I guess i was surprised it wasn't called "VMs" (or similar). I guess there's some significance to the use of the name "domains" but i don't know what it is.

 

I've hunted around and searched and i don't see the same question. Would someone care to enlighten me?

 

Thanks.

have a read of this..

Thanks for the link.

 

I admit i'm no better informed. I guess the discussion is beyond me

 

I'll just accept it as it is. No doubt changing the default will become annoying somewhere down the line, even in discussion or if i'm asking for troubleshooting help.
