We will be making further changes tonight. The white is a bit too stark!

Office 2013 is slower. It just is. You have moved from a Windows native app to a web app. They don't tell you this anywhere but look closely. Office 2013 is actually running in a frameless browser.

Are you sure on that? I just took a stroll through my office directory and found all the appropriate DLL files and such that would go along with a regular program. Outlook still has all the native quirks, features, and errors that wouldn't be part of a web app.

The interface is running in the browser. It still has some hooks because lots of stuff needs the DLLs. But the part that you see is all in a frameless browser. Lots of applications run this way, it is a lot of Microsoft's vision for the future and makes sense for portability and hostability.

I assume that there is no means of using DA with Macs, for example?

Not at present. You can, however, use the same RAS servers for VPN. Perhaps if/when Macs gain more traction in the mainstream business market, we'll see that shift.

To be devil's advocate, it was ONLY one napkin. 😼

Ha.. but he only ordered food for one person.

I think I'll sue Runza - I ordered two salads and two drinks - and got only one napkin... hmmm...

We use an international blocking trunk provider. It's great peace of mind.

That will get you, it got me back in the day. lol

I'm trying to impress my boss with Windows 8

Good luck - I'm not sure I'm impressed too much. As far as Metro apps go, there's a number of little widgets in there for things like news and weather that constantly update themselves, along with a Reader app. Just wondered if anyone was able to integrate any of them into their productivity routine.

Yeah, one.

A zip != an ISO. 🙂

Yeah, yeah. 🙂 I think the mention of the ISO tab was a mistake, since I don't have an ISO tab. Just Product Downloads tab.

Mine specifically says Custom ISO - that's why I had the hang up (and the lack of reading)

No when a person deletes their own things it also becomes grayed out. The development team will need to work on a way that we can differentiate between the two at some point.

Not urgent

I was trying to find a thread and the search game the exact post I was looking for but I wanted to look at the thread to get context...

Email [email protected] with Feature Request as the subject line. @addie

It is on www.scottalanmiller.com/linux

Don't have the exact link where I am at the moment.

There's a TON of good content in there.

Thanks!

I'm also setting this up inside an ESXi VM.. do I need to install VM tools?

Yes

@Jason said:

We have a couple of sharepoint sites, It really doesn't get a ton of use though.

I feel that we get far less use when it looks nice because it is then harder to use. It's the easier, uglier tools that seem to get the love the most.

Having a MediaWiki walkthrough lab project would probably be a good idea.

so you didn't complete the transition to FreePBX, you restored your Mitel VOIP system because you found FreePBX limited and not meeting your need ?
i'm sorry to ask you this question because i didn't well understand your story because my english is not that good so i was confused, did what i understand is correct ??

I left my existing Mitel system in place, and expanded it with more Mitel equipment for my new location.

My plan to just adding more phones to the new location and not installing a new PBX was not the way we installed because the pricing savings of installing a new PBX and bridging it into the old system was less expensive.

@scottalanmiller Correct. Windstream, Patech, Cavelier all the same shiz. and shiz they are.
