google was so rude about making me use google+ in areas where I did not want to use it, that I stopped using it altogether.
Now I notice that I cannot even reply to comments left on my youtube.com video channel, even though I am logged into my youtube.com account. I suspect the reason has something to do with the fact that I've all but abandoned my google+ account.

...Does any other popular consumer OS get that level of support?...
The real question is: does any other popular consumer OS need that level of support?
.
If Microsoft did not mess up the "next version" as much as they have done, there wouldn't be the need to stick with a particular version for so long.
As an alternative case in point, my three Windows PCs tend to stay with a version until that version is no longer supported. While my single Macmini has had the OS upgraded to the newer version a few times, and all at no cost or bad experiences to me.
With the Macmini, the OS upgrade to the next version has been a fairly smooth experience, as opposed to a Windows OS upgrade to the next version which is more of a traumatic experience.
Maybe that is the cause to the need to have long support cycles for Windows OS versions?
... take some of its dominance of the desktop world...
Outside of the enterprise world, is Microsoft really dominant on the desktop anymore?
. Anecdotally, it looks like Microsoft is losing its dominance in the consumer desktop world to Apple, i.e., Microsoft no longer enjoys the 90+% marketshare on the consumer desktops that it once had.
I understand the difference you say. But so long as we are talking about loopholes, you also neglected to mention the loophole that allows market researchers to cold call.

imo, when you go for that last nanosecond of accuracy as the highest priority and lower the priority of writing secure software to the point where it is no longer a priority, then you have ntp.
.
On my internal network, I used ntp as the ntp server for my house. I put "listen interface" in the ntp.conf file, and instructed it to listen only on the 10.1.1.1 interface. yet netstat showed that ntp was still listening on *:123. It's sloppy design and sloppy coding.
When I see things like that right in front of me, I am left to wonder about the quality of the code that I cannot see.
.
I have ten servers for which the 100 millisecond accuracy of OpenNTPD is perfectly fine. I have one server where I may need more accuracy than that.
So I'd rather run the risk of having only one server with the bloated mess of ntp, and having a valid alternative for my other ten servers.
...Sorry, but this is just blatant "Look at us, we run an NTP project that's secure" when actually it does less than 10% of what ntpd does.
...
Sorry, but your comment is just a blatant, "Look at us, the ntp project provides more accuracy, so just ignore everything else that is wrong with it."
To my eyes, it looks like the ntp project is the arrogance of the openssl project all over again.

And which version of Visual Basic is being used in the class? The old versions that worked, or the re-architected versions that suck?
I think you're missing the part where the GUI and the OS are two different things.
Yes, they are two different things. But in the world of Windows, no one really cares that they are two things.
It's Windows. Period.

No.

If they do (and that's a big if, as I'm not convinced they will), then I would expect the BSD maintainers to arrive at a better solution.
