Microsoft's own server operating systems cannot even reboot on Windows 10 Hyper-V without crashing, Unix runs fine.
Server 2016 is same OS base too. No thanks until MS hires a QA department back.
Joe Six pack checking his Facebook does not do the same QA for enterprise things like Hyper-V, PowerShell direct, exchange/outlook GPOs that all have broken in the past year.
Every web developer I have met HATE IE with SUCH A STRONG PASSION that they became linux geeks out of pure anger. They told me even something trivial like adding the simpliest of CSS would make IE 6 freak out and go into quirks mode. Nothing ever ever works and it is like that game with the wooden logs where you take from the bottom of the stack and put on the top until it collapses at just the wrong movement or support log.
Is it true that you had to memorize race conditions in IE 6 so it doesn't freak out and throw things together like in a blender. Sorry everyone loved Netscape and no one would use it if it was that bad.People here and I have been here in 1998 all rail about NEtscape 4 rocking and how horrible IE was. Go back to 2000 and see for yourself
Dell is selling a new Kaby Lake line of Linux specific PCs with a small screen. It is tested and QA certified. Go Google it under slashdot stories? I don't know if it's out yet though?
There are others who don't include bargain basement grade peripherals too if you buy a premium convertible. Oddly the MS Surface Pro 3 runs Ubuntu very well. You can disable the tpm keys or add your own with Ubuntu signed.
From what I see what MS wants is developer Mindshare and visual studio. As developers move to cloud, mobile, and html 5 it risks becoming irrelevant.
Visual Studio 2017 has Android, Linux, mono, typescript, Python, and other tool support. So MS is porting it for these reasons as setting a Hyper-V VM running Linux can be a pain.
So this is good as competition keeps bad companies good
I disagree 100%. Gates was the one who made IE 6 as proprietary as possible. Gates was the one who went behind the scenes to OEMs to block competitors. Gates was the who who redid the the text format standard for DoS to be incompatible with Unix.
This new MS is willing to go cloud and cross platform. IE is now w3c compliant..Net is opened. Visual Studio has Android and cross platform features etc.
If you don't want wibdows 10 don't use it. No one is holding a gun to your head.
As long as MS plays nice which they now are who cares? Competition is good and 1998 is over. MS can't scare people like they once did.
Actually Skype Inc abandoned Linux. Microsoft is the one updating again oddly.
I realized though on slashdot Microsoft could cure cancer and world hunger and of course someone will still bash them.
This isn't 1998 anymore. I use Freebsd and Windows together. I downloaded SQL server for Linux and will play with it in a vm next week. Windows 10 has Ubuntu and FreeBSD runs great in Hyper-V thanks to MS contributing from Azure.
It's not like they are subverting standards or anything they once did
I spoke with former farm hands and and those who used to work at meat processing plants. They went out while immigrants came in. Wages were cut in half during same time.
Factories also moved overseas. That is not racism but facts. Yes employers and immigrants broke the law and the white rural voter is angry that only Trump is in to stop this.
For me I got more skills. But you are same reactions on any H1B1 visa story. Does this make you racist as well?
Go 100 miles outside any metro area and it is Trump city.
Pennsylvania is very blue. A reporter drove 100 miles outside Philly to a school and 80% of the kids said there parents are voting for Trump. That is where the votes are coming from. High school educated rural blue collar workers who once had nice jobs eliminated by Mexican workers (I am not racist but citing facts ) and NAFTA. Jobs that once paid $40,000 a year in today's dollars in a factory are working at McDonald's as us city folks make money and call them racist and whiners.
So yes Trump flipped the union workers and many who hardly vote to the polls.
Real wages for non IT programmers, bankers, executives, and doctors has GONE DOWN considerable. You all live in a bubble here. They are angry at us and are not going to take it anymore! If we suffer then good. That is how Trump won
It is time car companies gave up and do what they do best. That is MAKE CARS!
When Steve Jobs returned to Apple he immediately sold the printing division, pippin, and killed the clone market. Why? He said let HP and Xerox do what they do best and have us do what WE do what is best.
Car companies do not know how to make UI's for car stereos or write programming. Going to Indian shops to save money or bringing in h1b1 visas to write the UI for cars do not work either. That is not what they know best.
Let Apple and Google do the stereo part and no I have NEVER HEARD anyone say BOY THAT STEREO DASHBOARD IS WHY I BOUGHT THIS car only X has it! I mean really??
Now I have heard to avoid Ford like the plague. The newer ones are coming with Iplay and Android Auto which is a plus for the suckers who want to loose money on a rapidly depreciating asset but for us who only buy used it will be awhile. WIth Android and IOS you also get audiobooks and other cool features and synchronization with the cloud.
Dude this 1970. Before that we mainframes the size of rooms, punch card storage, and computers with boards and boards stacked up to the size of a fridge. That one we called a mini computer because it was so small and had up to 1 meg of RAM
Okay, armchair expert, what would you have Mozilla do?
That's what I thought.
Easy make it more like Chrome.
Also take away some features and add spamming facebook social meda apis as well. Nothing says more than I want this than to have less features and facebook notifcations that won't go away!
An Nvidia 960M which is lower middle end from 2014 can kick it's butt easily. The Microsoft Surface Studio uses one. AMD does make a mobile version of its RX 480 which is in use with the Sony PS 4 pro which is like 5x faster. Not as battery efficient but insanely better performance that can scale easily to 5K for non gaming tasks and even game at 2K.
Hell the 450 can barely scale to 720P for gaming. Yes these are not gaming laptops yada yada but they offer a look at graphical performance.
Let me know know when it can do 1080P gaming from beyond 2010 Applefan boys!
What a joke as the 450 is about as bad as integrated graphics. They lost all credibility as I am sure it can not do anything that Apple says as they are so horrible and slower than the 2013 low end PS4/xbox graphics and they want to do 5k editing!!??
Why couldn't they updated the graphics. Shoot even the AMD Rx 460 the highest end one is easily beaten by a superior $80 Nvidia 1050 (non ti).

Windows 7 and 8.1 run just fine
I think Nokia has learned it's lesson about using outdated failures. If people wanted alternatives they would have sold more Windows Phones
Funny

That is actually a feature. Linux has rescue disks too you know to troubleshoot dead systems
The reason why is the key is stored on the TPM chip. NTFS.sys can simply use it as a layer in it's I/O stack when filling it's read/write buffers.
Bill Gates was still CEO when OpenXML was in play and you can bet that was intentional
That is not Microsoft but peripheral makers.

The APIs run natively just like a win32 one.
Windows does with developer tools.

I don't agree with it. Just restating.

Well ... If these jobs were so horrible and demeaning then why are people taking them?
You are taking away their livelihood otherwise they would not be voting for Trump.
Trump won because those jobs are no longer here
If I have to hear global warming without scientific evidence one more time...

I think a modern phone could crunch an IBM mainframe 370 quite easily in computation. The question is why would anyone want that?
Dude this 1970. Before that we mainframes the size of rooms, punch card storage, and computers with boards and boards stacked up to the size of a fridge. That one we called a mini computer because it was so small and had up to 1 meg of RAM
Yes the Voyager space craft is still running but difficult to communicate with as it has left our solar system uses an Intel 4004

Dude this is a Pro not an iphone.
That GPU is 2009 performance so the brainwashing with Apple fans are strong with this one
I will stick with Freebsd thank you very much. Everything in /usr/ports is just a compile away and I can customize it to how I want
