These reasons below are enough to upgrade. Nice new feature, and the podcast library is a nice touch. I have been wanting to say where the podcasts go for a long time.
You can also choose which locations should be the defaults for saving content. Also new is a Podcast library for syncing podcasts via Homegroup settings

I'm highly upset with Tariq Elite's podcast response to the "Nightline" piece on single, successful black females.
< insert title here >: SINCE WHEN IS BEING CALLED 'SUCCESSFUL' A DISS?
In response to that I ran off a quick response as well. It is in the comments, but here I get a much better way to respond.
I find the response here really interesting. Not because I hate on people, but I WAS THAT DUDE they wanted. I was that nice guy, I was that person that would try to do what ever was needed; know what kind of play I got for it? Hardly any; I was the "friend" people did not want to loose. Why is that? I was success in school, I was a success out of school, good in sports. Know what it was? 2 thing; Game (you see I was what they call a SIMP) and Money (gangsters and players got all the ladies you see). Simple as that. So when you try to make the points above and some black women try to get outraged, I just laugh cause the psychology and the knowlege Tariq puts out is REAL. Women say they want the fairy tale and the castle, but end up with welfare and the hood. Also to be fair I checked what these ladies would be making (since society will judge success not by what you are trying to get, but what you got) from my research the MAXIMUM for the attorney was 150000. The "Payroll Specialist" was making no mare than about $18 an hour. This is not what society would call success. They call that a cool job. Not a success. Youngsta brought out some points as well. When you are working "FOR" somebody you are emplyed at their will. But when you are employed by you then you are your work.
Then to a point made earlier:
"Finally (as I told J.salty already), I HATE that he calls us the opposite of loyal. What do you call yourself right now? Furthermore, being independent is the opposite of DEPENDENT, which means I GOT MY OWN WITHOUT YOU, STOP HATIN MR. "BEST-SELLER" cuz you ain't providin. There. Said it. You're jealous because your success is fleeting and their's is here to stay, it's on paper. "
The problem with your statement is that if you were SO independent, would you be even looking to be married? If you are SO independent would you feel the need to be-little what black men are out there and trying to do? He is saying in the podcast to wake up and understand all the subtlities of the Game and how it works. You may have paid your bills but you still feel the need for a man so stop with the INDEPENDENT stuff and realize that you have to adjust your thinking if you are truly looking to be that COMPANION to someone. An independent person only has to be loyal to themselves, ant THAT is his point. The INDEPENDENT black woman has no loyalty to the black man.
And one more thing:
"And for once, they weren't equating blacks with poverty and lack of intelligence, but quite the opposite. You should be proud to be represented that way, that this is your people."
Funny but you saw 1 black man on the show, Steve Harvey. But any other scene of black men were in jail, were without jobs, were not even interviewed. Did you wonder why was that? Why not get "average" or "successful" black men on the show? Why not ASK THEM?
Go back and LISTEN one more time to really pull apart what he is saying. Then listen to the older show to understand even more. At the CORE Tariq is right. You may not LIKE how he says it, but he is right.

Real talk check out this response. I like this and it is something that points to the heart of the matter in many ways. Steve Harvey does make some good points as well, but below is the REAL RAW talk.

A great piece of history going away.
Langley decommissioned the tunnel in 1995, and then leased it to Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., for research and student engineering training. That lease was up this summer and the tunnel is scheduled for demolition because of its lack of national strategic importance, limited testing capability, deteriorating condition and the environmental liability associated with the materials used in its construction.

Technically this blog entry is right, HOWEVER if you use that same account to administrate the farm, it needs to be admin on the servers in order to extend a Web Application. Certain services and operations require admin rights as a comment mentioned not seeing. If you don’t have an account with those privileges then you won’t be able to manage the services or IIS sites (not to mention the two other issues in the snippet below). To save headaches people just usually make that account admin. For the tightest security you would follow the guidance below. However if you make the account admin does not mean that the install is inherently insecure either.
Easily the most irritating element of mis-configuration in a SharePoint 2007 farm is the assignment of local admin privileges (for each box in the farm) to the account used for connections to the configuration database and as the identity of the application pool hosting Central Administration (commonly referred to as the 'farm account'.
THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT!! THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT!!
Your farm account can be a regular domain user, no special requirements at all. The SharePoint Configuration Wizard will assign ALL the required privileges automatically (which the exception of DCOM activation as detailed here, and the issue with %windir%\Tasks).
NO! Your SharePoint Farm Account does NOT need local admin privileges. So don't give it them!

Now THIS is the way you load a SharePoint library into PowerShell.
LoadWithPartialName is dead!!! Yea!!!
#load Microsoft.SharePoint.dll
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("$12HivesDir\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.dll")

This is a cool way to wait for an application to complete before continuing. This is a core .NET thing so it will not only work for PowerShell but it will also work for C# and VB too.
