Small note when the question of the day comes through in the newsletter email all I see is:

"For SQL Server 2012 on a stand alone server, Microsoft recommends using domain user accounts as the owner of the various SQL Server services over Managed Service Accounts or Virtual Accounts."

That is not a question that is a statement.

Without visiting the site to answer I have no idea what the question was.

Perhaps better to phrase as: Is the following statement true or false? ....
