Clearly you haven't being paying attention to the latest out of Intel or the Computex announcements. The Medfield chips are at parity with top end ARM chips in terms of performance and efficiency. We aren't looking at 5 years out, we are looking at whenever Windows 8 launches and brings a slew of new x86 hybrids with it.
So hothardware goes out of their way to make their system look as shitty as possible. Every one of those screens can be cleaned up and customized. They also fail to note that the start menu search still works the same way it did before.
So you are going to point out some 1 line marketing snippet, take it completely out of context, and then extrapolate it to mean that Microsoft is selling private consumer data to various governments. Please elaborate because I feel like I'm missing something here.
I have used many different Linux distributions since 1985
You have been using Linux 6 years before it even existed? Impressive. Clearly your hacker skills are far beyond mine. Could you please tell me what computing will look like in a decade? I have some money to spend on stocks.

I think that falls under "I hope to the great FSM that I never have to maintain your code."
It worked out pretty well. They sold at least 330 million copies. I would love for my software to be such a flop.
That's great and all, but it's clearly an edge case that a very small percent of people want/need.
Yes because that configuration is so incredibly popular these days. Seriously, do you ever leave the basement?
I don't own an iDevice, not sure why you think I do. "It happens on the AppStore too!" is not a valid excuse for crap.
And you don't seem to think that it's a problem that an obvious spyware / copyright infringement app was trending in the official app store?

If you can't pin down every data stream spewing from a "pure" install of your operating system, can you be sure it doesn't have private information?
Well good thing you read the link. I was starting to think I would have to explain it for you.

VS2012 isn't even in public beta yet.
Yes it is. It's even supported for production code. They just don't call it 2012 yet since the RTM date hasn't been set.
No they are suing for violating patents. The fact that the software involved happens to be open source is irrelevant.
Hmmm ctrl+f for fire, flame and ignite turn up nothing. Cool reference bro?

Indeed. For example I would say that discouraging someone from posting because they hold a different opinion is being an asshole.
It's the people who purposefully comment on threads about products they DON'T like that create a problem.
Agreed. Nothing like a good echo chamber.
Did we ever really stop? ;)
I said distributing is a special case of using. Not one of those terrible analogies even touched that.
Distributing is a form of using.
You should probably tell Ferrari that, since buying one requires that you agree to not repainting it. http://forums.testdriveunlimited2.com/showthread.php?t=32835
it doesn't restrict how you use the software in any way
It only restricts redistribution of derived works
Nice doublethink bro.
It took you ten years to learn how to share a printer over SMB? WTF?
So you are using home premium SKU aimed at basic home users and complaining about missing enterprise and power user features. Huh?
Libraries only indeed. They spent most of their development effort on variadic templates but came up short. Herb Sutter addressed this in one of his talks at Going Native. The gcc guys aren't exactly finished either.
The building windows 8 blog goes into fairly good detail on the decisions they make and how they make them. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/10/03/evolving-the-start-menu.aspx
