MS gets too aggressive with updates, and people who wouldn't mind less aggressive updates get annoyed and turn off auto-updating altogether, for better or worse...
I did that with my tablet after an automatic update left me stuck at the login screen until I figured out how to roll back the update.
I had mixed feelings about him before (figured he was a blowhard with honest intentions) but now that it seems he's in Putin's pocket, I remain convinced that Ecuador did the right thing.
Part of the problem is that there's a push to put as many high school students into college (even 2-year college) as possible, even those who would be better served going to vocational schools.
QBASIC was in MS-DOS 5 and later, and PC DOS 5.0 throught 5.02.
In MS-DOS, it replaced GW-BASIC; IBM continued to keep their BASICA (which GW-BASIC was functionally equivalent to but did not depend on the Cassette Basic in ROM) around to the end.
I remember them singing a much different tune a few years ago - back about the same time Time Warner started playing with the idea, they were only too happy to institute caps, and when in Rochester, NY you had Frontier with caps, and TWC threatening them, people got so pissed off we nearly had them pushing for a law against data caps in Congress.
VBDOS is a descendant of QuickBasic Extended 7.1, and QBasic is a nerfed version of QuickBasic 4.5. I'm well aware of the history of Microsoft BASIC on MS-DOS.
For the record, a buildable source tree to QBasic 1.1 is out there.
I'm not afraid of terrorists (even though I live in a power point that they'd probably love to attack). The government, otoh, and don't give me that BS about "if you ain't got nothing to hide, you needn't worry". EVERYBODY has skeletons in their closets.
We used to have a 3-year state-designed mixed course, where I (9th grade, usually) was mostly algebra, II was mostly geometry and III was mostly trig - but there was other stuff thrown in and the beginning of II was a unit on Boolean logic.
Huh? Last I checked, qemu WAS designed to be fast - or at least compared to Bochs, which isn't saying much, it was intended to be fast. Or are you confusing the two?

A variation of the old Door in the Face strategy.
I thought Mexico was region 4, like Brazil. o.o;

A friend of mine refers to some of our servers as running "Linux" when in fact they run FreeBSD. (Others do run Linux, but not the ones he uses.)

I think I've seen more Ford tractors around than John Deere. With this, I expect that to become even more true.

Let's hope.

I thought 2 was a worthy successor.

How Orwellian of them to say so...

I for one would like to see "Visual Basic 1.0 for MS-DOS" opened up.
Isn't it a variation of the Columbia House type of shyst?
MS had SFU/Interix, which they dropped.
Could this be a port of Ubuntu to that, much as Debian ported their OS to FreeBSD and the HURD?

I am indeed from NY.
They changed the system after I graduated, I think.

How about ReactOS and ReactX?
The prevailing wisdom was that the *case* was Jobs' idea.
...something along the lines of "Welcome to the Internet, where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents" ?
People in general (there's always exceptions) just want something simple that works, not something loaded with useless and expensive gewgaws.
Pretty sure Boost Mobile IS Sprint.
