The day has come and Microsoft has released Windows 8 to great fanfare as you can see below:

On Friday while I was preparing our new Exchange 2010 VM for coexistance with our current Exchange 2007 physical box (more on that later) I ran into a annoying snag.

Any any Windows domain environment one of the most overlooked but ultimately crippling when things are wrong component is time.

There will certainly be a few people out there who are either doing it already or investigating upgrading their Virtual Machine host from 2008 R2 with Hyper V (or Hyper V Server R2) to Server 2012 with Hyper V (or Hyper V Server 2012).

So you’re one of the lucky people (Technet, MSDN etc…) to have early access to Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012.

As of yesterday I am now a Microsoft Certified Professional (Technology Specialist: Windows 7, Configuration for those keeping score at home).

A common occurrence I find is that svchost.

One of the best things Microsoft did when Vista came about is to make all their different SKUs available on the one disc/ISO.

Windows 7 is arguably one of the best operating systems Microsoft have put out in their history in the game.

I don’t usually get excited by xkcd web comics but I thought this one was particularly appropriate (thanks Anthony Burke)
