Apart from it being a free upgrade for Windows 7 users, you are entirely right! Rabble rabble rabble!

Better performance for free is neither unjustified or expensibe.

But it will work. Windows 10 is free if acquired in the first year of release. Is this so hard to understand?

Microsoft Terminal Services Client is ever so difficult to remember! I wonder why people haven't died simply trying to remember it - these MS bastards should be taken to court!

The toys of the rich become the tools of the poor, when given enough time. Yes, the rich will get all this stuff soon, but eventually, if successful, they will become so cheap everyone will have (or be able to have, should they wish) one.

Anyone who is enthusiastic about something might overemphasise its abilities, especially if they are trying to sell it. If you know that you won't get quite so offended or surprised by these pitches not precisely panning out in the long run, saving us from having to read the age-old faux-outrage responses again and again and again every time someone attempts to introduce a new way of doing things.

The petty ramblings of billionaire technologists are allowing you to read what I'm writing, so I'm not sure you can call it mostly drivel...

You are absolutely pathetic. Are you really that scared you feel you need to create such ridiculous straw men in order to besmirch a religion? Don't you realise that for every one of these comments you shit out you only make yourself look like some ignorant, intolerant, 19th century muppet, scared and confused, lashing out at that which you don't understand? Of course not - you're a xenophobe. You probably think you're doing the right thing.

If you believe that you are really ill-informed, no pun intended.

It would help you to read how and why vaccines work before arguing against their efficacy. As it is you are reinforcing the "science-ignorant anti-vaxxer" stereotype with such childish errors. Actually, that's pretty mean, as plenty of children understand how vaccination works, having been taught about Edward Jenner and his work in 1796, and the subsequent discoveries and developments in the field of immunology.

Or are you happy sounding like an under-educated person, cheerfully spouting abject nonsense like some massive beacon of ignorance for all to see?

It's never irreversible, the question is will we be around to (and capable of) stopping it? And if we are, what damage would the changes in climate do to humanity?

If you can't see the one particularly interesting difference between millions of years ago and today, you really should sit down in a quiet room and think.

And the answers are:

a) Yes
b) Yes
c) Yes

to a very acceptable level of accuracy.

Seeing as subscriptions for windows were made up by the author of the linked articles, you can probably calm down, breathe, and unbunch your knickers.

So much opinion, so little substance. Nice way to fly off the handle like a drama queen. Really good work.

That says absolutely nothing about them downgrading *anything*. It merely states that some devices might not be compatible (and so don't get the upgrade at all), or be missing certain hardware support and therefore unable to make use of all Windows 10 features. Nowhere does that mention downgrades or time-limits. They have to have these disclaimers as otherwise someone with an edge-case piece of hardware which simply can not run Windows 10 can sue the shit out of MS for not getting Windows 10. If this confuses or surprises you, it's not a problem with MS, but with your understanding of liability and hardware requirements.

We do know - you have chosen to not know.

Models not necessary

The science is settled, and models are not required for it to be settled - that is just a criterion you came up with.

Spending ~0.05% of the GDP is not "very detrimental", surely. Spending far more than that to mitigate the displaced communities, displaced farmland (yes, that is a thing), and the new and exciting pests and diseases sounds like a far worse deal to me (and to anyone else who actually could be bothered to read what the IPCC has been saying).
