Some 0-day leaks were found too, so I think MS will be quick to patch them.

We are hearing that excuse since windows phone 7: "but wait until the next version". It will fail too, since running Android apps won't be flawlessly (see Blackberry how that works out) and "universal apps" won't be developed outside MS since desktop users, where windows is large, are not interested in mobile apps but in full-sized desktop programs.

Privacy app users use TextSecure, SMSSecure and Redphone on Android, and Signal on iOS to communicate. No pesky government can read that.

All xian gay niggers should commit suicide! And NZ politicians who voted for this law too.

The algorithm wasn't that far off. I'm sure the gorilla will come over it.

Conservative porn, is that porn with Sarah palin as actor?

Fortunately I can still play Stalag 1 on the C64 emulator.

Well, Linux has its own quirks - the "change the GUI for the sake of change itself" virus has not escaped them too. Neither has the forced cloud invasion (Ubuntu search). However, if this is the direction Windows is going to, I will switch to Linux as main OS.
