Yes, because Windows makes it oh so easy to move user profiles to other volumes.
For Linux users, it's really easy:
mount -o rw/dev/sdb1/mnt/tmp
mv/home/./mnt/tmp/home
ls -lh/home #to make sure everything moved.
mount -o rw/dev/sdb1/home (ideally, add,acl to enable access control lists)
. . . then add it to fstab to make it permanent.
On Windows, each user has to go to each individual folder and move it - and only lets you move certain folders. To do it globally it requires registry edits, which Joe Sixpack will inevitably screw up.
I'm sure Joe Sixpack would be quite confused with those Linux shell commands too.
Well, Microsoft bringing the Start Menu back is quite huge news, so of course it has to be reported. But anyway, if you want front page news of your favorite topics, the only way is to submit them, or vote up articles submitted by others in the firehose.
But we cannot abandon projects just because of the fear that there might be attacks against it. Then make it secure. Or try your best, at least. That's all we have.
Hmm, that seems to be in the same network (127.0.0.1/8) as the Rosetta probe, so I assume the IP is some important server in the ESA network. I'm launching my hack toolkit there right now...aahhahhhahh NO CARRIER
I welcome them. YouTube needs a realistic competitor. Why I say realistic is because there are already a good bunch of similar video sites but they have hard time rivaling YouTube.
The YouTube support for both watchers and content creators is terrible. If there's a technical problem in the site, good luck contacting anyone. Same thing for video makers: your channel might get flagged as infringing (and thus closed) completely automatically, based on some random troll viewer doing the flagging maliciously. After that, sorting out the situation is rather painful.

What the heck?
For Windows 8 users, you need a couple of Gig just to get the machine off of the ground.
Windows 8 requires about 600MB to get the machine off of the ground (an empty desktop with the default set of services running).
Figure 500MB-1GB for an email program kept open all day
An e-mail program will easily fit under 100MB.
It is very rare for any browser to consume over 512MB even if you had 50 tabs open. Try and see yourself.
Why would malware grab large amounts of RAM?
Agree. I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't even notice if one day their SATA3 SSD dropped to SATA1 mode.
Also, while dragging files on your desktop, you can hold Ctrl to change whether the files are moved or copied.
That's a tough thing to ask, as most websites are primarily funded with advertisements.

It is indeed possible that Satya Nadella did what had to be done.
Desktop Linux never exploits those opportunities properly.
What do you mean? It's extremely easy.
Yeah, I agree, the concept is a bit of asking for trouble.
It was relaxing to wait and dream about the great game downloading, slowly watching the bytes add up, and sipping coffee.
Just make it display Google Street View imagery based on your orientation and GPS coordinates.

Try some different kind of trolling. That "foam-mouth angry AC" is kind of old trick already.
And of course, the Linux kernel.
There is also HSP readily waiting for when they need to pull up the next bullshit acronym.
It feels like Zuck has so much money to spend that he thought he'd get himself an expensive new toy.
That is all it feels to me too.

Aahh, I really must stop drinking this Microsoft kool-aid.

It is essentially 100% secure if you do not install spurious software and keep the OS and browser relatively up-to-date.
