Is there any reason not to user Hyper-V anymore?

Where do you get $2-6k from for another hypervisor?
If you need Enterprise Plus and lots of sockets maybe, but the bulk of businesses on here would fit into Essentials or worst case Essentials Plus if they go the vSphere route.
As for Hyper-V, good enough I suspect, but it isn't vSphere.

I've been learning a bit more about Hyper-v over the past few months, mostly in my free time in my home lab.  Also been watching some of the 74-409 videos to get a better understanding of the technology.
So far, from what I've seen, Hyper-V has just about every bit of functionality as Xenserver or VMWare -with most of the preexisting complaints having been addressed years ago.  
And I also learned something interesting, when the Hyper-V role is installed, the host 2012 server OS becomes a VM, and runs within the hypervisor.  I thought that was pretty interesting.
So anyway, are there any complaints left to be lobbied against Hyper-V that would force you to buy a separate hypervisor for $2-6k?

  • Is there any reason not to make flash banners in FCP?

    I made some flash banners by setting the FCP sequence presets to the size I want, export the movie, then encode in On2. They look good and they are small files.....I realize the text is not as crisp because it has been encoded and is not live, and that interactivity is limited (On2 supports a hyperlink and an end jump at least) is there any big no-no in creating flash video content for the web in this way rather than with a flash developer program?
    Thanks for your opinion.

    None whatsoever. A movie is a movie. Once you cross the line into Flash interactivity, though, or wanting yoru text to be a live overlay, you may want to move to a more specialized app like, erm Flash. But movies are always going to be movies, even in Flash. Except for those pesky .swf which aren't really movies anyway.

  • Is there any reason not to use spaces in document file names anymore in a document library?

    We are revamping our sharepoint document library file naming conventions. In lots of blogs and tutorials, I have seen over and over the recommendation to use underscores instead of spaces in document file names in sharepoint. Part of this is I think to prevent
    the infamous %20 in URLs pointing to the documents. That doesn't really concern us and we don't generally have file names that approach 256 characters.  We don't want to go the route of having different document names than document titles so we want our
    document names to be a clear and readable as possible. We think that using spaces (and occasionally dashes) in the file names makes them more readable, and sharepoint 2010 seems to be able to search these file name correctly.  An example document file
    name would be "elephants - how to clean elephant cages".
    Has anyone run into a reason to avoid using spaces and dashes in document file names in sharepoint 2010? I don't want to start using spaces and then be sorry I did down the road. Thanks!

    It isn't going to lead to the fall of western civilisation.
    You will get longer and messier URLs for documents but it's very unlikely to cause issues. There have been some bugs in the past where hyphens in particular can be mis-encoded in searches but they only affect a small range of build numbers if memory serves.
    I much prefer using no spaces for document libraries as it makes the starting URLs so much cleaner but that's a style question. For documents unless you've got a very strict document naming standard spaces are common and dashes aren't uncommon.

  • Any reason not to trash old updating software?

    My utilities folder contains ipod updating software going back to 2003. Is there any reason not to send the old versions to the trash? It takes up a fair amount of space.
    Thanks.

    You may want to keep the very last version of the stand-alone iPod Updater app. There may be some rare case where the update/restore feature integrated into iTunes does not work properly, and you want to try it with the old updater. Note: Although iTunes gets regular updates, the iPod software version for the old iPods (installed by iTunes for update/restore) remains the same.
    Of course, if you no longer have the iPod(s) from that time, it would serve no purpose. iPods that were release after that point would not work with the old updater.

  • Any reason not to set up Hotmail account on ipod touch?

    I have just purchased a new iPod Touch. My main mail account is with Apple Mail, and I have a mobileme account. I also have a free Hotmail account? Is there any reason not to set up this Hotmail account on my touch, along with my Mail account - glitches, conflicts, etc. I can live without it if necessary. If no problems, can you point me to a step-by-step instruction guide to set up the Hotmail account? Thanks!

    You can use the web ... using Safari - go to www.hotmail.com - this should bring up a mobile version of the login page. Log in to Hotmail to see your mail. If you don't logout of Hotmail, but simply hit the touch Home button you will be able to recheck you mail just by launching Safari and selecting the pages icon (bottom right) and then selecting the Hotmail page. You will see a Refresh option (or you can touch the clockwise pointing arrow in the URL line).

