re: Windows 8 – Start Menu Button

Windows 8 has a fantastic engine that makes a multitasking conventional desktop experience potentially awesome.

Unfortunately Microsoft uncharacteristically has endeavoured to remove their traditional choice and flexibility and (Steven Sinofsky) imposed on users a hobbled conventional desktop. This simple act has undermined the potential success and soft landing for user adoption of this fantastic new platform.

All is not lost, with a few simple end user tweaks a fully empowered conventional desktop can be established in under 5 minutes. blog.nigelgibbons.com/.../windows-8-desktop-prioritisation-guide

@Ken,

Thank you for the idea and link info. Fixed now.

In regards to your solution - we have external vendors that have no access to VPN, therefore that option didn't work for us. On top of that, the plugins that SCM-Manager appealed to us a lot (AD, Jenkins).

I also forgot to mention that SCM can host SVN and HG, with ability to import repositories, which is great for us once we entirely switch over.

In my experience moving a live product from xyz to git in the past, it always pays off. good for you.

As for hosting on Windows - it actually should be very easy if you are all within the firewall (or VPN in if not) - you should be able to setup a bare repo on a network share, and everybody can chime in. Regular filesystem ACLs can work to manage permissions, and you're done.

and a small nit - the link from the post is missing the http:// part and thus broken.
