    I don't have any need for a #Windows #VPS, but I'll send this info to S and K, who are being dragged into $EMPLOYER's cloud-centric future. If they get some hands on with something like this in the next year or so and also something like #MSAzure, they'll be ahead of the curve.

    They seem to have a lot of #Windows server deals in their list this year. https://nu.federati.net/url/288620 [lowendbox com]

    I remember when a Windows #VPS was generally so expensive that you only did it if you absolutely had to fit into a Windows Server + ActiveDirectory + IIS + SQL Server + ... world. At these prices, I suspect they aren't paying the license fees ... the buyer will be forced to pay them on top of whatever they pay for the VPS.

    That's like: this car is $20K. If you also want the engine, that's $20K more. For $10K more, we'll throw in the braking system.

    LEB is in the midst of their Black Friday blowout. The above "deal" on a #Windows #VPS is an example. They are on both #Low_End_Box and #Low_End_Talk ... but besides not having any budget available, I also remember a few years ago when several #LEB hosts (who all used #ColoCrossing's dedicated servers, if I remember correctly) were shut down a few weeks after a similar sales event. I doubt that any of the buyers got refunds for unused hosting time that they'd paid for.

    #Microsoft has this irritating 😠 pop-up in #Outlook to tell you how wonderful their new always-in-the-way search is. So far, it seems inadequate for a mid-sized inbox (mine is currently around 8,000 items, though it is time for another pruning), and probably gets worse for people with large inboxes (we have certain people who have over 100,000 items in their inbox).

    If it is compared with #Bing’s search and the built-in #Windows search, it probably is improved. Since today’s my day off and Rich from Mich (-igan) keeps calling to ask about setting up a laptop, I opened Windows Explorer, found the folder, searched for the “IT Setups Guide” document ... it didn’t appear. But when I manually scrolled and found it, it was there under the name I searched for.

    In Rich’s defense, he’s setting up a domain laptop for another user in a location that does not have a connection to the domain. I’m not even sure the person who writes that document even covered that situation, but it can’t hurt to ensure Rich has access to the unofficial reference that is now being used in official trainings.

    @adcock No, I have not had any recent issues with #PulseAudio. Others have, but I've been using #Win10 or my #iPad for media playing and voicechat.

    I did have a #Windows issue where a chat could not find my microphone except during audio setup, but I think it was because #WinUpdate required a reboot.

    I was trying to audiochat with someone a week or two ago, using the #Win10 laptop. The chat system wouldn't pick up my microphone, even though the audio tuning phase heard and played back my audio. This is modern computing. #Windows cloning the #Linux #PulseAudio ("Why isn't this working?!?!") experience.
