    Advice on XP Pro X64

    Last but very much not least, media arguments are VERY relevant, as KK is a technical writer.

    Advice on XP Pro X64

    Trust me, that was option #1 that we recommended. Option #2, being XP x64, because of Server 2k3 being the closest MS has come to Linux with reliability. (still a ways to catch Linux, but man, 2k3 will run on bad hardware that will BSOD XP 32bit in a good deal of cases)

    Advice on XP Pro X64

    That is not completely true, as someone who has worked on hundreds, if not thousands of Vista machines with: clean loads, OEM loads, DIY loads, you name; Windows 7 is NOT nearly as slow as Vista out of the box on a 7 OEM load. I only had to play with it a few minutes to see that. It is much...

    Advice on XP Pro X64

    Here is the ultimate reasoning for hating 7, for me, many may agree. It is really what Vista should of been, let alone a service pack for Vista, instead all of the people that got hosed on Vista are told less then a few years later to upgrade, but pay for a new licence, when what they bought was...

    Advice on XP Pro X64

    XP x64 has a lot more of server 2k3 in it, then XP 32bit. So using that XP is 8 years old, is not the most valid point either. Honestly guys, I just plain hate new software and MS is not my favorite company by far, so not supporting their every try to make money does not make me dumb.

    Advice on XP Pro X64

    That is a valid point about the 2k8 server kernel in 7. One last thing to add to weighing of pros and cons, is the fact that he has XP x64 licences, not 7, so unless you are going to push pirating, he would have to buy a new license. I would better see that money spent on hard drives, then the...

    Advice on XP Pro X64

    Wet hammer here. I do not believe that we have meet, but anyone that is dumb enough to compare a home OS (Windows 7) to that of an OS which runs a server 2k3 kernel and call me dumb, can at least do it to me directly. You should prolly check out my worklogs and see what my goals are always and...

    I gave up this company weeks ago. Tooooooooooo slow and crappy software are the chief complaints.

    67TB in 4U for under $8000

    What are the data limits on Mozy Home. Anyone care to give reviews. I am actually both interested for myself (10TB of data on a RAID that I manually backup) and for clients with just the usually amount of data. My problem is with this amount of data, I really do not think they will let me use a...

    For the moment, I think better off site backup, would be to build a badass box and ship it to Ockie's data center (with backup data on it and sync it it up to date daily from there on out.)

    Crap software, I could not agree more. I have 100+ GBs on another drive is directly attached to my main box, we will see how long that takes to backup.
