They need to push adoption, and what they need to do is remove DRM from windows 8.1 and give it away for free, it will shotgun adoption rates overnight to levels they would have never expected. They need to release a home version of Office that is free, they need to cater to the user and draw them back.
So your plan for Microsoft to be successful is to give away the very products that make up 55 to 60% of their revenue? That's gold, Jerry! Gold!!
Ryan Reed reports that when most Game of Thrones fans imagine George R.R. Martin writing his epic fantasy novels, they probably picture the author working on a futuristic desktop
Why would you need to buy one in a carrier store? Simply buy a SIM card from the carrier and put it in your phone. That's as trivial as it is to use it on either AT&T or T-Mobile.
They only "stepped up" after 7+ years of workers and their families fighting Samsung who was denying there were any problems at the plant. What have they done to deserve praise? That they did something nearly a decade after they should have?
As opposed to denying any problems for more than 7 years and letting a number of the affected workers die of the cancer they got from the job? Yeah, Samsung was ever so benevolent...
Is this post a joke? Samsung was fighting the workers and denying there were any problems for more than 7 years and some of the workers did die from the cancer before owning up to it.
Haven't purchased more than a couple games since Quake 4 but anything produced by Id up to 2005-6, so Commander Keen to Quake 4.
All of which received patches after release.
I don't remember having to patch Morrowind, Oblivion or Fallout 3.
You either never played them or are lying. Those games had to be patched to fix tons of bugs after release. Morrowind and Oblivion also had lots of patches for bugs from modders that Bethesda never fixed themselves.
Likely they don't own the copyrights to all of the code assuming they even have the source code to begin with. Most games use tons of binary-only, third-party middleware.
It was at 2,300 feet and about five miles from the airport when it encountered the remote controlled jet. The FAA investigated but could not identify the pilot of the drone.
People still use C for its wide portability. x86 is not the entire world. Micro-controllers with 2k of RAM still exist and are used all over the place. So what do you expect them to be programmed with? Also C89, C99 And C1x have long since evolved beyond Dennis Ritchies' original goals of what C was meant to do. That argument is especially stupid.

Hope he enjoys the "state sovereign immunity" rejection letter he'll receive.
You mean their ANNUAL revenue right now from residential customers is $5.7 billion.
No, their quarterly revenue is that.
What a stupid statement. Debuggers, for example, are great reverse engineering tools.
CS has always been about math and logic.
Even if they hadn't why would anyone presume that typing up a book would need a "futuristic desktop". The whole premise is just supremely stupid.
There are CDMA worldphones. They are simply multi-mode phones.

Why would anyone think that?
And denied that there was anything wrong for nearly a decade. It's a farce that anyone would applaud them for this.

In the long-term, yes, but shareholders only care about the current quarter's bottom line.

In conclusion, your post is total BS.
The vast majority of games even from the 80s and 90s did not support modding.
-+5 funny. Would laugh again.
Never mind, the did make an announcement to affirm the rumor.
Even if true, a rumor is not an announcement from Microsoft. Just sayin...

Where in the article was it mentioned that anything would be banned?
