CSVFS), Storage Spaces and Failover Clustering. Figure 4 below illustrates the “Storage Spaces Direct” stack:

It does a ton. It's been the leader of Microsoft's extensive platform for over a decade. It's their application and integration platform.

Thanks for the heads-up. We just reserved ours. I have really been liking Windows 10 tech preview on one of my other machines.

I hear it is just a change in name plus a few more things borked.

The UI is a bit different and so will the program name be different.

Well that explains everything 🙂

It me it seems the OS just gets out of the way more and lets me do what I want to do. With Android the OS kinda gets in the way of doing tasks more and doesn't let me just work without having to think about it. If that makes sense.
