Windows Server 8 Deduplication

The new deduplication in Windows Server 8 looks awesome, and it just might be the "killer app" for many business to start using Windows Server 8.

 The feature will make it possible for companies or servers that don't use SAN/NAS with deduplication to save disk space, alot if disk space.

Windows 8 Seminar in Bergen

Tuesday 20 March I will be holding an Windows 8 seminar for Mtug (www.mtug.no) Bergen.
I am going through what I consider to be the most important things that come in Windows 8 on both server and client side for enterprise usage.
It is a variant of the lecture I gave at NIC in January and UTmessan, Iceland in February, but more informal.

 Lecture will be given in Norwegian andIt will be held at EDB Ergogroup's offices at Bryggen 3-5, Bergen (Norway)  and as with all Mtug talks it's free.
Currently there are vacancies, but it's just posted so it might fill up fast.

Mtug is free to join and no obligations, just fun and Microsoft technology

Windows Server 8 Beta, how to get started testing it out

The Windows Server 8 Beta are available for download and testing. Downloading it from here and installing it are no problem, but what to do when you have installed it might be harder to know.

There will always be clear visual differences you might want to check out, but sooner or later you just don't know what to test out or how to acctualy test it out.

Or maybe you just want a better structured lab.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview are out

Windows logo returns as a... Window

Just read the blog post of the Windows team here and I think the new logo (if it will be the selected design in the end) shows the changes in Windows 8.

It's easy to think that Windows 8 will be Windows 7 part 2 or Vista part 3. But it will soon be clear that this will be a change just as big or bigger than XP to Vista.

The comment why do you use a flag when it's called Windows.

Great idea with the new logo, but hopefully there will be some designers that will add some "bling" to it.

If you want to creat your own Windows 8 To Go you can ready my blog post about how to do it here
