Well if MS can make mobile devices more productive for the businesses... then there's something good coming out of new CEO.
Usability next Windows does matter a lot, even with this mobile and cloud focus. The PC platform is starting to recover a bit, mostly due to Windows XP demise.
Well agenda to force tabs on top (next to title bar) upon all users has won... you no longer even have option to move them between address bar and web content. Last few versions had at least configuration option buried in about:config. Maybe not a big deal, but to me it requires more mouse movement from content to tab switching - which is opposite of what good UI design is.
Forcing bad UI to users : how did it work for Microsoft, Mozilla?
64K tech people have jobs, so they are not as desperate as Apple and Google are to not get their dirty laundry out. And since both companies have more cash than US gov't, obviously this was never going to trial.
Interestingly, Apple posted quarterly financials today... so how much this has cost them we won't know for 90 days... and even then it will probably be well hidden.
so baddies have been warned, they have plenty of time to apply corrective actions. And employees with nothing to hide will be only ones affected by this.
Verizon and others would love you to upgrade your device so often. Usually if you want latest and greatest, that would be only way.
For example, device I bought in late 2011, came with Android 2.3 and had only one upgrade - to 4.0. Yet I'm still on the contract, and there were 4 Android releases. Thanks to mods and CM, I got very stable version of Android 4.3, and I intend to keep my device for a while. Thanks to Verizon and HTC, I got not much for my money.
This is one area where Apple excels, their device commonly have up to 3 yrs of updates.
Dell has one less thing to worry about: quarterly profits and revenue. This is right thing for struggling or declining companies. "analysts" won't bug them every moth how their market is shrinking and sales declining. Bet employees will feel safer too without threats of layoffs every time they don't meet "expectations"

2.14 was way better.
It is not a bug, it is a feature..
It was supposed to always BSOD in this case! MS fixed the bug so it finally BSODs. ;)

... but Microsoft had to use lots of FSF tools such as ... gcc. When they have their own compiler toolchains.
That must had to smell like defeat.
to "latest and greatest" version of Windows in 2014 either.
MS may as well start selling retail copies of Win 7 again
So good test should catch this goto fail for sure, either functional test or an unit test. Looks like neither are thorough for the library.
Bot more importantly, if static analysis or structural coverage of code was done, both would point out that there is something wrong with the code.
All of these testing strategies should be done for such s critical piece of software.

If you're mafia, or Apple.

Maybe Heaven is just a better simulation...

and when we are already there, favorite version of Windows?
Model based development.
You design the model, simulink makes the code.

they just changed it to password2
Both Eclipse and Netbeans do parse the code using gcc parser
https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/cnd/HowTos.html

Huh? QCreator, Netbeans and Eclipse C/C++ IDEs are fully integrated with GCC, including both debugging and compilation.
You get them made from your own designs in Taiwan, which is not exactly PRC.
How hard it would be to decrypt, knowing that each pin is exactly 4 digits?
I would think if salting was not using, it is just a matter of the time.
Netbeans - although their focus is Java, C/C++ support is great.
Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, Eric Schmidt ;)
none?
NSA already does this, how else you think they process all that data?

...you get to see the tip of the iceberg
It is easier to find who NSA doesn't spy... so far that list is []
