Having messed around with the preview copy of the new Windows Server 2012, I was surprised to see that it boots straight into the 'desktop app' instead of going to the not-called-Metro Metro interface. Now surely there is no issue with Microsoft doing this for their servers, so why is it an issue for their client OS? After all, both are based off of the same system.

I'm thinking, as a consumer at least, that Windows 8 is not an operating system I want to use. Besides the pain in the ass Metro interface, the main issue is not being able to play DVD videos natively without buying extra software, something I don't need to do with 7, MacOS or even a Linux distro. Being at university without a TV and DVD player means I use my PC to play films, so that's a big killer for me.

Basically, what Cederic said. A NAS is a very specific piece of equipment, designed and engineered for a specific task, that of storing data/programs in a location reachable on a network. If you want to be running other services, such as DNS, then utilise a server solution, not a NAS solution. In reality, a server is infinitely more versatile than a NAS solution.

I don't think you can really say 'most people prefer GUIs'. It depends what market segment you're talking about, a web server administrator may well prefer CLI, SSH or PowerShell as opposed to a GUI. I certainly prefer a command prompt to a GUI when dealing with administrative tasks, it just makes it a lot simpler and more efficient to do that sprawling through menus and options.

You can install the master collection on two computers anyway and not use them simultaneously. The EULA specifically states you can have a copy on a mobile computer (aka laptop) and on a desktop for the same license, I've been doing it for years. I don't think I'm going to bother upgrading for the security fix though, Adobe is such a drain on resources, I'd rather wait until CS7 (or, come next year, 6.5)

If he knew that the other activist had already been arrested, why would you accept a chat from them AND then accept a file transfer from them? Do these activists not use some super secret codes to tell each other they are who they say they are?
