Are there some other core VirtualBox features I'm not aware of that keep people pinned to it?
Its support for passing USB devices through to guests is pretty good. I have a Gentoo VM on a Win7 box for the sole purpose of continuing to use a scanner that the manufacturer doesn't support on Win7. The only area where it's let me down in the past was with trying to mess with iPhone firmware (such as for jailbreaking) from a Windows VM on a Linux host...don't know if it was something weird Apple was doing with USB or something else. Have other virtualization options caught up with this?
Also, VirtualBox console windows are less of a hassle to deal with than VMware console windows. Even with their respective guest addons installed and active, VMware is still enough of an annoyance that I'd rather RDP or SSH into the VM in question. (In fairness, VirtualBox is running locally, while the VMware VMs are on a couple of ESXi 5.x boxes accessed through vSphere...maybe their desktop virtualization tools, which I've not used in eons, are better.)
Exchange client on Android isn't horrible.
This is because the ability of other apps to integrate with Exchange is getting too good.
DavMail is a nice little bit of software that allows just about anything to talk to Exchange. I have it on my computer at work so I can use Thunderbird (and Lightning) instead of Outlook. It sits in the system tray, only popping up a notification when a newer version is available. While I've not tried running it on a server so that multiple people can use it, my understanding is that you can do that with it as well.
I like them a lot.
My wife has an ipad that she gets to use. (She's a teacher at a school, it belongs to the school.) I'm not a big fan of iOS. It feels too restrictive to me.
No - not settings.
I move around between devices a lot - phones and so on. You can set what you want saved but for me it is photos, contacts, apps - not sure about what else.
Stuff that normally lives in the cloud anyway (keep, gmail, so on) of course all come back.
On this one it gave me the option to put my icons back on the home screens and I chose it but it didn't work.
But I'm pretty good at getting things back to the way I want pretty quickly on account of doing stuff like this so often.
For a more entertaining version of how the Soviets influenced America and operated on her soil, I recommend watching 'The Americans' on FX network. Set in the 80's during the height of the cold war, the plotlines in the show are based roughly on actual events documented in the book, and from other sources of KGB history.
Seconded. Season 3 just started; I'm still catching up on season 2.
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
