So I just noticed that SW did an update last night to make marketing promotions in posts do something odd and they've now broken "technical posting." I found it because you can type RAID 10 but you can't type RAID 1+0. If you do, the + is automatically removed because they now appear to use the + sign for a dedicated marketing purpose - to add vendor promotions into posts. Very, very strange and definitely shows that no technical person was involved in the thinking behind the feature change. Very clear that, again, marketing is driving all of the decision making and not the community or technical representatives or proxies who could tell them when ideas are just silly and/or break critical basic functionality needed for the claimed purpose of the community.

Just got it confirmed that it was an intentional "update." So any discussion involving HP RAID, for example, has to happen here rather than there as you can't write out the information there.

What if you use the code box option? a pain, certainly, but probably a solution.

OK here goes nothing..
I've shutdown my Exchange VM so I can create a snapshot before installing SP3. -

Looks like you tested that. This is a pretty major fail. A developer knew so little about the purpose (supposedly) of the community that he implemented a feature whose only function is to cripple the community.

Breakfast time. Errr.... it is kind of lunch time now.

Three what turned out to be minor errors in pre check (disable backup services, install Filterpack 2010, and IIE 6 WMI) Those are done and now the install is going.

what is clotted cream?
Popular dairy item in England. It's a thick reduced cream.

OMG - the new updates to OWA would allow me to remove office from 70-80% of my users who only needed it for access to Outlook so they could easily update calendars like (OWA pre 2010 Sp1 didn't make it easy) At least we did the purchasing back before SP1 was out so this wasn't an option, therefore not money spent needlessly.
-
Yes, OWA was the big winner in that service pack.

Surprisingly, there wasn't an Urban Dictionary definition of clotted cream.

for some reason I never think to look at Urban Dictionary.

We first had it in England and fell in love with it. Very hard to find in the States. Better to just make it yourself.

It is way too quiet around here. Both here and some other communities are nearly silent. Maybe it is the two days of rain in the northeast that is doing it.

mmm. My boss is off sick, but my to-do list is about 2k long... and I'm reading old BOFH episodes!
I'm not good at working on my own in a quiet office unless there's some urgent deadline to really get me going.
But there's SOOOO much to do...... grr.
