Five different "are you sure" warning banners and do-nothing information pop-ups per page, destroying ANY browsing experience! Turn off Aero Glass, and it is inhumanely obtrusive.
And, in the end it does nothing to flash all this "meta" about every click. Users make horrible security decisions anyway. IE does nothing but inconvenience that situation. Without enforcement it's useless - worse than, even.
That's why ghostery and ad block and better privacy are better in every way.
We didn't need another OS. Windows 7 was still alive and well
"We" don't. Microsoft does. Microsoft sales, does, at least. And inside MS, sales is the only thing that matters. Trust me on this.
MS recognizes its big dollars on Enterprise License Agreements, (EA). These have many recurring, subscription-like components that contribute discount for customers, that MS likes to describe as the "total EA value".
A principal incentive in the EA is "Desktop Assurance". That's a sub, where you buy a future-proof, free upgrade to your desktop license count. The rub is this: if there's no significant upgrade to the desktop over several years of window? There's no value in buying desktop assurance! It is cheaper to let DA expire and go 3-4 years, then acquire new licenses when a desktop is actually released.
This sucks a BIG annually-realised amount out of enterprise accounts, so MS needs a principal release, before 3 years are up. They shovel all kinds of shelfware/perkware from their incubation BU to keep year-to-year value for IT. This was the route for Forefront AV, etc.
Then? There's the sync of engineering efforts with Server. Win Server needs to fight for its scrappy share against ESXi and against appliance-like Linux application hosts. So they are pushing a release cycle that was tied back to the desktop with Vista.
Add to this, the OEM revenue that happens when they mint a new version number, and Microsoft really NEEDS a new desktop Windows at a frequency which will drive their uses to Macintosh.;-)
Now, just another car hitched-up to the Cisco fail-train. The LAST thing Cisco needs to do? Acquire more hardware.
Software-defined networking is where Cisco will be commoditized into irrelevance. Sticking a management interface and IPAM "in the cloud" is not SDN.
But Cisco cannot realize revenue, in the way they have scaled their operations, on software. They cannot transform their business, and they will slowly die.
The militancy of Gazan politics is the direct result of Israeli aggression and illegal siege. This is by design of Israel's cynical policy - where defense by the victim is spun as ideological-driven attacks, fueled by an incompatible world view.
I'll never convince a Hasbara apparatchik, like yourself. But for those who might want to put the violence in context?

Those people get to vote, and elect the Dictator that they choose to express mandates of state power over their lives.
This is different than how it's done in Britain, where they have a queen, and the Prime Minister must serve at her pleasure - once people have voted which party will manage the bureaucracy.
The last 5 users of FreeBSD have agreed to purge the key from their key-rings, and new fingerprints will be exchanged by express delivery of a single USB key among the participants.
Nobody hated Jews in Palestine, until a bunch of Polish and Russian pricks, calling themselves "Hebrew" camped their little racist state on the coast, in the middle of the last century.
This argument of "thousands of years intractable mutual hostility" is an ahistorical falsehood. It originated in the Zionist camp - as it succeeds in planting the assumption that Palestine is a historical home to these people.
The Jews and Israelites of the Bible are still in Palestine. That much is true. It is just that their ancestors are mostly Muslim and Christian, now. They are called Palestinians, and were largely Arabised, in late Roman times. Hebrew hasn't been their language since the conquest of Babylon, by Cyrus the great, when Aramaic came to the fore, and never fully gave ground to either Greek or Latin.
A quibble. Once it's wireless, these are the PUBLIC airwaves, in the US. These are leased, for the COMMON BENEFIT of the public. They are not the private, rent-domain of telco corporations, no matter how they behave.
That said, yes. Why the f*ck is a powerstation or auto assembly plant bridging their private control nets to their needed Internet infrastructure?
CLUE! Don't solve this by adding police controls to the Internet part of this arrangement!

I'm pretty certain, based on this evidence, that Meg Whitman is Steve Ballmer in drag.

They are a sales company. They sell reasonably well.
Marketing company? PULEEZZ! They can't market a thing. Witness? This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7UlE-o8DQQ

Win 7 is a resource-sucking pile of goat clusters.
Everytime I am forced back to a Win desktop - XP or 7 - I'm astounded people put up with it!
I have been on Linux of various flavors and OSX for so long, I forgot about the Stockholm syndrome of Microsoft's captive audience.

I think McAfee's probably right.
There's a bit of a witch-hunt going on.

It did reach its "out of the closet" phase with the Bush II regime - and has been normalized into permanence under the Obama intelligence-state.

Yes. You've been their and spoken to people - on both sides.
You HAVE to ask yourself this: "From what source do I get my information, and how many levels of mediation are between me and the original source".
You will find that your experience and understanding are built upon layers of unproven trust.

And you can fly
High as a kite if you want to
Faster than light if you want to
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel
It's all a dream
Light passing by on the screen
And there's you and I on the beam
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel
We ride the waves

Distance is gone, will we find out?
How life began, will be find out?
