"Microsoft noted that almost 80% of all cyberattacks target passwords...". I wonder what percentage of cyberattacks target Windows OS? Perhaps they should work on reducing the number of Windows devices??

"Everyone"? No, lots maybe, possibly even the majority, but not everyone. I'd actually like someone to make a phone that is similar is width/height to HTC One S, happy for it to be thicker than that device (with longer battery life), with SD card and decent speaker(s). Keep the metal body, I don't care about wireless charging. AndroidOne would do nicely so I don't have to put up with the crapware that comes preinstalled (Stocks, Facebook etc). Currently have HTC One M8 and I'm not seeing anything new that drives me to upgrade.

does that mean that we're on the dark side? :-)

Really? Northern Rail have recently introduced new paper tickets ahead of barriers that can read them. Consequently they have to have staff stood next to the barriers to check the tickets visually and swipe passengers through. Only recently have we got updated barriers at Bradford Interchange. I can't imagine them being able to introduce any modern system in an effective, efficient manner. The invest in new ticket machines would be crazy too.

The original 7s had a problem with memory TRIM or something. They get horribly slow over time. A factory reset fixes it for a while, but that's far from ideal. OS update was meant to fix it, though I've not seem evidence of a fix. If it wasn't for that then they are lovely devices.

How much from software patents on Android I wonder?

We use Windows XP at work, converting laptops to Windows 7. I've used Fedora at home, on both desktop and laptop, since RedHat 4 I think. For games I use PS3.

The National Media Museum in Bradford has a "display" of old video games. I say display, it's better than that 'cause you can play on some of them too. Handy when the train arrives too early for the film.

thanks, I wondered WTF anyone would want IE7 when Firefox and Opera (and maybe even Safari) are available.

I admit I'm a Firefox fan boy, but Opera is quick on JavaScript heavy sites, though IMHO the interface isn't quite as good as Firefox. Running on FC6 I've also had Opera crash more times the Firefox, over a short period. Firefox, which extensions, is all I need.

As far as I can see IE7 will only be used where Microsoft push it out as a critical update or by those unfortunate to be trying to get Vista to run Flash plugin, talk to their MP3 player, printer - yes, I've had friends ask for help on all these.

anyway....
