The Remote FX will be applied to two distinctly different things in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

1.       The RemoteFX virtual GPU:  A virtualized, 3d-capable vgpu that be used in VDI scenarios and Windows 7 VMs.

2.       The RemoteFX codec:  An encoding method to make the RDP pipeline work better for HD Content.

When we enable “RemoteFX” in MultiPoint Server 2011, it is only doing the RemoteFX codec..

How to apply a official Tango offline update (from 8107 to 8112 to 8773)

Acer M310 – Windows Phone 7.5

I use the Acer M310 about two month, it is pretty good. But there are no compass and gyroscope on this phone.

When I run the Microsoft PhotoSynth, it is not running very well. It seems to be the hardware limitation.

Different between remove mirror and break the mirror in Windows Server 2008 R2

(For your reference only, I only try in a VM one time to do the “remove mirror” and “break mirror”).

Remove mirror will also remove all the data on the designated mirror disk. (Disk A will keep current data, but Disk B will remove all the data and volume)

Break mirror will stop the mirroring of the volume, but it will keep the data in both disk. (Disk A and Disk B which creates two separate and independent volumes containing identical data)

Please do not try the “Remove mirror” or “Break mirror” in your production system unless you have full data backup and well prepare disaster recovery of your system. (Take your own risk)
