The Home Server Show Podcast : Server 2012 Essentials and Hyper-V at Home

Sat, 17 May 2014 14:10:25 +0000

Thanks for your feedback Susan. I have yet to listen back but I apologize if it seemed messy to you. I didn't realize I fumbled it. Honestly, it is messy. In my situation, Essentials Role is running on Server 2012 R2. I also run the Hyper-V role but by your comments you already realize that Hyper-V runs on Server 2012. You can in fact run Hyper-V on Essentials if that is what you are asking. I thought it was clear in my questioning to Drashna that you can do that. His answer was very concise in what you can run inside that VM. I also thought it was clear that you could run other VM's on Essentials outside of it's licensing agreement. Thanks for listening regardless. I'll mention it in the next show. Dave

I completely left this out of the latest show. I plugged the drive in and wouldn't mount on Win or Mac. I don't have any other flavors to test it with.

I tried it and it went to PayPal with the discount applie. BUT, I have been in and out of testing it for several days. Try it again and let me know. Also, choose credit card and fill in your info then hit next to go to the coupon entry page. Enter the coupon and then start a new tab and choose paypal. Maybe that will work. Let me know though.

Monte Carlo was real good about cancelling my room and refunding everything. Now that it's all said and done I'm kinda glad I have all that extra cash back in my wallet. It's an expensive trip.

What would you use that has a tripod case, a built in video mixer, LTE, and can post video to YouTube, Facebook, G+, and tweet it at the same time?

Yup, by design. That was my directive to not be so OBVIOUS and to put some thought into the gift list. We all recommend the Surface 2 day in and day out. It would have been a boring show had we just said Surface 2 and wrapped it up. Come on... Now, run to the store and find me one! Dave

Surface Geeks : Surface 2 - A Personal Experience Review

Mon, 28 Oct 2013 22:04:40 +0000

Great writeup John. It sounds like you got a bad device or it had a software issue somewhere. Maybe a 8.1 refresh would have worked, maybe not. Regardless, that's not the experience Microsoft want's someone off the street to have. Surface 2 still has merit in many different situations for work and for play. It's such a young platform and hopefully will be growing up....soon.

That's interesting. I won't say it's crazy because I think all these different cloud options appeal to everyone differently. There is not one that is perfect for everyone. I can say that yours is not for me.
