Living Room / Re: NAS Recommendations?
« on: October 06, 2011, 05:22 AM »
From what I hear, the Synology offerings are pretty good.  Your requirements seem pretty basic, so most any *should* work for you as long as they are a decent brand.  From personal experience though?  Go elsewhere - never used/setup a NAS myself.

Microsoft has no problem with Linux running under Windows

Except that Hyper-V is not Windows.  It is Microsoft, but it is the hypervisor that Windows runs *on* and could just as easily be XenServer or VMware ESXi (okay, XenClient and VMware doesn't have a client-side equivalent...yet).  Linux can run *on* it too.  In fact, it already does in many, many shops.  Linux is NOT running *on* Windows in this case, just with it.  (Unless you want to stretch the definition of Windows to be *any* OS that Microsoft creates) 8)

Um...Did you guys miss that Hyper-V 3.0 is being included?  Sure you may not be able to dual boot traditionally, but you can still install it in it's own virtual machine.  What's more, depending on how they expose Hyper-V, you will be able to switch between the two on the fly and get native or near native performance from the OS.  The only argument I can see here is Carol's about using some sort of rescue CD - but then you should just be able to boot into a different VM anyway.  Indeed, the VM could be your rescue CD.  The only time these wouldn't work is if Hyper-V is borked, but then it isn't a Windows 8 issue anyway at that point.

General Software Discussion / Re: A unified solution for note taking and task management

If you add a GOOD Calendaring App to this, I am there looking as well.  The best I could find was Outlook, but I keep getting the Outlook database trashed for one thing or another.  I don't have Exchange services available, so that removes what EVERYONE says should make it easy, and kills Android connections.  Moreover, most other options either don't do all three or don't sync with mobile or both.  I don't want a web based solution either.  Give me a real app to access offline so I don't have to waste bandwidth looking up events, todo's etc., or just to create a new task, event, etc.  Let me know if you find ANYTHING at all that works for you! :Thmbsup:
