Please face reality. It may have been a nice idea, but obviously, after all this time, will never become practical. Better to concentrate on the rest of their software, and the Linux kernel.
I was going to post this myself, but you beat me to it!
It is truly amazing how many people in the world do not know the difference between "Whisky" and "Whiskey"! Of course, the US blurs the distinction, as different whiskies distilled here, use different spellings!
For the misinformed among us: Scotland, Japan, Canada, (Some) US and others use "Whisky". Ireland, (Most) US, and others use "Whiskey"
Microsoft PC systems only? What about Macs, Linux, Android, other systems??? I fear MS has are more concerned about their own agendas, then they are about giving students a proper CS education!
I believe that Microsoft has contracts with some states that ONLY allow Microsoft based PC's to be used in schools.
Would you like to discuss all the vulnerabilities in Windows various versions, that has led to MILLIONS of different Malware??? Why doesn't Mickey$oft fix most of these??? They simply refuse!!!
I will take Linux, Open Source and Free Software any day of the week, and will deal with any flaws that come up. They are usually corrected quite quickly, and in this case, I am sure they spent a lot of time testing to inure all is fixed.
I sleep very well at night using Linux, and NOT using Windows software as much as humanly possible.

Stop using Windows on ALL ATM terminals, and other systems!
And "Unauthorized" ones as well! ;^)
"There are concerns that KDE may not always remain open source."
Can you provide references for this statement? I have never heard any rumors of KDE going Closed Source! Not sure it is even possible!
What "Smartphone Business"???
;^)
Are they serious? Yes, unfortunately, they are!
The original version will do enough damage that leaving out "--no-preserve-root" won't matter!

Not me!

He should have been forced to post this on every package Mickey$oft ever produced!
They have done so much with securing their systems in the past, how can they possibly fail? ;^)
What more can I say?
What do you really expect from Mickey$oft? The only thing they care about is separating you from your money! They have been doing that since 1981!
If you trust them you get what you deserve!
I suspect this is being planned as we speak.
Now if we could also remove Trump from the running...
It hurts when I do this!

I hope not! Too many systems are! Banks are still using Windows on ATM's!
I can't imagine the lawyers haven't been working overtime. What Mickey$oft is doing is illegal!
This invasion of privacy even when allegedy turned off is nothing short of insane!
Not really. I would rather go back to Windows 7, that is, if I actually ran Windows at all! I prefer to have my computers run Debian Linux only!
And:
â€oe640K ought to be enough for anyone†â€" Bill Gates
My fear is that they will disallow the use of Linux computers in the schools, and ONLY allow Windows based systems!!!
I would NOT like to have my children be denied the choice of O/S to use!
Think about it!

Toshiaki Endo tenders his resignation, effective immediately. Says he needs to spend more time with his family.
Just because YOU don't want to want to run Linux on a Laptop, does NOT mean NO ONE does!!! Many of us PREFER Linux OVER Windoze.
/., Linux, and the Open Source community.
I have been running Debian Linux on Laptops, Desktops, and Severs for at least 10 years with great success!
So go back to running Windoze, and just ignore
Perhaps you need to d/l and compare the latest version of LO to MS Office, then come back and gives us your unbiased opinion.
Is that anything like "Malware"?
If not, what is "Manware"?
Let me see if I have this straight. First you say:
;^)
"Not only it contains code that seems to have been written by retards but, in addition, it exposes the worst API I have ever seen."
But later you say:
"People can point out issues even if they are not capable of providing fixes for them. Not everyone is a coder, you elitist asshat."
First you claim to be an expert on source code analysis, but later you admit, or claim NOT to be a programmer!
ROTFLMAO!!!
And it does not surprise me at all that you completely missed my point, "Anonymous Coward"
