Before you go accusing me of being a Microsoft shill - I've spent the past 7 years developing software on Linux
Un-fucking-likely.
You've echoed fucking Microsoft talking points - that makes you a shill.
Dumbass.

You can't read. That's typical among Windows shills.
I said the *one* *defining* difference that the *user* sees is metro.
The other, background stuff, doesn't matter all that much to the end user, and when you try to explain it, their eyes glaze over.
But mention Metro, and they start getting mad.
Now go away.

Metro? What Metro? I have Classic Shell installed so I never see it.
I find this common among 8.x shills such as yourself.
The one defining thing that separates 8 from 7 at the user's end is "not that important."
You idiots are fucking hilarious.
No, I will not eat your shit sandwich with smaller bites.

And I've never seen anything worth paying them for.
Except maybe Windows FLP, which is not for sale for any price to anyone not having corporate licenses and its use is discouraged by Microsoft. Windows Embedded 8 is a fucking pig and is fucking useless. It's within 5 percent of the size of a full version of 7 or 8 and all of the resource use as a full version of 7 or 8.x. Why bother?
"Small devices?" According to who? Microsoft's idea of a small device isn't anyone else's that I know of.
Sure, I'll take all the DVDs that Microsoft is willing to send me. I need more beer coasters.

You can try to use whatever semantics you want but in the end the result is the same. People have taken something which they do not have a right to and have not compensated the person/group who has created the work.
You mean like the record companies do to so many artists? Except in rare cases like Nettwerk Music. For example, The Romantics never saw a penny from "What I Like About You."
The only way the vast majority of bands make money these days is by touring. The amount of money they get from recorded music is basically confiscated by the publisher.
When people pirate music, they're screwing the publisher, not the band.

The empirical scientific agnostic religion of ASTROCISM, created by the worldwide Slovene empire with the help of the Slovene TOP SECRET WORLD-WIDE COMPUTER ELECTRONIC ENCYCLOPEDIA of THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO with its customs set up based upon the study of the Universe, primarily the study of our star, the Sun, "the giver of all light and heat and sole, sole sustenance of life on our planet, Earth," to aid the white Slovene spreading world population of Eurasia (Europe and Asia) which said population was composed of tiny independent farmers, namely a worldwide agrarian population.
The Slovenic empire through its religion of ASTROCISM made possible for man to advance to present day sophistication. THE ASTROCISM RELIGIOUS CUSTOMS AND FEAST DAYS WERE SOLELY TO ADVANCE THE AGRARIAN WHITE WORLD POPULATION WITH AUTOMATIC EDUCATION AND TRAINING.

Or the guy who had adopted the oh so brilliant minds of the Foreign Policy Initiative (nee PNAC) so that we would be dropping bombs on Tehran two months after inauguration.
His Romneyness didn't back away from the statements by Dan Senor that we would be at war with Iran at the behest of Israel.

'If you want to justify closing a library, you make access difficult and then you say it is hardly used.'
So we have "starve the beast" in Canada now.

copyright, which is a completely different issue.
It's about Yale's misuse of copyright to censor. You cannot copyright raw data. You can only copyright the representation of that data. This has been proven time and again by court cases where phone book publishers tried suing online phone directories and lost. Cookbook publishers were also smacked down by courts because recipes themselves are mere data and instructions and thus not copyrightable. Sweat of the brow isn't enough to apply copyright.
YBB+ wasn't a copyright infringement in any way, shape, or form. If YBB+ had copied the layout and the graphics of the Yale page, then Yale would have been entirely correct. However, that's not the case. The data representation was
It's censorship when you pretend that you're on the right side of the law and you use that to intimidate someone into taking down his stuff.
You, sir, are the one who doesn't understand copyright.

... using ad blocking and/or host files to deep-six ad networks not only produces a nicer user experience, but it's a valid security measure.
Trusting the web site is not enough. You have to trust the ad network too. Since any Joe Schmoe can buy ad space on an ad network, trusting the ad network means you're trusting Joe Schmoe.
I don't know about you guys, but I don't.
