BALLMER TO RETIRE FROM MICROSOFT

Cave Homme

Time to bring back Stephen Elop from Nokia?

That's either sarcasm or you live in another universe?

Re: Thanks, I was trying to think of a suitable replacement

After ruining Nokia Elop will ruin MS completely.

Thumb Up

Indeed, and "Microsoft shares are already up nearly 9 per cent " says it all really.

Flash! Ah-ahh! Saviour of the universe? It'll save every one of us?

Best upgrade...

...that I ever made was to replace my 3 year old laptop hard drive with a Crucial 256Gb SSD. The words sh1t and shovel come to mind.

I think that in 3 to 5 years SSD will replace disks on NAS as well in terms of affordability, however, rapid access is not as important on a NAS as it is on a laptop / desktop of course.

My biggest worry with spinning disks on a hard drive is reliability and file errors and every few months having to do a scandisk /f and crossing my fingers hoping for the best.
