  1. I recommend that you read this instead: https://technet.microsoft.com/...

  2. Re:Smaller market, too. on PC Shipments Return To Growth In the US (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I think a lot of what they are doing with Win10 including "Windows as a service" is to reduce dependence on PC sales for Windows revenue. WinSE is expensive for example. I recommend that you read this: https://hal2020.com/2013/03/07...

  3. However ARM was bought by Intel, no idea how much is still in the UK.

    I don't think that is true.

  4. Re:Does it bundle.. on Microsoft Releases Big 'Convenience Rollup' Update For Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    I don't think it is that bad, but yes it would be interesting to compare KB3068708 vs KB3080149.

  5. Re:Does it bundle.. on Microsoft Releases Big 'Convenience Rollup' Update For Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Sorry, the right KB article is KB3080149. KB3068708 is the original patch, KB3080149 is the new version.

    Sorry, correct KB article number is KB3068708

    FYI, the only important one is KB3075249, and it does say that the new version "Reduces the network connections on a Windows system that doesn't participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP)."

    I have been thinking of selling Windows to a non-profit foundation for a while now.

  10. There is the issue of security too. One security question is whether it have "Slaughterhouse" (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s... and http://bholley.net/blog/2016/t...). This is not the only incident where Mozilla people have suggested hiding bugs until an old ESR goes end of life BTW.

  11. Re:Not completely correct. on Ubuntu Drops Support For AMD's Catalyst GPU Driver (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Still, I consider freedom to distribute the most interesting one for many reasons. For example, Win10 is only free to Win7 and Win8.1 upgraders. OEMs for example have to pay for it. When I suggested selling Windows to a non-profit foundation, I was referring to that one.

    Feel free to email me too. I also participated in the Reddit thread.

    I have been thinking that Mozilla should do a new browser for Servo and continue to support Firefox for those who need XUL based add-ons.

    Not to mention the question of whether it have "Slaughterhouse" (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s... and http://bholley.net/blog/2016/t...). This is not the only incident where Mozilla people have suggested hiding bugs until an old ESR goes end of life BTW.

    I should mention the https://np.reddit.com/r/firefo... fiasco. I wonder what is happening here.

  19. During the DRAM shortage in 1988, right? It is funny how the shortage came out just after OS/2 1.0 was released at the end of 1987.

    I dislike anti-discrimination laws in general. I think a good compromise would be to limit to manual labor jobs and the like which the laws was originally designed for.

    I think the ARM SBSA folks are moving toward UEFI/ACPI now.

  23. This is the "Windows Update Client for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: December 2015" update. This don't have the actual GWX client that nags etc.

    Yea, they basically push entire new builds out to users with a option to defer them available on Pro.
