Contract review with the carrier provider we do not dare speak its name. Unfortunately I'm just the tech input our VP of Carrier Services is actually handling the negotiating part. I have a feeling my documented cases of outages (or is it outrage in this case??) may be enough to get a lower price but not enough to switch.

Bonus point awarded to those who can navigate a GUI without a mouse.
Ugh, I had to do that to the wife's laptop I upgraded to Windows 10.
It never advanced past Vista, and the touchpad was ... uh ... touchy. AKA, not working.
I had to give in and plug in a mouse.
I wouldn't say it's an enjoyable experience to use a GUI without a mouse, but I can do it. win-key makes life so much easier than the old days. Anyone else remember WordPerfect and having to press ctrl+= to get the menus?
I happen to know a lot of NJ state employees are still using word perfect.
If I ever get a job somewhere that people use WP I'm going to burn the place to the ground for the betterment of humanity.

Are you going with the dual boot option, the hyper-v route, or a clean install?

OSSIM from Alienvault? I've run that one a few times. It's great if it does what you need! I found out recently that our networking group has purchased the paid version.

Holy crap, you can post an image into the post box from the clipboard.
Wow, I wasted a lot of time the past 6 months.
I'll have to try that when I get home... Two screens, 24" 1960x1080 and a 32" 2550x1600... wonder how big that would show up as.
ALT+PRNTSCRN just captures the focused window
Good to know. Learning new keyboard shortcuts always makes me happy.
New? Uhm, l think that is available since Windows 3.1. Both Windows 95 and NT had this for sure

Dual boot.

Getting Windows 10 ready to install on the new laptop. Have to do that before Linux is ready to install.

Hopefully I will rarely need it. But I am going to install MS Office 2016 on this, for the first time ever. I've not even seen 2016 yet.

Seemed to work perfectly.
That is good to know!

Hrm, I'm going to have to do something about the one person using MS Office here. Just looked, and we're way past security updates being made available on 2007 versions

Wow, nine years old!

Yeah, I didn't realize it till now. Haven't purchased any new versions of MS Office since I started working here, LibreOffice and/or OpenOffice work for 90% of what people do. That other 10% is normally formatting problems.

For Office 2007 SP3, it says
"Support ends 12 months after the next service pack releases or at the end of the product's support lifecycle, whichever comes first."What does that mean, exactly?

Means if they release a patch for it, the platform is supported for an additional year, unless the lifecycle is past it's EoL. In which case, if they are making a patch, it's unsupported (and you are probably paying a very shiny penny for that patch)

So, that would be 1 year past the EOL for SP2?
SP1 and SP2 both have EOL dates 4 years from the release of the SP.
SP3 has the text I posted.
