    Ms refurbisher program question

    Well you have to go with what Microsofts says and they mention XP Home and Professional but not Media Center. You would have thought they would have mentioned it one way or another. I've got a Dell pc that is a reasonable spec I.e dual core processor and support 4GB of ram

    Looking for Windows refurb help

    Yes it does seem to vary. I'm a refurbisher and the site I get packs from just needed a 2 minute sign up and then they said "you can only use them if you have access to the MS portal" and needed no other info other than payment. They came next day.

    Nice chart YOSC. Most of my calls are in villages so the power line adapters aren't an issue.

    US getting DDos like crazy

    Don't want to side track, maybe we need another thread. I was a senior tech/manager for a company back around 1980(shows my age) and I used to be on all the games. In fact Missile Command was in a shop we had in Leicester Square and I used to have to call in to fix them. I was then a manager in...

    NAS upgrade for bus. needing easy USB backup

    Another for Synology. Raid 1 with 2 WD Reds plus 2 x external usb drives. Whilst you cannot setup rotating drives you can setup to back to both external drives and will back to what is attached so you take one off site. Just did one last week.

    downgrading to Windows 7 options

    Correct, when people tell me they want to upgrade from XP I explain about getting Win 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Win 7 Pro. If you ask for Win7 Pro to be installed you get the Win 8 pro disks as well and a Win 7 Pro restore partition. You can't lose.

    Backup recommendations for small business using NAS

    I agree with the external usb hard drives. Leave the raid 1 and have 2 x usb hard drives. I have this on one site and am just setting up another. The latest person is a home business with 2 pcs and the data is on a Synology nas. My client is going to take one drive offsite when he visits his...
