3. Comment - Microsoft's Top 3 advances in Exchange Server 2010

   1.5.1 Beta Build 453 (Nov 20, 2009 - 12:11 PM)

   I have a hard time buying into the "big, slow" disks as the disk of choice. At least with our environment, virtualization has been the cost cutter. To really have a high performance / highly available virtualized environment, you need - fast and - centralized storage. Big, slow disks aren't going to do that, and I can't see buying these devices as cost effective or administratively beneficial. SAN costs are coming down too, so as far as being "cost prohibitive" - it's all in where your business chooses to save.
   
   Don't get me wrong, I'm not down playing the cost of storage. It's always a cost measured monetarily and as overhead.

   The lower the "default" or "suggested" spec, the better, IMO.
   
   Yeah that's great for the consumer, not for M$. So I'm kinda with you there. As for not being able to realistically afford...It's all about the target market. For example, Apple's market isn't the netbook, so it's "suggested" platform is at a much higher price point for that very "realistic" market. Also, a couple of years ago when netbooks did not exist - could you realistically afford the suggested platform, i.e., the notebook?

   I just installed 9.10 on my MSI U123 netbook. I didn't want to go with the remix... The U123 can handle a full distro. Albeit a quick experience, I've had some issues. Particularly the brightness on the netbook. When I boot up and arrive at the login screen, the brightness toggles from less bright to more bright (like you're hitting the function key to change it) about every second. When I close the lid and open it back up, the problem dissapears. I wouldn't think this is by design but I've got to look into it.

   You might like Arch If you get it installed correctly. It's a fun little project.
