Also, win7 has some interesting quirks on a heterogeneous domain with mixed server and workstation versions. It's not "perfect" per se, but what is, really?Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-5365505911033542322010-05-13T22:07:32.864-05:002010-05-13T22:07:32.864-05:00Terrific, Noah.
I've just started to set up a...Terrific, Noah.<br /><br />I've just started to set up a pair of Dell/KACE KBoxes at my office for OS deployment and software distribution. First priority was to put 32- and 64-bit Windows 7 images on them and run them out to my half-a-dozen test workstations and notebooks (lay-offs a little over a year ago left me with an abundance of available test machines).<br /><br />I'm optimistic about Win7, although the big test will be when I start rolling out Autodesk Civil 3D and ArcGIS to the test boxes and start running heavy operations on them.<br /><br />Rick: Hang in there, man, I really think the tide is turning and you're going to see things pick up for all of us Bitchasers and Byteheads!BluesCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131717718194330990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-74182833915966552212010-05-11T18:54:16.612-05:002010-05-11T18:54:16.612-05:00Congrats.

I doubt I make it to 20, or even 19 years. So I have been watching your posts carefully. I am glad you have found a good job.

I'm so glad you found something, not just a job but something great. <br /><br />Commuting again will feel good, at least when it's not cold and storming. <br /><br />Incidentally, I have Windows 7 at work now too, and I was all set to hate it, but I agree with you: overall, it is pretty damn nice. Especially after Vista, it's an absolute breath of fresh air.<br /><br />I, too, look forward to more frequent posts from you.Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-89371483091071939012010-05-11T06:44:02.393-05:002010-05-11T06:44:02.393-05:00Great news on the job!
