Win 10 is good OS that would be quickly adopted if/when MS decided to remove or make optional bolted-on telemetry malware. Such "feature" is simply not acceptable on a non-free product.
The percentage of the market that is aware of the telemetry and also bothered by it is negligible. The enterprise, which can disable it anyway, have resisted the upgrade because Windows 7 is adequate and the new features of 10, including administrative ones, aren't compelling enough to disrupt business to carry out the upgrade.

Aren't you supposed to be a good communicator to be a CEO? Or did the submitter/TFA misinterpret his statement?
FFS, we half of the kids that leave (one way or another) from inner city schools are functionally illiterate and we worry that some middle class kid who doesn't have enough curiosity to google "how to start programming" is not going to start? Priorities, you don't have them...
Like music, art, and even sports, computer science can give those kids a reason to take their studies seriously. Nobody thinks it will solve everyone's problems, or that it's easy.
This ala carte thing is really backfiring - as much as I dislike Comcast, there is something to be said for getting everything in one bill. When you add up netflix, HBOgo, hulu, CBS, Amazon, and your choice of Directv NOW, Playstation TV, or that Dish/sling offering plus a decent internet connection, its already more than the tv+net package from the cable company and the content we want constantly disappears or has some goofy restriction placed on it. The media companies are making this WORSE...
You're paying too much because you seem to think you need all that. Pick your favorite two and ditch the rest.

Way to react without thinking it through or doing a semblance of research on the matter. Governments can't remotely scrub hundreds of thousands or millions of private computers all over the world. What governments CAN do, and often do, is use their power to change DNS so that the malware can't contact the command and control servers, in effect de-fanging the malware. Private companies like Microsoft do this a lot also.
Spin it however you want, but the world is a better place because it happens and there is no other feasible way to combat botnets on this scale.
At least Microsoft allowed you to upgrade to 10. Our main investor is a former Microsoft SVP so we are required to use their garbage software, and one product until a few months ago wouldn't allow you to use any newer version of Windows than Vista. I don't understand their decision on that, but that means every single desktop and laptop in the entire company is running Vista, and Microsoft decided to screw their users by not allowing an upgrade 10. I don't know what we're going to do. Reimaging nearly a thousand machines with a single IT person is just going to be a disaster. I just don't get why they refuse to allow us to upgrade.
Your company chose to use software that only runs on a 10-year-old operating system. Your company apparently feels like one technician to 1000 machines is a good ratio. How is either of those Microsoft's fault? How does this add up to Microsoft not allowing you to upgrade?
I almost wish Hillary had won if it meant less of this inane soul-searching about social media. Could you make all the same arguments if she had been elected?
Sure. But the clearly liberal-leaning hucksters pushing these stories would hopefully be doing something else. Or maybe they would be pushing stories about the profound good that social media had on the outcome of the election.
When I was 14 working a restaurant, I did not make enough to live off of, and that was fine. I was able to make some money and learn responsibility, the employer was able to hire more help. Not every job should have to be a full time, living wage job.
I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, there is often a preposterous skill floor for skilled entry-level jobs. They want two years experience for exactly the level of job designed to provide that level of experience. Without being the boss's kid, it is difficult for people to transition from solid general work history, like said burger flipping, to an entry-level skilled position.
It is especially difficult for people who are not natural salesmen or negotiators.
.. on the constant mockery, this will be Dubya all over again, won't it?
Compared to Trump, George W Bush was a regular Pericles.
You're going to see mockery on a level never before seen in human history. And the Orange Daddy earned every bit of it.
That partially goes to show you how out of touch pundits and comedians are with half of the country. It's why they couldn't see his victory coming, and still can't make sense of it.
Apple doesn't actually make most of its popular products itself.
He will claim a victory if a subcontractor opens a factory to manufacture iGoods (and whether it has any positive impact, I think most people would agree that at least counts as Apple opening a factory).
This is one of the most concrete, attainable, and consistent things he's said.
How? I'm genuinely asking. Has Apple showed/communicated anything that supports this affirmation?
I don't know; He could fail. It just doesn't seem as crazy as people make it sound around here.
We read "the company has realized that it will cost more than double to make the shiny new gadgets at home," but Trump probably reads "Apple made an opening offer, so negotiations can commence."
What will it take? Tax breaks? Tariffs? Other incentives? He doesn't need to make it cost less to manufacture all their products in the US than overseas, he just needs to make it worth their while, or worth a subcontractor's while, to open a (single) factory in the US.
He is riding a wave of anti-globalization sentiment, he has both houses of congress, Chinese factory wages have risen steadily, and most of you laughing now were probably laughing in the same way on November 7.
For crying out loud, use your imagination. This is one of the most concrete, attainable, and consistent things he's said.
Actually I didn't vote for Clinton, but I did listen closely to what Trump said.
Anyone with any modicum of reasoning could figure out pretty quick that he isn't cut out for being POTUSA.
You don't get free nonstop press by being boring. Perhaps his supporters were the rational ones and we were the ones who could not comprehend things as they were?
You must live in a small, homogeneous country then. You try setting up a bureaucracy to train enough people to consistently count 130 million votes, spread across countless precincts, each with a unique set of State and Local items on their ballot, in addition to the Presidential vote.

Concert, venue, wedding, and bar performances are probably the best source of music wages, not recordings.
This is my thought, too. If you want to make a living in music, get used to gigging.

If only.
Securing the boarders against 'mass migration' would be easy.
But what if your boarders decide to stay somewhere else?
You're still not reading it correctly. You take an "emergency leave" (noun) you do not "Emergency leave" (verb) by bus.

Yes but you cannot "emergency leave."

Okay, I take it back. That would be worse.
Your only example of a drug hurting others is alcohol. Show me the devastation caused to families by the scourge of marijuana. Oh, you can't. Cheers.
You mean you've never known anybody who preferred pot to holding down a decent job to provide for his or her family?
Drugs are fun. That's why.
You're going to die, I'm going to die, everyone dies from something. Life is about having fun.
What a terrifying prospect if that were true (that life is about having fun). A life can be so much more, and much of it is not fun.

Hillary was FAR more open than he is.
Well, in his defense, she has more practice: he has not been campaigning for President since 1992.
The problem isn't Trump, it is all the people who voted for Trump.
For the thousandth time, this is why your candidate lost.
Which is the attainable part?
Apple can afford it. It is just a matter of convincing them, and their stockholders, it is in their long term best interest.
Apple doesn't actually make most of its popular products itself.
