You can upgrade it to Windows Pro if needed, or just install Linux on an existing laptop. Windows is shrinking in the consumer space. Windows 10 S isn't gong to turn that trend around.
I pictured managers at MS seeing the comment and laughing their asses off. They just don't care what anyone, other than their largest Enterprise customers, wants anymore.
There are no specific examples of what issues the data collection has created. A Google account is required. Anything entered when setting up the account is used to identify the student so if their Chromebook breaks, they can be assigned another one, login, and be up and running rather quickly. Homework is stored in Google's cloud and checked there by the student's teachers. This story seems like FUD being spread to get schools and parents worried about something that should be of no concern, just as Microsoft is releasing their new Windows Cloud Chromebook competitors. The timing may not be coincidental.
When there are a high number of faked peer reviews, and the public learns of them, I expect a growing number of "science is wrong" and flat-earth thinking in reponse. I see it more all the time on social media. We need to be criminally punish these fraudsters. A slap on the wrist isn't enough.
MS is hoping that some fools will decide to pay the $199, or whatever the price of the Pro upgrade is, without realizing that they still have an underpowered and now more expensive laptop.
Chromebooks are successful because if one breaks you simply give the kid another. When they log in it'll quickly be their machine again. Windows is going to be to slow to repair/replace. Even the best they can do is come within 25% of Chrome's boot time. Nothing Windows is "fast". I don't expect any OEM's to use a high end quad core CPU, just Celeron J1900 and AMD 5350 types. I see no advantage to end users here. Microsoft is again grasping at straws.
This reeks of being sponsored by the sugar industry. Those bastards paid Harvard researches in the 1960's to leave out sugar's being a cause of obesity and to shift the blame to fat. The result is a diabetes "epidemic", likely fueled by excessive sugar consumption taxing the pancreas until it no longer controls insulin levels properly. Any "study' like this should be suspect. How can an artificial sweetener that is not absorbed by the body, like sucralose, have any physical effect, unless the brain hates being tricked and is getting even.
There are always events that push scheduled releases back. I'll believe that MS will keep this schedule, after they actually done so for a couple of years.
You get my non-existent mod point. People need to stay away from things that allow them to do what they want to do with it. How many people would actually bother to make the change? Why is Samsung scared of the possibility? It's annoying.
Don't be a fool. The talent pool in the US is very deep. Employers don't want great workers that can leave of their own free will. They want indentured servants that have no recourse but to stay in the job they're brought in to do using the H-1B visa. Again, it's not about finding homegrown talent. It's about legally oppressing the workers as much as possible.
I've seen municipal systems that were set up years ago without any hardware firewalls, just Windows XP. They ignored my advice to harden the systems. It's alarming that towns are not fully proactive about their municipal Internet-of-things. This alarm system in Dallas is simply mischief that points out the flaws in one system. Other systems, some critical to a town's functioning, are still vulnerable. Politicians are mostly dumbasses that run on ideas, but once in office are dumbfounded, dazed and confused., on all levels of government.
I bought OS/2 Warp with the intention of loading it on the 20 PC's at the company I worked for. The problem is that when issues occurred and I called IBM support, they were out of the office. They only worked one shift, five days a week. Do, any real work on weekends or at night couldn't have supplier support ASAP. I dumped it after a couple of weeks, on the sole machine I had it on, mine, due to growing crashes that IBM support, when I did get a hold of them were like "get start over" Nope. OS/2 deserved to die due to corporate suckage. I installed Windows 95 beta and that's when we went with. The Windows 98 beta, when it became available, ran so well that it was installed on most PC's before being finalized. This is only the story of one company with very specific software needs that IBM screwed up and Microsoft did a great job on. Note that I dislike Microsoft these days, due to the final QA layer they pushed on Windows 10 Home and Pro users.
A Hollywood movie experience is not the same one as your typical sticky-floor cinema. When the stars attend a showing, it's an event where people go to watch it. No slobs are present and the place is likely immaculate. That's a lot like my home Netflix based movie watching. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
Employees generally have the right to express a non-attack style opinion, on the job. Except for invaluable employees, managers, executives, or part owners, it makes no sense to give all employees a say in how a company is run. That's not not how business works. If I hire a worker, I welcome their opinions, But, unless they're hired to manage a specific area of my business, they can't hold the reins.
When a manager holds a brainstorming session, my experience is that they use the result to make themselves looks better, while keeping notes to later blame an attendee in case the ideas don't work. Win-win for management. Only meetings of peers sharing ideas seem to make any sense.
If there weren't terrorists this would be a superb idea, well worth the investment. Just imagine how vulnerable hundreds of miles of a sealed transit system will be to terrorists, or even hormone crazed adolescents. The idea is sound. Modern human nature is not going to let it happen in the real world.

Trump and his cronies, advisers, and buddies, can't let facts get in the way of their beliefs.
Using Sandboxed Opera (Sandboxie) and Opera's built in VPN, it guessed my browser was Chrome.
If MS is successful, at what point will the AI that makes "suggestions" to the sales rep, replace the sales rep?

No one sent him a tweet reminding him of his promise. Not that he'd read it, or care.

The usual lies, damned lies, and statistics. None of it meaningful in the real world.

You deserve an unlimited number of mod points for this comment.

No matter what goes wrong with Windows MS PR claims It only affected a "small number of users". Followed by the fix will be coming "soon".
Only if they're considered to be vital by Microsoft, so probably.
NewEgg has a Lenovo 110S, with Windows 10 and an 11.6 inch screen, for $169. That qualifies as a small screen at a low price.
