From https://view.officeapps.live.c... : "As expected, Enterprise Services revenue declined 1 percent and was flat in constant currency, due to a lower volume of Windows Server 2003 custom support agreements." I did not even know that Custom Support has to do with MS quarterly earnings until today! I wonder how much it actually costs for MS.
Has anything been said about PAE or are the rumors wrong? (I remember it mentioning 4GB of RAM but also a 32-bit version for only 32GB of storage for example.)

I have been thinking about whether the distinction between "consumer" (eg IdeaPad) and "business" (eg ThinkPad) machines even makes sense. This is not even limited to Lenovo of course.
They were designed decades ago when hiring large amount of workers to do manual labor jobs was common and the only alternative to these jobs was unemployment for many black people. This is why performance reviews and statistics are often used in the lawsuits.
For employment, I am willing to compromise and limit anti-discrimination laws to manual labor and similar jobs for which they are originally designed for. Things like formal performance reviews was designed for jobs that was easily measurable.

I wonder how Hollywood and the music industry have been taken over by lawyers in the first place.

I think it costs $12-$14 per 4Mbit chip back in 1993-1995.
One of my favorite is PX00307. Notice that it is about "PM vs. Windows" as it was about API calls only, which was the wrong way to make the decision.
OS/2 2.0 shipped with Win3.0. OS/2 2.1 shipped with Win3.1. I think yes both was based on source code from MS.
The entire OS/2 2.0 fiasco is one of my favorite topics. Remember MS's attempts to attack OS/2 later on, some of which was unethical I think?
32-bit Win10 still allow NTVDM to be enabled, though you have to enable the "legacy console" to run DOS apps.
Of course, the OS/2 2.0 fiasco is one of my favorite topics, but I know it is too late now.
They claim that they used the preorder funds as collateral to secure a $4 million loan.
Ah, "consumer" vs "business" computers. I wonder whether this even makes sense.

This is a good time to mention https://blogs.technet.microsof...
MS at least does have an attempt to protect privacy in crash dumps (dating long before Win10 BTW): https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.c...
For the most part, they do keep SQM and crash dumps etc separate from ad tracking though.
And I would not be surprised if there were ways to work around the patents.
I think the point is that they didn't officially test it with Windows, which is a bad thing.
I mean the reason why the distinction exists in the first place though, for example PC retail price wars.

I wonder when Intel will support LPDDR4. They didn't mention in the keynote that they were still using LPDDR3.
I think they are waterproof.

Unfortunately, at this point it doesn't. They intend to roll out older updates into the rollup over time.
