Thank you for saying this, I feel like every article about Microsoft needs this at the top. Most people on the blog fully understand that Windows isn't perfect, but take your doomsaying and fear mongering somewhere else. Really makes/. users look like bearded babies whining about anything not FLOSS.
That's not true at all!
/. whines about everything, regardless of its license.
The choice doesn't have to be between free/open-source and pay. The choice can be between subscription(as MS is currently ramming down users' throats) and pay-once, keep the same feature-set, maybe pay for security updates. Like all Windows up to and including Windows 7. Why should everyone be nickel-and-dimed to death while not even maintaining a consistent UX?
Games are an example of software that doesn't usually get updated, but you still want them to keep working.
Frankly I wish programmers like you (who don't have respect for backwards compatibility) would crawl into a ditch and die, but I don't get everything I want in this world.
Frankly I wish people like you (who think developers are beholden to lifetime support software in any future OS) would crawl into a ditch and die, but I don't get everything I want in this world.
Thank you and they do seem like edge cases, by that I don't mean they are pointless, but that they account for the minority of Mac users.
Some of those, one could even do with a VM that would work on a different architecture. There might be a performance hit, but for something built for "Windows 3.11 or Windows 95", I doubt it'd make a difference.
To host an other OS, obviously.
You are not a pro?
Cool, condescending comment, bro. I know what VMware fusion and Bootcamp do, but I'm asking for the specific use case of why the person would need to "host an other OS". I'm guessing the possibly loss of sales from being unable to do so might not outweigh the savings in paying Intel for chips.
What we do have that nobody on either side wants to discuss or even acknowledge is a public mental health crisis.
Nobody on either side wants to discuss guns either, because they are convinced the 'other side' feels the exact opposite of them (e.g. All guns everywhere / No guns anywhere). While mental health is definitely an issue, any discussion would unfortunately fall into the same black and white us vs them screaming arguments.
How did they do when asked to name a famous man leader in tech?
Well let's see...you got Clippy, you got Jeeves, you got the guy from Apple who throws the thing through the face of big brother, the annoying guy from the Verizon commercials who I think started a company...
That's about all I got. Wait, is Clippy male? I'm pretty sure he is, but I never got close enough to check.
...Can we not have a decent level headed somewhat moderate person please? Why are all the names being put forwards either extremists or just plain bonkers.
IHeartMedia has struggled with debt that was taken on to finance a $17.9 billion leveraged buyout in 2008 of what was then Clear Channel Communications Inc. That deal led by Bain Capital LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners LP closed just as a financial crisis began to undermine the U.S. economy.
Yes, "Thomas H. Lee Partners" is there as well, but you either missed Bain or are being obtuse.

But but..it's a Japanese company (Softbank) and a German company (Deutsche Telekom)! They can't merge and unfairly compete! USA! USA! USA!

What subscription?
The first version of any sottware is the best version.
Version 1.0 of anything is the perfect version. My baby duck brain tells me so.

You mean like web standards? Where Edge continues to make strides and already ranks better than Safari?
So if Edge is standards-compliant, and they use Edge, why can't you use any other browser?
For Windows Admin Center? You can

What about a false positive?
No one but you wants this refresh
I do/don't want X, therefore everyone does/doesn't want X!
Everyone thinks like I do and if they don't they are in the wrong!

What are you using VMware fusion or Bootcamp for that there aren't native macOS...or iOS versions of?

This is /. Microsoft could cure Cancer and they'd still be considered the most evil ever around here.
No, you see, because they lead their own company in the technology sector, GP doesn't think it's enough to count.

That wasn't a guy.

It worked for the GOP.
Looks clean shaven, possibly mute though.

The only one there is ever any fight over is the 2nd, maybe the 1st.
