That is the perfect price range for me. Are you able to get Aero Glass to work with it?


Yep, glass works fine.

I moved to a D620 from another make last week and there's no way I'm going back. It's fast, good battery life, light - and all devices work right out of the box, no need to download drivers.

Anyone have a "good" resource for which applications will be unusable to users running in the user group (non-admin, non-power user)?  I have seen that some default apps in XP will not run; such as writing files to a CD using the default XP methods.  Will windows update work as a non-admin, non-power user?

Thanks


Aaron's blog is a great resource - http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/

Microsoft can never be like Google, they've got different corporate interests. Microsoft is headed too much by their shareholders, whereas with Google Larry and Page both have loads of control over the company and at least try to "Do No Evil".

It's their contrasing "corporate philosophies", just having a load of developer/technical blogs doesn't make a company any less evil, just more open, and being open is just one part of not being evil.


Both companies are publicly listed. What evidence do you have that GOOG shareholders have less/more clout than MSFT shareholders?

A philosophy is just that. It doesn't necessarily result in a tangible entity. As for corporate interests - what exactly do you define as the corporate interests of MSFT & GOOG? They ultimately are pretty much the same IMO.

Because the MS VPN client is rather limited. It doesn't support certificates as authentication, or SecureID or any of the other myriad of tokens out there. It only does PPTP and IPSEC L2PTP (and the IPSec setup is preshared key, and used to be a royal pain to setup).


The OS out of the box client certainly supports certificates - I vpn'd into work this evening using 2 factor auth; username/password plus smartcard w/certificate and PIN. This has been in place from w2k. SecureId isn't really a vpn client, it is an add-on which sits on top of real vpn clients. IAS/RADIUS integrates with this from a wintel perspective.

As for why install another vpn client - I have worked with a few dozen different companies deploying remote access solutions. All but a small few had 2 factor auth, certificates, or alternate protocols. This is not generally the rationale behind having another client installed. It is (in my experience) a decision driven by the people who own the 'edge', typically the network support guys. They use Cisco all the time, so to them it is a default choice to use a Cisco client. At the end of the day, vpn clients are all very very similar now - there is little to differentiate them from a feature perspective. The decision is based on vendor relationship and support options.
