Hi Preet, it is fine, for last two weeks I'm running server 2012 (with AD, IIS, SQL 2012 DEV and Visual Studio 2012) on my laptop (Core I5, 120G SSD + 8GB RAM) and the speed is reasonable. Just get used to the new start menu :)

Does windows server 2012 still have this facility or is it not worth the bother any more. Most of dev is done on 16Bg + i7 + 2 x Raid 0 SSDs so it's got hunks of power. -- regards, Preet, Overlooking the Ocean, Auckland
