The upper class is going apeshit since the internet was invented, they see it as the biggest threat to their power. For those of you interested, the cold war for the american upper class hasn't ended. See this talk by former national security advisor of the united states.

So the elites of all western states are in full propaganda mode to divide and conquer and keep the peasants from realizing the rich and ceo's of the world are the cause of their ills with their corrupt laws and increasingly orwellian surveillance capitalism dystopia.

You don't grasp they are boiling the frog, the whole last 23 years with drm systems out of the game industry and even many software apps like adobe means they are closing the "running windows as root local application" loophole.

They've been quietly wanting to kill previous versions of windows now that the internet is here and want to move to encrypted computing and encrypted binaries, they've been slowly setting the stage with active directory technoligies, NTFS and encrypted file systems. Gamepass and Xbox UWP launcher is filled with drm tech that is going to further erode obscure control of your PC.

Sorry to tell ya, I really don't want to use an OS that can brick cracked apps at any time because UWP enabled apps allow MS to brick UWP apps with updates. So preserving any game or app using UWP is going to be a nightmare.

So as someone who is fully aware of the general dumbess of the average windows 10 user, you don't grasp windows 10 is the end of the PC as an open platform.

You're exactly the kind of pseudo intelletual non nerd we're talking about, anyone with a clue knows that America is a lawless oligarchy that has been rubber stamping infinite Copyright extensions for decades because the average citizen of most capitalist states are morons. Which is why our world is so fucked up.

Endless IP extension

America has been using copyright as a backdoor to dispossess the masses, this is what I was talking about slashdot not being home of the nerds. Anyone who's ever opened a book in their life and is well read, knows that there have been countless bad times and bad laws, like it was once legal to own slaves, just because the slave owning classes pass laws in a one sided way in their interests, doesn't mean anyone with a brain should respect them when they are so criminally one sided as to laughable.

So no, not ONLY did you prove my point of you being pseudo intellectual and ignorant, Copyright is a PUBLICALLY GRANTED MONOPOLY, meaning we actually own our own games and software. Since the deal was at some point copyright for software, books and games would expire and go public domain. But since we live in a very corporately indoctrinated society of ignorant corporate citizens. I wouldn't expect much from the modern slashdotter.

So not only did you not know that we actually owned our own culture, you had no idea wtf you were talking about.

... reality is Windows 10 is part of the big push to turn PC's into locked down platforms like mobile where you don't see raw binaries, that's what the rize of Azure and UWP are about. Micrsoft and the industry are trying to kill win32 because of all the money made through appstores like Apple and google are making.

The industry is forcibly trying to obsolete old hardware and software.
