    Try tigerVNC and get back to me.

    Sadly the speed of light as not improved one bit since those days. That means once you get far enough away the delay will be clear as day to even the slowest human.

    The speed of light is not your friend.

    You can already do that if you are close enough to the end point. A few hundred miles is pretty much the limit before the delay between input and even occurring is too painful for gaming.

    Because youtube is not interactive.
    This means it can cache to get to 1080p and that temporary slowdowns are of no concern. With RDP/X11/SPICE you have to have an interactive connection. That means anything you do to get a smoother desktop like caching ends up making the interaction slower.

    Remote does not mean not on the same LAN.

    Reality disagrees.

    Look at fishing fleets. They fish until extinction because the biggest catch this month is best for each individual participating. As a whole it kills their industry. This has happened to the atlantic cod and will soon happen to the bluefin.

    No, he did not consider it. He was going to use WinPhone no matter what.

    If you have no other options a knife fight is a fine choice. LG seems to be doing fine as well. Dell is trying again and moto finally seems to have some traction with the X.

    The N900 could have been the beginning of going their own way. It at least would have given them a chance at something.

    Elop wanted WinPhone to succeed, Nokia was secondary to that.

    We tried other garish colors as well. None were acceptable. They simply could not tell the difference they claimed. Only having different looking browsers would do.

    IE8 is not is it?
    IE10/11 I will grant you are fine, but even IE9 is not.

    It is clear you are just an idiot. I might hate MS, but their AD management tools are first rate, if you never go outside their little world. Sometimes you have to travel off the reservation.

    Ahem, brother.

    We even for a lark tried two firefox sessions and made massive changes, like different color schemes. They still claimed it was confusing. How can you confuse the windows that are numbered and one is bright pink the other green?

    What?
    He osborned the company while it was still profitable. He put out the N900 and let it flounder even when it outsold the windows phones.

    He refused to even consider android, when it would have been possible to make their Linux Phones compatible with it.

    Sure but your use case is not everyones use case.

    Heck, we have a department that runs IE and Firefox for the dumbest reason ever: They need two separate browser sessions and having two copies of any one browser open at a time confused them. Yes, we changed the title bar, and colors and anything else you can imagine. They literally were confused because they look similar.

    We started this a long time ago. Chrome was not an option then. It only came out in 2008.

    Nope, but IE has more than its fair share.

    He did that for a reason. He was trying to promote WinPhone at all costs. Nokia was an acceptable loss. He has no interest in risking Microsoft. That is his team.

    I am a busy corporate sysadmin.
    That is why I am saying this. I am using firefox for a lot of folks as IE cannot properly render the web sites these employees have to use.

    Serious organization normally means lots of deadwood and you and I both know it.

    To clarify, we have webapps that for obvious reasons do not run on IE. It was cheaper to make firefox work for us than to make all the IE needed workarounds.

    Yes I have a valid business case. Preventing automatic updates is not hard.

    You can't secure IE or Office by that metric at all. Just today I read about another zero day using tiffs.

    You run those things via Remote Desktop or use multiple IE installs. I know those suck, but they suck less than using IE8 everywhere.
