@scottalanmiller I don't use Imaging.
I guess I should break down the costs of buying the box without windows and using VL instead. probably a decently close comparison.

VL is upgrade only. It can't be used on a machine without OEM. You buy one VL license to get imaging rights so you don't need to track OEMs. Buying more VLs is for upgrades.

Exactly - Imaging rights is about the only nice/gime that MS has done with their licensing.

You buy ONE VL upgrade and you can apply imaging rights to all computers in your company with that exact same version. I.E. If you OEM licenses are all Windows 7, and you buy the VL upgrade for one of them, you can use the Windows 7 VL media to image every one of them.

There's no point in buying VL for the rest of the computers unless you plan to upgrade them to the next OS. (yeah I know this is the long winded way to say what Scott just said)

Was bound to happen eventually.

No clue.

I just use the console too. Few clicks and you are done.

Yup. Backup, Update, go back to sleep. that's my process.

That's insane. Luckily Oracle DB is rare in the SMB.

Azure has its own object storage mechanism (similar to Swift in OpenStack or S3 in Amazon AWS) so to allow you to learn or test behavior they have an emulator so that you can mimic that storage locally.

If I use my fingers to gauge the length of Japan, going from end to end of the main body would be similar to a Seattle to San Diego trip here.

Basically yes.

The common quoted phrase is "1/3 the population of the US in a land area the size of California."
That is not exactly right, but makes it easy to see on a map of the US.

Anyone got anything left unpatched?

Hopefully no one replies to this, as it would be a great way to find targets.

LOL, good point. Although very hard to trace back an online profile to an IP address.

We don't have good internet connection.. Am i safe now?

Not quite. SSL connections generally don't require much bandwidth.

Well Totally i disconnected our production machine into internet.
@scottalanmiller is right. No stable internet connection.

Very funny indeed.
