They've taken away more and more granular controls when it comes to Windows Updates over time. Even the Windows Update group policies for Windows 7 had more control than what you get with the latest Win10/11 ADMX Templates. Not sure how technology is getting better but features are actually regressing. Very frustrating.

Winget. 🎉

How old is each of the "Roles & Features" in Windows Server 2025, when was the last time they got updated? eg: DNS Server, DHCP Server, etc...

Wonder if intune will stop nonsense we saw recently like servers auto upgrading.

👍 thank you! Great summary

SMB over QUIC is a game changer for fileservers. No need for VPN to access your files when out of office.

Yes, people should upgrade. To Linux :))

server 2025 is the best W11 for your laptop, there is a git repo that will install the msstore as well

This was a very informative video. Thank you so much for putting this together! I will be trying Server 2025 in my Hyper-v lab and then maybe start trying it out in Azure with some of my customers. I also plan to try Purple Night. Great job 😎

And when your in-place upgrade fails, you have no way to recover. Always always migrate in a controlled way so you have a fall back plan

13:52 there are no big new features?What in the world are you talking about? Windows Autopatch and AD becoming NUMA-aware are just two of the significant enhancements in Server 25.

Nice to see the steady growth in subscribers 🙂 thanks for the content as always

Thanks for watching! Will you upgrade to Windows Server 2025?

Not a fan of slack.... unsuscribing

Threaded conversations are already here in channels with a pretty nice UI that's easy to follow, and Slack's UI for this is beyond terrible. Would be awful for this to be applied to channel conversations or even Chats in Teams.

Panther lake ditch mop design so what will happen to the power efficiency

About bloody time. The context switch is atrocious. I've preferred slack for years due to how easy it is to keep things just enough separated but not in an intrusive way like teams.

Teams is just easier to use especially with other 365 products... Slack is just discord if it was created by a 5 year old

This could have been a two minutes video

Why do you prefer to hold the mic rather than use a mic stand ?

Microsoft needs to bring Topics into Teams native. Tagging things without needing to associate it at with a person is crucial.

I definitely prefer Teams. As a sysadmin it just seamlessly works with all the other Microsoft 365 apps.

Thanks for watching! Do you prefer Microsoft Teams or Slack?

Intel & AMD need more improvement. Intel Price is also too much for this spec 👎 Mac M4 is rocking the field with Les Cost. Can buy a Mac mini M4 at a VGA cost.

My biggest concern is Tasks. Will it be around through 2029 as well?

WSUS is free and serves a function, if you you manage a large(ish) server estate, as an update cache and can allow you to manage the role out of updates. It isn't perfect and has suffered from zero real development over the last 10 years. All other options (SCCM, Intune, Arc etc) have a cost which can be quite steep. SCCM and Intune are more targeted at client systems not servers. Arc requires Azure licencing. You can just stop using it and go direct to MS but you would need to give your servers access to the internet.

The worst thing about these comparisons is that OS called Windows and its spyware genes. The user and the data on the computer are becoming the product. Much better to quit and move to Linux.

Lunar Lake has flaws but X Elite is much worse, Intel has no compatibility problem but X Elite still has a distance to go. Most consumers don’t want to face unpredictable problems, even X Elite may works 90% similar to x86, the 10% gap is a big deal.

Not all platforms, the windows app isn’t available yet for Linux

I think most of the reviewers are doing wrong comparison of Lunar Lake performance comparison with H series processors from Intel's previous generation. These should better be compared with U or P series processors. H series of processors from Intel have yet to arrive.

absolutely love my lunar lake chip, it's soo efficient

I had a Surface Pro 11 (replacing my very old Surface Pro 3, I moved to Apple after it), but traded it in for a 15" Surface Laptop 7, because I like to work with a Laptop on my lap. I got a new PC, because Windows 11 on the M-series Mac is castrated (M-series does not yet support nested hypervisors). The Snapdragon X Elite is nice in performance and battery-life. But a) it does not support Lightroom classic (Adobe prohibits you from installing it), and does not support Nikon Z8/Z9 compressed RAW (the algorithm for it does not run on ARM), b) it does not support GPU/NPU for generic AI-tasks (llama.cpp, ollama, LM-studio), even though its very fast on the CPU with the llama.cpp ARM Q4_0_4_8 quantization (approx. as fast as a 10-GPU M2 chip). Then I also had some very weird display-driver isssues, resume fom standby did not work. I could solve it by re-installing (!!!). Overall my Surface Laoptop is a nice office machine, but not useable for photography or AI. I will upgrade my M2 MacBook Air to an M4 (as soon as it gets available), and with this, I should be also able to run non-castrated Windows 11 (doe to nested hypervisor support in Sequoia on M3+). Then I will probably sell my Surface Laptop 7. Windows 11 with AI has been a bit of a disppointment, and the Copilot+PC only uses its special hardware for very limited tasks - while it does not run generic AI like llama.cpp based inference - well.

buying overpriced Qualcomm is like Russian roulette with software - you never know if program you want you use will work

Intune is not a solution that can be used in controlled, high security environments. So whether Microsoft likes it or not, a replacement for wsus will be necessary eventually, or people will simply replace Microsoft in those environments - many of which are large government or manufacturing environments.

Qualcomm? Say quiver three times fast :-)

These Qualcomm people claim great stats but in practice it was shown they fall far short. Intel is a old relaiable company that keeps the world running - never perfect but damn good.. I will stick to Intel.

Thanks for watching! Have you had any experience with Lunar Lake and/or Snapdragon X Elite devices? Let me know in the comments below.

Microsoft and their shenanigans forced me to switch to Linux. Been learning the command line on and off for the last 8 months. During the initial learning curve when Linux would frustrate me I would curse Microsoft for what they are, but I'm glad I stuck it out to get to where I am now. It took far LESS time than I thought it would to get a stable system with desktop Linux, let alone for my computer to run like a Mac....screw Microsoft and their garbage OS. Screw Apple and their overpriced Linux ripoff OS (I know, I know, it's more or less BSD under the hood, still, getting my Linux machine to run like a Mac makes me think that and I had several Macs back in the early days of OSX/Power PC and Intel). My Steam library (all 4tb of it) runs BETTER in Linux than it had a hope of running in Windows 11.

I subscribed

More Microsoft malware...

Copilot is the biggest junk marketing exercise to sell software and pc’s in a short while.

Intune, as of writing this comment, does not fully support windows servers. M$ Intune support said it's on the road map, but no official support date.

What is the point of a pass key? I DO NOT need one.

To sum things up, you focused more on Copilot 365, so is it possible to conclude that everything that is on pro is also on 365? Another thing, you did not mention that there is a month of free trial in my pro and that on the 365 the payment is annual without a trial period. Any how Thanks for the video From Israel followers

asking to subscribe before we see any content I think doesn't work. First just present the show, as it just causes us to skip your request, because everyone is asking. It has now become "the ad" we skip on all videos.

I can’t stand Microsoft.

you sound like a corporate shill

Linux here we come!

I thought one of the arguments for passkeys was it being bound to a specific device. If you change this to support multi-device support, doesn't that make this a less secure feature?

I have the SFC bug with 24h2
