* throw away current models and OS * Make deal with Apple to rebadge iPhones as Windows Phones, adding in utilities to make them enterprise-friendly
Microsoft's failing is that they have been trying to copy Apple in some ways and UNIX in other ways, and have been reinventing both very poorly. They also took the best aspects of WindowsCE and threw them away, rather than retaining what was really good about Windows Mobile/WinCE and just adding what was needed. Lastly, in their scramble to try to (re-)gain entry into the smartphone and tablet market, they made the boneheaded decision to take a UI which is great for a handheld touch device and force it on the desktop, completely destroying what has made Windows usable since Microsoft Windows 2.0's biggest selling point (overlapping windows!)
Considering it pragmatically over the long term, trading is too fast when it amounts to betting or surfing rather than investing. Day trading and high frequency trading is not what public trading was intended for. It was designed to raise money for product R&D, and in exchange the people who fund the development will (hopefully) reap a return, either in a greatly increased share price down the line, or in the form of profit sharing (dividends). High frequency trading benefits only the brokers and a very select few "investors"[sic], and over the long term is bad for our economy and bad for our nation, because we have long ago forgotten the value of hard work, betterment of our nation, and improving things as a whole for everyone. It seems like everything is now born of a sense of an entitlement: "Gimmegimmegimme!" and nothing more.
The baby boomers have ruined everything for us, and for future generations. Thanks, guys.
FWIW, I'm happy with VPN+IMAP with the iPhone. I'm not interested in having to purchase, install, and maintain RIM's crap software + exchange + windows to use a Crackberry when a Linux box running Scalix or Exim works just as well with the iPhone - for free.:-)
What better way to prepare children for the future by teaching them what career burnout is by grade 6? That way, they can gain an early appreciation for how utterly pointless it is to work as many days a year as Americans do. It's unhealthy, stressful, and painful.
Europeans are much smarter because they take a lot more holiday/vacation time.
That just isn't true; you still need a flightworthiness certificate from the FAA in order to register and (legally) fly the plane. The exceptions are for ultralights, sport aircraft, and aircraft which remain tethered to the ground (see: moller Skycar) or never leave ground effect (see: hovercraft and ground effects planes such as the Ekranoplane - which would be registered as boats).
No, but seriously, it's probably more likely that terrorists will use cell phones on planes to coordinate attacks then interference.
Right, because terrorists would not attack anything were there laws prohibiting such attacks, ergo they would obey the electronics restrictions were they in place. The ONLY thing stopping them right now is not the fear of being killed by legitimate passengers, but the silly restriction against using electronics which CAN NOT and DO NOT interfere with properly-installed-and-maintained avionics.
I want the Windows 7/Vista start menu. Not some art-deco tiled mess sprawled across the screen that requires that I install four monitors just to view it all. Your idiotic Metro (or whatever the hell you Microserfs call it now) start menu is a godawful mess. Here is what I have installed:
Adobe CS Lightroom Singer embroidery software Canon photo suites (DPP, ZoomBrowser, Canon EOS utility, etc) Topaz Labs plugins (Various ones) Inkscape Gimp LibreOffice Putty and Putty Commander 7zip Mozilla Firefox Mozilla Thunderbird CCleaner iTunes Malwarebytes UltraDefrag Adobe Reader X Quicktime Handbrake Brother P-Touch Editor Canon Picture styles Editor CDBurnerXP Comodo Internet Security Cyberlink Media Suite Cyberlink Power2Go Cyberlink PowerDirector Cyberlink PoweDVD 9 Cyberlink PowerProducer D-Link SmartConsole Utility Filezilla Google Chrome Greenshot Pidgin PTPublisher Safari Google Earth DVDFab SureThink CD Labeler Tera Term VMLite Workstation WinISO WinSCP Xenu Link Sleuth XU4 Minecraft
On top of that I have a slew of utilities from Dell, Intel, Samsung, NVidia, Xerox, Ricoh, not to mention various builds of NVR and DVR software suites as well as visual studio, AND video codec and transcoding and video NLE utilities in addition to what is listed above. On Windows 8 my start menu would be a bloody mess. I wish I could run Linux + KDE full time but I can't, so failing that I really like Windows 7 (the first version of Windows I've actually liked since Win95) - ESPECIALLY the start menu and least crappy Window management of any Windows version to date, and now Microsoft wants us to leap backward to 1985's way of doing things?
Why isn't it common? Well, it turns out that no one works that way. Most people work with apps in full-screen, switching between them when needed. For those rare weirdo's who do want more than one window open on the display at once, they don't want the OS deciding how to arrange their windows.
Based on your post, I can only assume that you're still running a VGA monitor and haven't seen today's 1920x1200, 1920x1080, and 2560x1440 monitors. You should really check them out. The other options are either that you are an entry-level receptionist using the oldest computer at the company, or you're one of the PHBs at Microsoft who thinks going back to the Windows 1.0 way of doing things is a really neat idea.;)
The huge advancement Windows 2.0 brought was overlapping windows, and it was a big deal because it fosters efficient workflow. I often have 5 or more applications open at once on one monitor, all about half to three quarters the screen size and another app or two almost screen size on the second monitor, and doing lots of editing: code/scripts, config files, spreadsheets, and documentation in writer, not to mention a browser window with multiple tabs open - as well as a few smaller windows with ssh sessions open. Forcing Metro on me would send me back to Linux full time (I run primarily Windows now because Lightroom, Adobe CS and embroidery software at home keep me tied to Windows).
Not quite so easy if it's a security Torx. That center pin blocks your flathead pretty well.
Sure, it will block the flathead screwdriver, but but any tech, electrician, or professional crook will have a set of security torx bits on hand - or simply pry or grind out the center pin. Those fasteners only provide a false sense of security.
Torx fasteners have not been obscure for at least 20 years. Torx have been used on cars for at least that long. Besides, torx fasteners that size are easy to "defeat" with a simple flat screwdriver.
This is another good reason to stick with Windows 7, giving Windows 8 a miss.
One common use of the hosts file is to test staging servers, particularly web servers before pushing them live, and without the complexity and time it takes to set up an additional DNS server.

When Triumph was asked "What do you think of logging bathroom times on the new timesheets?" All he said was "It's great, for me to poop on!"
How Windows Phone can succeed:
* throw away current models and OS
* Make deal with Apple to rebadge iPhones as Windows Phones, adding in utilities to make them enterprise-friendly

My only point is that DRM only hurts paying customers, and doesn't hinder professional/habitual "pirates" in the least bit.
Haven't the "pirates'[sic] already done that? I'm sure you could find DRM-free versions of their game on torrent sites by now.

$1,268.00 for the lowest tier offering limited to 32GB RAM, or Xen or KVM with no such limitation?
Tough decision there.

I have to admit, this idea is pretty cool. :-)
