@elmer: I tried on two machines and in both didn't work, even the Paste command in the context menu was disabled, weird.

@Jim Young:Yep, my bad.

I stand corrected, i tested on Win7 and it works, I don't know how I never noticed (also tested on XP, it doesn't work).

• Search
• Copy/Pasting Files using the RDP Client (Desktop) without sharing a drive.

I don't understand why everyone is implying that you have to use touch to access the server, I'm using Windows 8 Enterprise and using the Desktop RDP client and everything works great (I'm not touching any Metro apps if I can avoid them), on the server I only use the start screen to search and everything else is on the Tools menu on the dashboard.

I'm having a love/hate relationship with Win8 but being able to transfer files directly from my machine to the server using the RDP Client is the reason I'm not going back to Win7.

@ZippyV:i actually like the new server 2012 dashboard, everything i need is two clicks away

@Charles Frankly, for me as a LOB Developer I fell Microsoft does not care about the Enterprise anymore.

I understand the need to attract more developers with JavaScript but personally I don't care about that, I care about the missing setup projects in VS2012, that there is no ISO's to download the software updates (the layout switch is laughable where there are connection issues) , that WebPI is in version 4 and the offline story is a joke, that making TFS and Nuget work together offline is a hassle.

You get the idea, where are a Gov agency where all our servers are behind a firewall with no Internet connection, every time it gets a little harder to try the new shiny things.

tldr: I feel that Ms is giving me the middle finger while is trying to get more people to build Metro Apps.

@Sven Groot: I pay $45 for 5Mbps down (yes, 5, don't rub it more) in Mexico, yo have no idea how much I hate you all when you talk about your download speeds.

@GoddersUK:lol thanks, we have 4 now, those little bastards are adorable.

@ZippyV:crap, thanks. I guess is reinstall time for me.
