Microsoft makes big announcement- audience falls asleep

Isn't there an adapter to connect to USB? Or is it an adapter to connect to an adapter to USB?

I've got to give this one to Micro$oft. Having direct, standard ports is nice. Very nice.

There is USB to Ethernet for the Macbook Air, but not for the iPad.

not my daily needs. can't connect up a USB serial adapter and i haven't seen a USB to Ethernet adapter either. my needs are atypical and I'm acutely cognizant of that fact.

Trust me I am not a typical user either and it still is fine. For support I don't normally find myself needing USB or Ethernet any longer.

And if I do need those there is always the laptop or desktop...

Sorry to hear that you are still dependent on that. I have not been dependent on those for years while setting up new servers. I can't tell you the last time I have touched a physical CD or USB connection for a server setup. It has to be at least the last 6 years at a minimum.

Why would you need a separate computer to set up a server out of the box?

you need something for initial configuration.

hint: setting up an out of band manager via browser requires a computer to run that browser session.

you guys are ignoring that the computer running the out of band setup is a computer setting up a computer.

It does? I guess you can consider an iPad a computer in general to make your statement true. For prime example you can configure an HP server with the browser on the iPad or even use the APP they have out there to remote control it. There are many ways to remotely configure many different hardware platforms without having a real computer or even a virtual session to use.

Not ignoring anything as there are many different types of servers that don't need a computer to configure it for out of band communications.
