You can switch back and forth.  That aside, there are some quirks with Windows 8 (like the switching back and forth) that makes it unattractive to me.There were also some software compatibility issues and driver issues that I have seen.I have no desire to use the swipe or touch for a work laptop and to make this OS work well you need touch.[/quote]I don't find I have to switch back and forth much.   Of course I'm happy to use windows+R to run things rather than hunt through a menu (whether the windows 8 start screen or the older text menus) and I have things I use a lot pinned to taskbar anyway.I don't want to use touch either, but the OS works just fine for me with a mouse.  In fact I hate tracker balls and the touch pads that almost all laptops incorporate as much as I hate touch screens - although I can work with any of them (including touch screens) I avoid them in favour of using a mouse whenever possible (a mouse is kind of hard when the laptop is on my lap, so it's not always possible).</description><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 15:10:23 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>L' Eomot Inversé</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic604325-61-1.aspx</link><description>[quote][b]jasona.work (5/17/2013)[/b][hr][quote][b]Lynn Pettis (5/17/2013)[/b][hr][quote][b]Lynn Pettis (5/17/2013)[/b][hr]And we have another winner:[quote]After the date was changed to 2032 , scheduled jobs did run no issues.

Please?[/quote]Not a big web user eh? Its not like people haven't been discussing this to death.[/quote]I'm not really sure how I should react to that.  People have indeed been discussing it to death.  It appears to me to have been a discussion with much heat, little light, and far too much blind resistance to change. I suspect that having first played with computers in the early 60s and having worked with them since the mid-60s that I've both seen rather more changes in software (and hardware, of course) than most of the people participating in the discussion and have a lot more chance of distinguishing bad change from good change.  That's the polite reaction to your arrogant and ignorant condescension, I won't treat you to the alternative version.[quote].....I think you can dismiss the significant proportion of detractors however you like, but you'll have a hard time convincing me that there aren't real issues with this release.[/quote]There probably are some real issues, but not enough to justify the volume of vituperation of windows 8 that is being spouted out there.  When was the last time MS (or IBM, or Apple, or Adobe, or anyone else in the software business) made a big release that had absolutely no real issues?</description><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 10:39:29 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>L' Eomot Inversé</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic604325-61-1.aspx</link><description>[quote][b]Lynn Pettis (5/17/2013)[/b][hr]Is that from the same person who thinks that NOLOCK makes queries run faster?[/quote]Which one of them?</description><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 09:27:28 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>GilaMonster</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic604325-61-1.aspx</link><description>[quote][b]Lynn Pettis (5/17/2013)[/b][hr][quote][b]GilaMonster (5/17/2013)[/b][hr]"I know the drawbacks of nolock, in our case it cannot be avoided"Hmm...[/quote]Hmm, recall seeing that somewhere before....Is that from the same person who thinks that NOLOCK makes queries run faster?[/quote]You're going to have to be more specific.

Didn't you know the ARID in SQL Server is broken?The SQL Server team at Microsoft attempted to update the DBCC Timewarp Paradox constraint in this latest round of updates, but forgot to check their math. They copied-n-pasted cells from Excel that were hidden (but should have been deleted) which caused [url=http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/15/us/nasa-kepler]Kepler to go into safe mode[/url]. Now the whole equation is kibbits and ARID is giving results based off alternating Stardates.There's like a whole future KB article about it that I can't link to because the Paradox constraint is still busted.[/quote]Under certain conditions, the built-in ARID methods can get stuck in infinite loops, causing the spacetime engine to spin off a steady stream of branched ARs until an out-of-range error for the ARID value terminates the batch. Unfortunately, to fix this, you have to track down the affected SQL Server instance in ALL AR branches and apply a hotfix at the moment each branch was created. This requires you to execute DBCC TIMEWARP from an instance of SQL Server 2005 (the last version not affected by this bug). If you don't have a 2005 instance handy, you can attempt the undocumented Bill and Ted method of creating one: "Remember to provision and install a SQL Server 2005 instance."</description><pubDate>Thu, 16 May 2013 13:20:36 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>wolfkillj</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic604325-61-1.aspx</link><description>[quote][b]Lynn Pettis (5/16/2013)[/b][hr][quote][b]SQLRNNR (5/16/2013)[/b][hr][quote][b]Brandie Tarvin (5/16/2013)[/b][hr][quote][b]Lynn Pettis (5/16/2013)[/b][hr]Oops, I just replied on a thread started by someone who has asked me NOT to that.
