Thanks for the history lesson. You really have a lot of knowledge about the topic.
But I didn't want to say the story didn't happen, I meant to express my feeling that war stories tend to get heroic. Great story, but too many died.
Take a fresh install of windows, update, restart, update, restart,....
On some machines it says "this update couldn't be installed", after a fresh windows installation.
For win 8 you have to turn to the shitty shop (or is it called market?) to install win 8.1
Windows Update is a horrible nightmare, to my disappointment they still don't kill it and make it better.
btw, has anybody tried updating a windows phone? What a f*ck. "downloading update", "preparing update", "updating", "restarting", "after update modifications", 30 minutes are gone. after rebooting, another update and so on.
Windows has the worst update mechanism of all major players and it isn't getting any better in win 10.
Maybe creating a neural network which simulates an ant brain or a cockroaches brain is the beginning? The next step would be a rat's brain and GAME OVER.:)
I wonder if we need AI-politicans, AI-lawyers, AI-managers and AI-share-dealers until everybody realizes that everybody could life a perfect life with a 10 hour/week job...
I won't by a samsung phone ever again. They don't update and just shit on the customers... God-thank's to alternatives, at least there are some because of sales unites of samsung phones. Poor people who bought unpopular phones...
I like my nexus 5 i bought 2nd hand (nexus 6 is too expensive).
So you mean this will stop when the final version is released?
The worst thing for me is the desire of windows 8 to sync everything to the cloud.
It stresses me to read every message/configuration option (some translated very bad) because i don't want anything accidentally in the microsoft cloud.
I (just) want software (O.K. an operating system) and not (rental) services.
Big companies already have a next money saving plan. It's called "PatentBox". You know, like starbucks. The 6 year transition period is needed to change to the new business model. If politicans were real about the "we need to save citizens from evil companies" speech, they would already start changing laws to protect from the upcoming PatentBox fraud.
...since Microsoft want's a new "APPS" business model and consumers like me just want a fast, reliable operating system. These two don't get along very well (IMHO).
...I am waiting for for a free programm and an adapter, where you snap an android phone to the new kinect, connect it to a battery pack and record really impressive 3d scenes (hopefully it get's exported as an usable 3d format)!
..." steal a copy of that document, the 'crown jewels' of the intelligence world.".
Like the nsa would be a noble org. that has 'crown jewels'. He just copied a part of an evil masterplan, which belong so some people you won't want to mess with.

Winner makes history.
Don't worry, until they have received the message we have already extincted ourselves.
...and make decisions with their wallet.
That is true, but if there are 10 updates every tuesday that would be 1/10*10=REBOOT

sounds like windows 10 to me :D
or adobe
or Ebooks
or iTunes
...didn't think that usage rights could be restricted to cars too. Ebooks and Emusic was just the beginning...

Thanks for the info, i knew this. But I've reverted back to win 7 and I'm happy. And I will stay away from windows 10 (apart from putting it in a VM).
