Well, except for provide roads, school systems, emergency medicine, justice systems, police protection, fire protection, civil defense, national defense, libraries, research subsidies...
Yup, all nothing.
Unfortunately the reality is, in the wrong hands pretty much any solution can seem shitty. Doesn't matter if it's Exchange, Postfix, Sendmail, Exim, or even Google Apps (I've managed to bollocks up my Google Apps configuration a few times).
And I would agree, older Exchange versions were a dog (like 5.5 etc). It's come ahead by leaps and bounds since then though.
Never seen that before. Either we have phenomenal administrators (unlikely, I've met them) or the people running that install were frankly incompetent. I'm leaning toward the latter.
Right. Plug an unconfigured Sendmail or Postfix server into the internet, and it magically configures itself.
Your post is the dumbest shit I've heard all day.
Then why the fuck aren't they using EWS?
Google Video for Business. Gone.
(According to Google, "use Google Drive instead").
You do realise that Windows domains at greater than Windows NT 4 functional level don't have Primary Domain Controllers right? Are you saying that Samba 3 can act as a FSMO Master role server in a Windows 2003 functional level domain?
(The answer is no by the way - only Samba 4 can do this, and even then the functionality is still buggy according to the Samba project).
Side note, SMB isn't used for domain communications, it's LDAP/S and Kerberos (well, Kerb5 or whatever it's called). Your post appears to completely apply only to NT 4 domains.
In all fairness, Google has a tendency to keep any retired services running for Apps users (Wave notwithstanding). If they don't, then they tend to migrate the data to a comparable service automatically (e.g. all Google Video data being migrated to Google Drive).
Oh. A chair joke. How original.
Google Apps now has the same privacy policy as regular free Google services.
No, they receive the results of searches for users that have the Bing toolbar and the option to send your search queries and results to Microsoft turned on. Not at all the same thing.
And I'm preeeeetty sure that Google Toolbar does the same thing.
We have a 0% message loss rate with Exchange. What's your point? Email is also delivered virtually instantly, provided our internet connection doesn't fail.
Almost like the Exchange administrators wherever you worked were complete imbeciles or something.
Microsoft Tax? EAS is royalty-free, license fee-free and has a patent covenant-not-to-sue so long as it's implemented correctly. Continuing to support it would have cost Google nothing other than the man hours to keep it working. There was no "Microsoft Tax".
No, it means it's illegal for anyone to have nuclear powered ships or weapons in our waters. That's why we don't get invited to US Military parties.
Purchase of a FREE course - Coursera never charges for anything. I'm a little confused by your assertion.
Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable, and three parts which are still under development.
