Move to RM

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was NO CONSENSUS to move page, per discussion below. A different target name, as suggested below, might be appropriate, but this is not a primary topic for RM. -GTBacchus(talk) 01:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


As the company is no longer called Research Machines, and has been known as RM for quite a long time, I propose that we move this page to RM, and move RM to RM (disambiguation) 137.222.112.165 11:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup

I added the cleanup tag, because it seems too chatty, not quite an advertisement, but close. I'm not familiar enough with the industry to do a good job on editing it. Bearian 14:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC) Agreed. Also the Criticism and Security sections have a derisive tone and are not NPOV.

Move to RM (company)

Further to the discussion above, can I suggest the article is renamed 'RM (company)' - since the company's name is RM plc, and to avoid confusion with the other meanings of RM. Research Machines is simply not the name of the company; it was the historical name of a private limited company from which RM plc was formed. It is as wrong as it would be to call the Virgin Media article 'National Transmitters' (being the original name of ntl). Ben Finn (talk) 22:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Moved to RM plc

Moved article to RM plc as per discussion above - appears no consensus was reached because no -one could decide what the new artcile would be called. RM plc seemed as good a choice as any. --carelesshx talk 01:39, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Poor security and exploits existing in CC

I am very suprised why there is no mention of the massive security flaws in RM CC3, such as the ability to easily open command prompt, alter system files, install programs, delete programs, use printers elsewhere in the area, exceed printer credits, exceed disk space quotas, and so on, all from a standard user account.

I am not familiar with wiki guidelines so I am not going to make any edits, but I thought wiki is NPOV, so there should be at least a brief mention of exploits existing. These could probably be fixed by applying hotfixes and changing the security policies, if it wasn't for RMs overly customised software which prevents administrators from doing that... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.96.156.246 (talk) 13:56, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
