I don't think Facebook's and Zuckerberg situation is anything new, historically speaking.
It seems very similar to me to the power that newspaper conglomerate owners held over the past few centuries in America: William Randolph Hurst, Rupert Murdoch, etc.
Seems to me that if the FBI has $25k to offer in reward money, it would be better spent on recovering the stolen cars of people who can barely make ends meet and needed their cars to get to work.
but this is a major boost to Windows 10 as a developer OS.
Perhaps temporarily. We have no reason to doubt that Microsoft has repented of its Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy.
Or to say it differently: the leaders of Microsoft are bad people. They are as a group selfish, anti-social, and willing to break the law and steel from the public for their own personal gain. They are not worthy of any trust or benefit of doubt.
I've heard some people claim that even Enterprise Edition phones home sometimes, regardless of settings that a competent admin might provide. Since I've heard that the DoD version may be entirely free of phoning home, I'm not sure the DoD version is precisely the Enterprise Edition.
Also, I've heard people refer to "long-term support" versions of Windows that the DoD and maybe enterprises can get. I'm not sure if that's the same thing as Enterprise Edition or not.
You're really listing trademarks rather than requirements there
It was short-hand. I wasn't looking to start a Yet Another Conversation about why some professionals will not be moving away from Photoshop and Lightroom.
Another reason to move to either Linux or Mac O/S. Games are the only reason to stay with Microsoft unfortunately
And Photoshop + LightRoom, for those of us who (1) can't easily afford a Mac and (2) must use actual Photoshop + LightRoom and (3) have color-calibration hardware that doesn't necessarily do the right thing when Windows is running as a guest OS.
I'm still trying to figure out if I can safely move my wife's photo editing workstation to Linux. It needs to run the Adobe Creative Cloud versions of Photoshop and Lightroom, us third party plug-ins, plus screen color calibration software (and hardware).
If I can make that all work, the next stop after Windows 7 is Linux for that system.
(Please don't suggest alternatives to PS for her needs. For various reasons that ain't happening.)
Most if not all presidential candidates who make it this far in the race will say whatever they thing will get them elected.
Perhaps I'm just unskilled at it, but I'm unable to predict what any President will actually do in office, based on his/her stated positions leading up to the election.

So I assume there's a happy ending where Nadella is badly burned and THEN falls to his death, right?
So rather than being a dick about it, why not contribute a patch to GCC's and/or LLVM's codegens?

Or is that not how these things work?
This code is so poorly documented that Donald Trump wants to send it back to Mexico!
That's not fair. His beef is with access violations.

VirtualBox?
No, it means he'll have the power to fire half of the staff.
Don't forget the insanely awesome (at the time) Fairlight CMI.
Perhaps the Catholic colleges partially exist to minister to the students, whereas Protestant colleges mainly exist to train Christians for ministry?
You mean the enterprise editions?
Maybe, but I'm not certain for a few reasons.

I believe that do, in the form of what they'll sell to the U.S. DoD.
AFAIK, it's just something they won't sell to regular people for regular amounts of money.
I run into the same thing, except in my case it's 1 in 5.
Similar situation for me, except it was 1.5 out of 7.5.
In related news, I could use some money for bail.
For the convenience of Microsoft's customers, the patch for the EMET exploit will also provide a FREE upgrade to Windows 10!
But you repeat yourself :)

From TFA:
In other words they're making it as difficult as possible to avoid upgrading.
Yeah, at this point I think lots of until-recently customers would like to make it easy for Microsoft's executives to walk into a moving baseball bat.
I'd say it doesn't matter what Microsoft does to Windows at this point. You've already won the game :)
Your screed would be more interesting if you invested some word-count in proving that you're not one of those whom at whom you loose such venom.
Step 1) Take money from states' citizens under threat of violence.
Step 2) Only give it back if those states promise to use it in the manner demanded by the federal government.
And because the SCOTUS doesn't admit any limitations on the reasons or extent of federal taxation, the feds can get whatever they want via taxation.
