Pathetic.

Probably bill telling lies again to cover up the shameful windows history.

"However, an IBM keyboard designer didn't want to give Microsoft a single button to start things up, and thus the iconic three-finger-salute was born." Start things up?! I think he meant to stop buggy Microsoft's software before it crashes the whole buggy operating system of Microsoft. And there was a button designed for similar operation: Reset on the PC box. Used more often than all keyboard keys all together.

So who cares what they do?

about:config -> browser.backspace action (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.backspace_action)

So what? Window 8.1 will have a start button that... still does not open start menu, but brings you back to shitty start screen. And will have option to run desktop by default, but NOTHING other will change about usability and start screen enforcement. And 8.1 will be even slower, but they will hide it behind hibernation (which sucks too). Really, what's the point in supporting such crap by making apps for it?

Has Elop become Nvidia's CEO recently?

Well, good luck.
