<Title>Windows 10 Free Upgrade for Personal Machines Ends July 29th</Title>
<Tagline>Upgrade for free otherwise pay $120 license for home version</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>DoIT would like the UMBC community to know that Microsoft's deadline for a free upgrade to Windows 10 is ending on July 29th, 2016. If you are running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 and do not take advantage of this offer, the upgrade will cost $119 after.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Please note</strong> that this recommendation applies to students, faculty, and staff personal machines. In Summer 2016,<a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/posts/58680" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> all DoIT controlled computer labs will be upgraded to Windows 10 Education</a>. DoIT does officially support Windows 10 and will be happy to upgrade faculty and staff UMBC owned machines as requested. Windows 10 also has support for <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/posts/59957" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Eduroam</a> &amp; <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/posts/59875" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">MATLAB</a>. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Bryan Roper, Executive Demo Lead for Microsoft, <a href="https://youtu.be/wVo9Vdpk23g" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">gave 10 reasons why you should upgrade.</a> Roper mentioned that Windows 10 has the highest customer satisfaction rate of any version of Windows ever. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>By upgrading now, you can get live tiles that display tidbits of information without the need to open an app. There are also more games and apps on Windows 10 such as Minecraft, Netflix, and Adobe Photoshop Express. The security of Windows 10 is also improved, and if your device supports a fingerprint reader you can sign into it using Windows Hello</div>
    <div><br></div>

    <div>
    <em>Windows 10 screenshot. Here you can see the live tiles in action, along with a familiar Windows UI</em>. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The other advantage of upgrading now is you will get all future Windows 10 updates for free. This includes the upcoming summer update titled Anniversary Update which includes improvements to Cortana, Microsoft’s digital personal assistant similar to Apple’s Siri.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>You can check out some guides on upgrading from <a href="http://www.groovypost.com/howto/upgrade-windows-7-to-windows-10/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Windows 7 to Windows 10</a>, or how to upgrade from <a href="http://www.groovypost.com/howto/upgrade-windows-8-1-to-windows-10/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Windows 8.1 to Windows 10</a>. </div>

<Title>New Bb Upgrade Planned for WT2016</Title>
<Tagline>Benefits include improved Java-free Collaborate</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p>To continue our <a href="http://doit.umbc.edu/news/?id=46984" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">managed hosting</a> from Blackboard and access new functionality, <strong>UMBC’s Blackboard server will need to be upgraded in late December</strong> after the fall semester ends. Apart from ensuring UMBC is using the most recent and supported version of Blackboard, the upgrade will allow us to implement the new Collaborate.</p>
    <p>The new version of Collaborate uses the Chrome web browser rather than Java to deliver a superior audio and video experience.

<Title>Data Center Network Upgrade this Saturday beginning at 6am</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">DoIT will be doing some data center network updates this Saturday morning (August 8th) starting at 6:00am. We don't expect there to be any major interruption in services but there may be some brief disruption of various campus websites and on-campus mail services as we migrate services from one device to another to allow for the upgrades. These outages should only last a few seconds to a minute, but there will be several of them throughout the upgrade process. <div><br></div>
    <div>We expect the work to be completed by 10:00am. <div><br></div>

<Title>Campus Webmail to be Upgraded on May 28</Title>
<Tagline>Not applicable to google mail users.</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>On Wednesday, May 28 at 7am, DoIT will be performing an upgrade of the campus webmail environment on our dedicated Cyrus mail server. The current webmail environment is extremely out of date on both the hardware and software. There will be a brief 5 minute outage to transition to the new server and no data will be lost during this upgrade.  Anyone logged into webmail prior to 7am will need to restart their browser and login again.  Users of Cyrus webmail will notice a more refined interface with new colors as well as some icons that have shifted location.  
    Anyone wishing to try out the new Cyrus webmail environment is encouraged to login at </span><a href="http://webmail2.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>https://webmail2.umbc.edu</span></a><span>. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the </span><a href="http://doit.umbc.edu/tsc" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Technology Support Center</span></a><span> at x53838.</span></p>
