that makes sense, especially SQL and ERP

I started (again) The Black Prism

I finished that series, at least what is currently published. I started the wheel of time series again, for the third time.

that's not what I meant. I know the end customer always pays the piper in the end. But I feel like if an app relies on a newer version of java, won't it be bundled into the install? Or is this going to show up as an additional line item for the end customer the way CALs do when purchasing windows server?

but who does this actually effect, developers?

a good point that SAM mentioned to me, If you start with redundancy, you are committing the cost up front in the (most likely) unlikely event of a failure. But even if the backup strategy costs the same, you only incur those costs when you actually have that emergency.

The need for an 'online account' is ridiculous.. stupid MS.

There is not a need. but a strong ass push.

For typical home users - it's likely just better for them to use an MS account. In the business world - if we choose domain, all that other shit should go the hell away!

My biggest peeve with it is them asking for the password when setting up an account for someone else.

For domain computers, I always setup the first account for my own use as the admin. End users never use local account. That account is always the same for each computer.

But the same from where? From AD? from Microsoft?

I do the same - the local account is created during setup, but my GPOs neuter it after I join the domain. All other users are are domain users.

As for home users - I don't support any other than myself and my wife.. so meh.

I keep that local admin account. It has come in handy many times. It doesn't come from anywhere, it gets created each time on a new workstation.

I agree, and that is a good argument. @scottalanmiller convinced me of a similar idea when we discussed my project before I settled on buying a single new host. Here is something to add. If you have two bridges, it's probably likely that you could make the first bridge more reliable for less than the cost of the second bridge. So one strong bridge may be better than two average bridges. It is probably also a good idea to plan ahead and factor in the cost of a a ferry service that could be used in an emergency while the primary bridge was being repaired or replaced. So far this analogy works and has real work equivalents. This is also the reason I decided against HA, as putting my resources into a great backup solution will get me ahead in the long run.

Looks like a host reboot fixed the issues.

I'm trying to get shared nothing live migrations to work in hyper-v
