The interface is a pretty major part of the OS. Expecting people to modify their workflow for Microsoft's marketing department was always going to fail when the previous OS does exactly what the users want. The underpinnings of Windows 8 are better than 7 but the interface gets in your way more than I should.
In the UK we have tax funded health care and a thriving private insurance market. They compete by a combination of cherry picking and providing faster access to care. The private ISPs could compete by providing better service to those willing to pay. At the moment they are private monopolies (or duopolies) which is the worst of both worlds.
Who was it who decided to outsource to poor people who could sell that information for more than they earn in a month.
Much worse than space nutters are you miserable bean counters. Let's not do anything or go anywhere because "my God the expense!". Let's carry on with pointless resource ears to enrich the already insanely wealthy even further.

As opposed to open source stuff which is just abandoned. You could pick it up yourself but the risk is just different not non-existent. Microsoft may well try to bully people who create new versions of ASP.NET but they're not going to kill their dev tools business any time soon.
Only if you pretend that the cost of living is the same everywhere.
People talk non stop about women's issues. I'd like people to talk about people's issues. Talking about how more men commit suicide than women is whining? Fuck you.
It could be, however it quite often isn't. It would be much better to have one cable to the exchange that any provider can use to provide the service.
And let's have all these companies do maintenance at different times. What a wonderful world that would be.
So 20 different network cables, 10 gas pipes and 15 electricity cables all running to your property would be fine with you in the name of competition? Maintenance would be fun.
I'm not an American so go fuck yourself.
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
