is the exact same thing they said about every previous release. "They got it right this time", "they finally fixed all the bugs", "it has a few bugs that will surely be fixed quickly"...
This.
I'm pretty sure you could copy and paste 95% of the content from reviews of Windows 95 right into Win 10 reviews and nobody would blink an eye.
[NB. I have been testing Win 10 on non-production desktops for a few months, and I kind of like it. Despite having 20 years of linux experience and being a Java/Eclipse/J2EE "expert" I spent most of last weekend running Visual Studio 2015 on a Windows 10 VM and I didn't feel the need to scrub my skin clean with coarse sand, so things are looking pretty good.]
I'd definitely try this. The first application should be bacon sushi. Wrap some of the bacon-seaweed around some sticky rice and tempura-bacon-seaweed and serve with wasabi and ginger.
... and bacon.
I imagine at work I will be staying on win 7 until we are forced to choose
I know of major corporations that only STARTED their Win 7 ADOPTIONS in the fall of 2014, so I expect this to be the default.
Sounds totally cool. Also sounds like complete fiction.
I think you mean Phiction.
I'd like to see somebody make a decent case using UCC Article
As would I, unfortunately anyone wealthy enough to take that on is unlikely to consider it worth the effort in terms of opportunity cost. (i.e. If you can afford the legal fees you can also afford to completely write off the laptop and move on with your life because that's even cheaper and easier.)
"Sign in to the dashboard with your Microsoft account,"
No, go fuck yourself. Give me control over my updates/drivers inside the OS and don't make me sign up for your fucking spam in order to have a WORKING operating system.
The linked page was for hardware developers to submit their drivers to Microsoft so that they can be included in updates.
But I'm sure you realized that...
AIX installations...
Your poor, poor bastard.
Thinking you can manage everything properly is actually a big blindspot right there.
Absolutely. There's far too many people out there who think that because they know one thing well that means they should be considered technical experts in other domains.
So, in other words, all those Windows users out there are useless to you?
Useless as technical experts.
Useless if we're trying to communicate about administering any other OS. (It happens... it's scary.)
" I have 20 years of linux experience"; the fact that it is possible to say this suddenly makes me feel truly old.
IKR?
Yes, because not knowing how to use Windows is a great bet for getting a job in a business environment.
Also, VMs are hard.
On one hand I have 20 years of linux experience. On the other hand it was 15 years before that experience actually paid off in my professional life.
Loving linux is great and all, but you're useless to me if you only know one platform.
I hadn't realized the extent to which the press in Moscow was still so utterly a tool of government.
Then you really haven't been paying attention.
So true. I've been in the position a couple of times that if I did not provide a written summary I was being committed to something I knew nothing about. This isn't about malice, it's just how humans work (badly).
Yeah, and understand that when the PM says "well, if we all work 24x7 we'll be ontime" then PM is an idiot and should be told that.
Right idea, wrong tactic.
Instead of going head to head, it's a great place to be passive aggressive and start asking how you will be compensated for the extra hours and how they would like you to handle time off for job interviews.
