One of the cooler tools made available to us is Microsoft System Center, which allows for a single application to manage a huge variety of tasks, including pushing updates to users, working with virtual servers, and inst…

At work, we use Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The client software requires Windows authentication to connect to a database. However, the credentials are pulled from your logged in Windows account.

I still primarily use Windows 10. I've used Windows 11 and have been disappointed with it to the degree that I don't run it on any of my own machines.
I'll keep using Windows 10 as long as I can. I do a lot of hobby work in graphic design and CAD, and the software I use is, unfortunately, unavailable on Linux.windows index - General Windows Tipsplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigGeneral Windows Tips

I'm an equal opportunity OS user - I use and am familiar with Windows, OS X (and MacOS), and Linux.
I haven't really used any version of MacOS since Mojave, because I still use 32-bit Mac applications. I use numerous Windows products, although I haven't yet subjected myself to the abomination that is Windows 11. I run servers on both os index
