The iMac led to the release of Disk First Aid 8.2 in mid-1998, which can finally repair the startup disk directly without having to boot from a DIsk First Aid floppy.
Looks like this is an opt-out bill, but one thing I don't like about it is how it literally requires the link to be called "Do Not Sell My Personal Information".
Yea, the problem with the Ubuntu search term debacle is that they were sending things like local filenames and making money off it. This is not the case here.
I wonder how many use the terminal in the first place for such an ad to be actually profitable anyway.

It basically scrubs all values that don't meet certain criteria with 0xAAAAAAAA. Also in patent 8,645,763.
Do anyone know who is responsible for pulling funding to the SFLC at Linux Foundation/VMware after the Germany VMware GPL enforcement lawsuit? Was Paul Maritz involved for example?
This mentions a minimum of 32GB storage for 32-bit and 64GB storage for 64-bit for "Windows 10 Cloud":

64-bit Windows takes more disk space because of the syswow64 directory etc.
Notice it also mentions 4GB of RAM, which makes me wonder about PAE.
The patents are probably almost expiring by now though. Remember the priority dates of Pentium 4 SSE2 patents released in Nov 2000 are probably around 1999 at the latest for example. SSE1 itself is just a subset of SSE2 with only single precision floating point instructions BTW. That itself was released with Pentium III in Jan 1999, meaning the priority date can't be later than 1998.
If you are able to compile programs with Visual C++, there are a lot of bugs that you can BSoD a terminal server with that will never get fixed.
They are moving XP and Vista to ESR right now. They eventually will do similar nagging later.
As a side note, the delay to release PDB symbols on MS's symbol server after a Patch Tuesday has been at least days and sometimes more than a week for the last two months (at least for the Win10 symbols I tried). I use them a lot with WinDbg.
