If you don't want them "forced down your throat", maybe you should change the setting to instead notify you that they exist and then let you pick and choose which ones you want to install as well as those you want to ignore permanently? How is that any different from any of the automatic update services in Linux distributions bugging you to update and you continually ignoring them?
I use Windows maybe twice a year and I am not going spend hours fiddling with settings just for that. On Linux it Just Works[tm] and I usually do not have to reboot, even on the rare occasions there is a critical patch.
It's nothing like the Windows situation where you get a bag of critical patches forced down your throat every Patch Tuesday, and then your Windows box loves to reboot right in the middle of whatever you are doing. Sheesh.
No possible way to construe that as a troll, it is a fact. About Windows. The worst operating system ever forced on the world by illegal means.

Apple has played their part in escalating the war but as Apple and Motorola are concerned, Motorola started that particular battle.
A little disingenuous are we? Apple sued HTC on March 2nd, 2010, starting the phone wars. And let's not forget that Steve Jobs stated he was going to go "theronuclear" to destroy Android.
I had to scratch my head over this one until I realize that it's a kick at Microsoft... blessing the non-Microsoft incarnation of C# and making it, by definition, compatible. Truthfully though, I think Sony would be better served by sticking to the mainstream of what first string game devs are actually using. Not that I really care about the welfare of these two abusers. They make a great pair for a death spiral.
Usually, FRAND has some sort of patent cross-licensing involved with a small payment attached. The benefit to the original patent holder is that they gain security against being sued by their competitors.
Microsoft shaking down Android manufacturers with its most probably bogus software patents says that you are incorrect about Microsoft improving at all.
Today Iridium is a healthy business with nearly half a million subscribers. Motorola may have got that one wrong, but not very far wrong. You know who really deserves to crater as a company for bad management? Microsoft. Kept going only by illegal monopoly control of PC manufacturers and evil software lock-in of the kind that got IBM sued nearly into oblivion in the eighties.
What is the cummulative cost of Intel getting the byte order backwards? Billions? And it still continues.
Just the cost of not being able to sort numbers with the same comparison operation as strings must be enormous. It is just amazing how people are capable of convincing themselves that upside down is rightside up.

Yes, because it's completely impossible to turn that feature off. Oh wait...

Fanboy much? Conflicker is a Windows worm.
Wow, we have a serious Microsoft Spinbot infestation problem today.
Microsoft Spinbots are beginning to outnumber real people. I wonder how much it pays?

3) Reveal Microsoft Spinmods on Slashdot
1) Get rid of Windows
2) Never use it again
Google isn't completely gone yet. From time to time, they can still be shamed into doing the right.

Your farmer analogy is a fail. As are nearly all arguments by analogy, but yours particularly so.
The TR1 libraries you speak of are derived from Boost or inspired by Boost, they are not Boost. That is, the APIs are not necessarily compatible.

Oh, how that smells like cartel.
Now that you mention it, it would be excellent to see troll patent standard H.264 destroyed by patents. In a perfect world.

Waitasec, didn't Google just pay expensive engineers for the free and open VP8 standard?
It's amazing how much the moral and ethical standards of Microsoft and Apple have converged, and it is not because Microsoft improved.
"Fair" in this context means we abuse all our victims equally.
The rest of the world is laughing at us over it.
European lawyers are slavering over it. And Chinese lawyers. And Indian lawyers. And Bolivian lawyers. And even Lower Slobovian lawyers.
Maybe Microsoft and Apple should not have started the war by suing Android manufacturers.

You should get a job at Intel, you would blend in just fine there.
QT MOC is the opposite of elegant, it is an abomination. But it has no shortage of apologists.