  • TS1702 I have the iPhone 3S and have the update to ios6 on my phone.  Any reason NOT to update?  I've heard there are issues ...

    I have the iPhone 3gs.  Any reason NOT to update to iOS6?  I've heard there were glitches.

    The iOS 6 is great, but really is there some issues with some people. This is your choice, but i would suggest to update only when the new version of the iOS 6 (probably the 6.0.1) comes out.

  • Rverese proxy sugguestions - any reason not to use ISA2006 anymore?

    This is a silly question, but im just looking to publish meeting content outside the organization to external users, is there any reason for me not to use the old reverse proxy i was using for OCS2007 R2 which is ISA2006 ? i know its out of support and
    all of that but fundamentally it should do what i want it to do should it not? or are there any gaping security holes in the product i could drive a truck through?

    I believe ISA2006 will work for simply publishing Lync Web Services. (there wasn't too much of a change in how the publishing works from ISA 2006 to TMG that I can recall.)
    I am not aware of any giant security holes in the product, mainstream support did end in 2012 and I haven't seen any updates beyond 2009.
    A couple other alternatives if you don't have an appliance you can use (i.e Kemp/Citrix/F5 Loadbalancer) are:
    IIS ARR http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2013/02/19/using-iis-arr-as-a-reverse-proxy-for-lync-server-2013.aspx
    Windows 2012 R2 WAP http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2013/10/29/how-to-publish-lync-server-2013-web-services-with-windows-server-2012-r2-web-application-proxy.aspx
    In fact: Microsoft actual suggest that you can use ISA here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398069.aspx "You
    can use Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010, Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 SP1, or Internet Information Server 7.0, 7.5 or 8.0 with Application Request Routing (IIS ARR) as a reverse proxy."

  • Is there any reason photos in an album page display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

    Is there any reason photos in an album page created in iweb display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

    there are three displays in photos page:
    1) thumbnails grid - smallest
    2) deatial view and detail view slideshow - large
    3a) pop-up slideshow - vary - this is slideshow.html
    3b) or iphone/ipad slideshow phoneshow.html - iphone/ipad can't do pop-up
    it's difficult to know which you refer to.
    if you refer to pop-up slideshow then you should not look into iwebmediagrid.js as wyodor suggested.
    instead look in phoneshow.html and change width and heigth of element id slideshow:
    #slideshow {
    position: relative;
    width: 320px; /* this is default width */
    height: 360px; /* this is default height */
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    overflow: hidden;

  • Any Reason NOT to Upgrade?

    I immediately upgraded my mini to Leopard the moment Leopard was released, and am enjoying it. But my primary computer is my 17" 2.16 Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro. I chose NOT to upgrade it to Leopard immediately: I needed it to be "stable" and I give Keynote presentations weekly, and just didn't want to upset my routine. Also, some of my favorite utilities weren't immediately Leopard-capable...
    I just upgraded the 100GB drive to a 200GB drive, and I can "feel" a performance improvement...boot-up time is reduced, and things just feel quicker.
    ANYWAY - Is there any reason for me now NOT to upgrade to create a complete bootable backup and ARCHIVE & INSTALL Leopard onto my MBP?
    Thanks for your advice.

    Put the old drive into an external Firewire enclosure. Install Leopard on it. Update Leopard to 10.5.2 and update your third-party software. Run your MBP from the external drive for a week or so doing your typical stuff. If you have any problems it's simple enough to boot from your old system on the internal drive. If all works out OK then you can safely upgrade your old system or clone the external one to the internal drive.
    This is precisely how I do all my system upgrades. Saves a lot of time and headaches.

  • Is there any reason to use FCP text vs. Borris 3D?

    Is there any reason to use FCP text vs. Borris 3D?
    Thanks.

    boris is vector based, and the basic fcp text is bitmapped. What that means is that you can resize and reposition your type in the control tab with boris without any loss in quality. You cannot do this with fcp text. Also, I think the dropshadow, kerning and leading options are more extensive with boris. Not positive about this as I abandoned the basic fcp titler a long time ago.

  • Any reason NOT to update from iOS 4.3.5 to 5.1?  I'm scared.

