The problem is that Android is (as I wrote) now the only realistic alternative for mobile phone manufacturers.
Is it in the interest of consumers that Google gets more power than they already have?
Was it good that Microsoft ruled the PC platform for 20 years?
Android is (according to others here - I have not verified) four times bigger measured by the number of units sold. It is pretty logical that EU goes after the biggest player first.
Nobody in their right mind run Windows 7 on a Pentium 3.
These systems were supplied either with Windows 9x or Windows XP.
People who would pay for an upgrade to the OS would also (after 15 years) have upgraded the hardware a long time ago.
Based on the timeline for the CPU, these embedded systems were supplied with Windows 2000 or XP, and most likely still run Windows 2000/XP behind a firewall or offline.
ISPs use NAT to provide enough addresses. Services like point to point communication (things like Skype) is difficult because each device does not have a unique address.
And for the internet visible addresses: With IPv6 each subscriber can get as many addresses as is available on the whole internet today (or more). With random address assignment, scanning the address range of just one sunscriber will take as mush effort as scanning the antire internet today. So even if the devices are available, they will not be easy to find.
Granted, if you need the entire current window, fine.
In my case, I pretty much never want the entire window, so I have used the snipping tool since I discovered it.
Not sure if the artcle author is quite up to date, as I have been using winkey-shift-s since I was upgraded to Windows 10 quite some time ago.
The Windows-s (no shift) worked in Windows 7 with OneNote installed, and I assumed it was the OneNote function that had changed shortcut key on Win10.
I browsed the article, and there are no actual facts to support the claim that hacking a satelite is surprisingly easy. None.
The claim that they run Windows 95 is not supported at all. A quick google revealed that most of the older satelites did not have a traditional operating system at all.
The whole article looks mostlly like clickbait, written by somebody with little knowledge of computers and even less about satelites.
Spot on.
I used to watch 911 videos (not many... they are all the same) some years ago, and of course more came up as recommended.
As I now mostly watch music videos (and nerdy guitar videos like Guitar Of The Day), I get recommended (you guessed it...) more guitar videos and music videos. And for some reason I get recommended Samantha Fish videos. Ah, that may be because I have watched several videos with her. So now I am becoming a radicalized Samatha Fish...something.
It reminds me a little about a suggestion back in the late sixties (I think) when somebody wanted decimal time, like 10 hours in a day, and 100 minutes in a hour. Like decimal time, the proposale for one time zone is just another silly idea with no chance of being accespted.
You are ignoring the fact that most people still funciton within one time zone. There is absolutioly no gain for them in changing to UTC (or any other standard time).
And there is no chance at all that all the world would accept UTC time. So this may be a more or less interesting thought experiment, but in real life, it is a non-starter.
And I think you point to the current state of competition. It is between cloud services (MS vs. Google vs..... some others), not between Office suites.
'When companies transition from Microsoft's traditional licensing business to cloud-based subscriptions, it's "not a one-for-one move"'
Instead of paying the once for the software, you'll be paying a yearly rent into perpetuity.
Most large businesse have/had a subscription, which cost quite a bit. Also, the O365 for business subscription cover a lot more than traditional Office. And nobody prevent you from purchasing the traditional licenses.

Ad hominem attack. You lost.

That is pretty much like saying "Don't use Windows" in the PC market, which translates to "leave the market".
Nothing.
The EU are trying to avoid a Microsoft Windows situation on mobile phones.
With Android being the only realistic OS available outside of Apple, it seems like a smart move to avoid another monopoly.
If so, the development cycle would also force the use of an old version of the OS, in this case XP.
Do you know anybody using WIn7 on a PIII, or are you just complaining because it is Microsoft?
Probably less people running Win7 on a PIII than the number of people complaining about it on /.

IPv5 had the same address limitation (32 bit) as IPv4, so it would not have solved the address shortage problem.

You do not keep the IP if you change ISP or network.
I do.

No, this was before Internet. It was around 1970. but apparently, the idea has come up several times throughout history. Apparently with no success.

Ah the old "M$". Does it not feel a little behind the times to to still use that one?

Not completely. Local radio stations will still be on FM for a few years more.
