I'm not discounting the importance of Windows, but there are more Windows/Microsoft stories in a day than you find about Linux/FLOSS in a week.

This isn't just another 'technology website.' It's Slashdot. I use to come here because it was frequented by like-minded individuals that loved Linux, open source and occasionally bash MS. Now it seems to be the opposite.
But I guess you're right. Slashdot did become 'just another technology website' and not even a good one at that. Thank you for making me realize that I may have to move on now. The Slashdot that I enjoyed years ago is gone.
I guess we missed it between all the Win10 stories.
Compared to V8 and Node.js, Chakracore is 10 years behind the times. Please explain why I should care to care about it?
Forgive the analogy, but it's the same as a ex-Nazi giving me old rotten potatoes when I already have a huge cellar filled with fresh ones.
I hope you realize that 129.2F means absolutely nothing to the majority of the world.

If you are still confused, here's some definitions.

I fail to see where the term 'car' is being used to refer to something that flies.
Something being 'technically able' to do something does not make it something else. Plane can fly. So can bird. Thus a bird must be a plane!
More relevant, plane can roll on runway, but they are not designed for continuous rolling. It simply is not designed to go on roads. If you want to transport a large number of people on a road, you use a bus, not an airplane. The fact that an airplane could technically carry a lot of people on a road does not make it a road vehicle--just like the fact that driving a hovercraft on a road does not make the hovercraft a car.
So, no. Planes are not 'flying cars'.
Out of curiosity, how much KPL/MPG would a plane get on a road?
But those 'roads' are not shared between aircraft and cars (notwithstanding service vehicle).
When was the last time you drove on a runway or taxiway to get to work? How often do you see an aircraft on the highway?
You can sent me pictures of aircraft that had to land on roads for emergencies, but that does not make them cars.
The definition of a car is one that stays primarily on a road. A flying car would be a vehicle that can be used on both roads and in the air. An aircraft is not meant to be used on roads. And no, a landing strip is not a road or else I should be able to drive my non-flying car on it.
Maybe I should have said I've yes seen those _used_ on the road.
That made me LOL.
I've yet to see one of those 'aircraft' and 'spacecraft' on the road...
There's no such thing as a Office 365 install. It's web only. Are you sure you're not confusing it with Microsoft Office 201*?
