I think it is waste of time and money, with errors in quantum computing, this is like making an analogue computer to work. We should focus of using the light as a signal with proper switches and keep the computers digital/binary.
It is not even that, all Windows files in use are locked and cannot be overwritten hence updated - stupid design. Same for configurations (Registry). In Linux you can upgrade the program even if it is running, next time you call it - it is brand new - same applies to the Kernel. During update you replace all the necessary files with the newer versions and at the end restart the affected services (minus kernel, GUI and user applications ).
This type of bugs only show that Windows OS is a spaghetti code, no matter how many pictures they draw with layers, blocks and modules, they don't follow these.The code is all over the place and touching something breaks something else which looks like unrelated.
Bezos will be glad to sell you food, air, water and whatnot he is a salesman after all, he is just working to send you there. Trump will charge the tariffs for all that at the "border". Putin will protect you from aliens. B.Gates will sell you vaccines and nets - oops wrong, maybe a computer but no updates only advertising.

Somebody should tell him he can not take all the trillions with him when kicks the bucket, he obviously doesn't know that.

So you have to trust somebody to host it and storage is not free, and also to trust your browser manufacturer (Google, MS and Apple) and trust your OS manufacturer as well (again Google, MS and Apple). Finally Google will put Facebook out of business (unless people keep going with the status quo).
It is 2018 and MS still doesn't have concept for temp files.
They should take a lesson or two from Unix/Linux - particularly/tmp and/var/tmp folders and Debian style "apt clean" Temp files should be centralised not scattered all over the place in user's profiles and expect them to take care to get rid of them (which never happens and it affects performance of the OS itself).
That way they will avoid the nonsense "MS still doesn't have concept for temp files" or this is another excuse to collect user's data and promote their cloud.
Depends on the price to switch to a system that isn't so insecure.
Where I work, we tried switching about fifty servers to Linux, but it failed due to the fact we couldn't find people that knew what they were doing for minimum wage. The two high school drop-outs that work for minimum wage do an OK job with keeping those Windows servers running. Windows is acceptable since our customer SLA is 95% so I think we can have almost five hours of downtime a week. Of course we often exceed that amount of downtime because of Microsoft-created problems, but the lost customers cost less than a Linux expert would cost.
These guys apparently found people that knew what they were doing for minimum wage and the result is...
Even worse - imagine running Php in Windows/IIS env. or #C in Linux env.
So considering a language should also take into account the platform it will be running on.
Or use different metrics.
A lot of companies which pay all bills have a small profit and pay everybody's salaries are not good enough according to some metrics. "Good" companies have to have a big profit and show growth all the time.
So you think Musk created all the rockets, electrical cars, trucks, batteries, solar roofs, boring cars etc singlehanded, some think even Bitcoin. Good luck with that thinking.
Maybe MS are preparing Windows to get a new kernel (Linux). When all tested and running fine, they will replace NT kernel and switch the emulation layer the other way around - to emulate Window environment for "old" Windows applications with running Linux kernel beneath.
Windows developers already liked Git, bash, maybe they started to like WSL as developing environment. As a bonus everything will run faster, more reliably and will get file system which finally doesn't fragment and corrupt, files not getting locked, network stack will be perfect, ditto memory management. Even containers will work. Even viruses will get confused.

One monopolist complains from a monopoly. How times changed.
Because a "distro" is running without actual Linux kernel running, how simple is that.
That is why Apple is a phone company now.

They should be penalising them for misleading the investors (like they did with Musk)
That is because you've never lived in communist country.

Microsoft keeps track of how you're using Windows, not the contents.
How do you know that?!
B1. There's no good replacement for Outlook.
Yes, Outlook via Citrix works even on Chromebooks, cellphones and tablets (probably on smart watches too).
Remember French revolution, this time, the guillotines will be high tech - with LAN interface and laser sharpen blades.
Microkernels are the most secure ones because nobody uses them (out of labs).
Talking about Windows TCO.

So the better one is by obscurity (closed source)?! How many people can do reviews if the code is not open - ~0.
Then imagine Debian.

Please buy our CPUs, the company is now under new management.
Also if the brakes are simply under sized, how is that fixed with a firmware update?
With little bit help of electro motor for example. Engaging the motor in braking can actually allow to reduce size of brakes even further.
Time to upgrade Linux kernel from 2.6 to 4.15
