My experience providing support has been to the contrary. Casual users and less technically inclined users seem to hate metro. I am frequently asked to implement replacements for metro for these folks.

At the NSA they need to do things like have employees print and scan documents. That's simply not always possible with linux. Believe me, I've tried with my printer for a year.

PEBKAC or a need for new hardware, these things aren't always possible with windows either.

Netflix is available in Canada since last year from what I read. ca.netflix.com. I don't know what is available to Canadians as compared to the USA, but it's there.

Blizzard Rolls Out Real ID Privacy Options 145

Posted by Soulskill on Friday October 01, 2010 @01:13AM from the step-in-the-right-direction dept.

tacarat writes "The last time Blizzard mentioned their new Real ID system, there was a strong backlash from users over privacy issues. Blizzard reconsidered their plans to require real names for forums, and little has been heard about it since. Now, they've announced new privacy settings, allowing users to limit how their name gets shared or to disable the system entirely. Quoting: 'These options provide Real ID users with additional tools for customizing the service based on their preferences, enabling the ability to opt in or out of the Real ID "Friends of Friends" and "Add Facebook Friends" features or to turn off Real ID altogether.'"

Interesting point, but often a necessity in life, how do you feel about those that only bleed for 3?
