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.

No it would be EoL for Office 2007 SP3 (IE if 2007 EoL was 2017) and they just came out with SP3, the product will lose support at 2017.

But how do you know what that is? EOL for Office 2007?
I found it otherwise, but their text makes no sense.

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
Found this online ... maybe it is still OK?
"Office 2007 will now exit mainstream support in October 2012, and fall off the support list for good in October 2017."

Just like the rest of their text... lol
EoL for 2007 is "when we decide we're tired of it"

Some think that the full moon makes folks crazy, but I've had more problems (exclusively with women) today under the new moon... so that theory is debunked. Women are crazy all the time.

Uhh... nope. That's like walking in and saying "I have herpes, where can I stick this?"

Last night I attempted to create a Plex VM using Samba to move files from my windows machine to my CentOS (Plex) server. I could only read, not write. Going home soon to try to figure out why. I believe I set up the permissions correctly, but maybe I have to go back through it.

Just out of curiosity, for Plex, why do they need to do more than read? If you're streaming the files from the share, all they need is the ability to READ those shares, not write to them, as a rule...

Isn't Plex caching thumbnails etc? Not sure, but it could try to store them next to the media.

It's been over a year since I really played with Plex, or just about a year, but I believe there is a system directory for Plex it stores all those in...