    I have an iPhone 4, and I am running iOS 4.3.5.
    I am reluctant to update because everything is working fine.
    Any reasons to update?
    Any reasons NOT to update?
    I see a couple of APPS that I have that will no longer work unless I update.  But that's not a big deal at this point.
    I notice that some of the graphical interface has a different look (such as  the toggle switches).
    Thanks!

    A few reasons I think iOS 4 is better than 5:
    * Resource management (iOS 5 takes up more space on your phone)
    * Loss of iPod icon, now split into Videos and Music
    * If you have a Bose Sound-dock, some report it no longer works
    * Battery is very hit or miss. No major degregation on my iPhone, but I have noticed it.
    If you are on the brink, use TinyUmbrella and make SHSH blobs of your iOS version. Then you can swap (downgrade) iOS versions. Note that it isn't supported by Apple and you'll need help elsewhere to do this.
    (I am a fan of exploits, so the average user need not worry about the above)
    I updated to iOS 5 because of Reminders, Weather, and iMessage. Probably the best reasons to update.

  • Is there any reason I shouldn't work this way?

    Given the lack of batch capture in FCE is there any reason why I shouldn't work in the following way:
    1. Import video in large chunks using capture now
    2. Use DV start stop and Make sub-clip
    3. Export just the sub-clips I want as self-contained movies
    4. Close the project and delete the original capture files and the FCE project file
    5. Start a new project and import the movies I saved in step 3.
    My reasons for wanting to do this are mainly to save disc space but also to reduce clutter in the bins. So far as I can see this works fine. The only downsides I can see are:
    1. The extra time it takes but this is offset against the chore of capturing individual clips instead of using capture now.
    2. The fact that reimported clips have their audio tracks set to mono mix but it seems easy enough to correct this. (As an aside, if I import a .mov file saved from Quicktime it imports into FCE with the audio set to stereo - why the difference?).
    I'd be happy enough working this way, I think, provided I could be confident that I'm not going to lose quality by saving and then re-importing. Will I? Are there any other downsides I've not thought of?

    You shouldn't lose any quality in the audio or video, but you may lose the timecode track. I'm not sure if you'll lose it, but if you do, you won't be able to recapture the project clips from the original tape because the timecode would be required. This isn't an issue, if you don't ever need to recapture. The timecode may even be retained... I'd have to do an export to see. As a matter of workflow, you may want to think seriously about keeping the timecode, because you can back-up your project file and have some assurance that you can recover from a chatastrophic failure simply by restoring the project file and recapturing from the original tape.
    Regarding your audio and video; unless you were to add effects to the video, there should be no loss in exporting and importing. Losses in DV are incurred when you add filters (alter the image) and recompress. The audio is uncompressed PCM, so no losses to be had there, unless you change the sampling rate.

  • Is there any way to forse user to put at least 5 characters when using LOV?

    Hi gurus,
    I have a question.
    Is there any way to force user to put at least 5 characters when using LOV?
    I want user to put at least 4 characters before/when using LOV.
    Is there any way to do that?
    Thank you for your answers.
    Nerijus

    Hello,
    i've tested it both on 6i and 10g and also set the lov name at runtime.
    All i can say is, it does what it is supposed to do.
    So you should give it one more try:
    - leave the item properties NULL ( LOV name ) and NO ( Validate_From_List )
    - add following code in the WVI - Trigger
    IF :AUFTRAG_NEU.PN IS NOT NULL AND LENGTH ( :AUFTRAG_NEU.PN ) < 5 THEN
      Show_Message ( 'Bitte 5 Zeichen eingeben' );
      RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
    ELSIF :AUFTRAG_NEU.PN IS NULL THEN
      NULL;
    ELSE
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ( 'AUFTRAG_NEU.PN', LOV_NAME, 'LOV_PN_PROJEKT' );
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ( 'AUFTRAG_NEU.PN', VALIDATE_FROM_LIST, PROPERTY_TRUE );
      IF SHOW_LOV THEN
        NULL;
      END IF;
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ( 'AUFTRAG_NEU.PN', VALIDATE_FROM_LIST, PROPERTY_FALSE );
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ( 'AUFTRAG_NEU.PN', LOV_NAME, '' );By the way, what exactly doesn't work?
