Worth Reading: Learning from email breaches

It isn’t at all uncommon for people to share colorful thoughts about superiors, co-workers, subordinates and customers over email. But think for a moment: What business benefit does this add? Email is auditable. Having done some audits, I know there’s a lot of stuff people feel free to share on company email that can, and does, get them fired. —IT Business Edge

Windows 10 finishes first year on 1-in-4 Windows PCs

Windows 10 wrapped up its first year powering nearly one-in-four Windows PCs, a record adoption pace fueled by the now-expired free upgrade for consumers and many businesses.According to U.S. analytics vendor Net Applications, Windows 10 was on 21.1% of the planet's personal computers in July, and on 23.5% of those machines running Windows. The difference between its user share of all PCs and only those running Windows stemmed from the fact that Windows powered 90% of all personal computers, not 100%.The July increase of about 2 percentage points was larger than June's gains but fell short of May's; the latter was the largest one-month growth since August 2015, the first full month of availability.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Office 365 training courses to increase your expertise

Microsoft's Office 365 subscription service makes the company's most popular apps and business tools available via the cloud, which means the features change often. Office 365 users, including beginners and veteran IT professionals, have a wide range of options for related training tools, depending on their needs and levels of expertise. Many free, basic training classes are available to teach the ins and outs of Office 365, but IT professionals will likely benefit more from intensive, and sometimes costly, seminars that can help prepare for formal tech support certification.Many IT pros, for example, must pass Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) exams to qualify as cloud applications administrators focused on managing Office 365. Microsoft's Office 365 suite constantly changes as the company introduces new versions of apps, and Microsoft updates the MCSA exams accordingly.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Layer 2 Routing—Haven’t we been here before?

We often think the entire Internet, as we know it, just popped out of “thin air,” somehow complete and whole, with all the pieces in place. In reality, there have been many side roads taken, and many attempts to solve the problem of pushing the maximum amount of data across a wire along the way. One of these ways came to mind this last week, when I ran across this story—

Also on the virtualisation list is the customer premises equipment (CPE), and this deserves a little explanation. Obviously every premises needs some sort of physical connection to the network providing the services. What CPE virtualisation refers to is making the CPE as generic as possible. —The Register

Pulling layer 2 into the network to centralize the edge—where have I heard this before? Maybe it was all those years ago, when I was in TAC, and we used to support Cisco 1001’s, or the LEX—LAN Extenders.
