Their logo looks more like a crystal ball than a drum.

The reporting engines are pretty close to the same. WSUS uses a SQL Express engine, while SCOM requires a full SQL Server system (the requirements are crazy for it, but not unexpected, given the target market).

I think the Metro version of IE10 will be one that people finally embrace. The reason why is because IE10 is extremely streamlined and I don't think the UI will change much over the next few years, which will reduce the adverse reactions to change in the UI (IE7 and 8 were big changes in UI, and IE9 was another).

Your browser and your operating system are insecure and have been since they stopped supporting it. You shouldn't have it connected to the Internet. Period.

It lookslike caramel cotten candy!

Not unlike Apple rejecting service on smokers' PCs for health concerns of their employees.

"What part of my post could possibly make you think I was a female??"

Ya what a noob fangrl! I got her "cultural heritage" right here!

Do you want fries with that?

He's choking Schroedinger's chicken.

Maybe if the security chick likes to ride bareback...

Gift cards. That's what we give. We just exchange names for gifts.

500's BC medicine: is there nothing it can't cure?

I'm all for a hot security chick giving me a rub, er... I mean... pat down.

Why distort reality?
