When you look at all the processor families from Intel that they dropped on Windows 11. I would not expect this to change any time soon. By placing the processor family limitation on the upgrade, you won't see a major uptick for quite some time. Yea, and all the "oh you don't want that anymore" and "we are forcing this down your throat" attitude does make old timers like me cringe.

This whole article is Sour Grapes. It's an awkward language, but it works.

"I'm sorry, it seems I've forgotten how to fix that. Good luck" Spoken like Bill and Hillary Clinton. This would such a F'you moment for me. Likely blackmailing them with their pensions. TheWitness

Can someone place me on a suicide watch list.... cause this group think crap is going to ruin a good thing and drive me to drugs and alcohol which are now legal in my state. Wait... drugs and alcohol. Never mind the suicide watch list, I'll just self medicate to prevent the madness. Then I won't care. Wait, I drink city water. Never mind the medication then, I'm getting enough from my own cities water system. Everything is just fine and splendid.... nothing to see here. TheWitness

It is clear that with all the recent calls for open communications, that the OpenSSH folks have fixed most if not all of the back doors that allowed the NSA and others to rapidly decrypt communications. That's what I read from this. Mr. Clapper and others woke us up, and now they have lost access to their candy. TheWitness

Violently agreeing.

My expectation is that the Romney consulting and marketing machine is abusing a weakness in Googles algorithms to 'fake' trending and sentiment. For a motivated group of IT professionals with $$$ to spend, I'm sure it's doable..

Seriously folks, he likely uses a Blackberry, and agreed, never used an Android before. The only reason that he is saying these things is an attempt to cause confusion in the market, commonly known as FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt). This is all that Microsoft has to go on these days. Their browser market share is plummeting, and from what I've seen of their dev podcasts, their strategy to reclaim that share if through this MetroApp's bull#$@!, which essentially requires you to 1) Use a Windows PC, 2) Use IE. So all this talk is about raising doubts in the minds of consumers so that their whole MetroApp concept can gain traction and hopefully bring life to Windows8. Being that Microsoft still dominates the desktop market, this may be true. However, Microsoft has not chance in the smartphone market, and their strategy will fail unless they come up with IE for Android and iPhone.

A patent troll love affair where the only ones protected are other patent trolls. It's like all the wolves of the world unite to divide and concur the rest of us sheep. Makes me sick. TheWitness
