Windows 10 - the final nail in the coffin for Linux desktop

Read: you'll have to pay for it on an ongoing annual basis. MS have been working on the idea that you don't own your software for years. Oh, and it'll only be a free desktop upgrade for a year, after which you'll have to start paying for it - so the upgrade is kinda a free trial. Oh, and it'll only be free for things with screens 7" or smaller for a while, until people start using in mobile devices, when they will start charging for it. Charging to rent it, that is, not to buy it. Good marketing ploy - just hopefully some of us aren't that dumb. Except that there is no evidence at this point in time that they are going to charge for it after that first year. In fact, they've said the very opposite. It appears that the upgrade is not only free for any user of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 who installs it in its first year of release but also that it will remain supported for as long as that device is used. Put it on a VM. That is what I've done. Unless you are gaming, it's a waste to install a single instance of OS on modern hardware. |

Because of Microsoft, I'm described by people who know me as, The kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being they've ever known in their life. You talking computers or your gay love life? Tell me about this 'gay love life'. I'm curious. In your experience, do you recommend it? Lol! get a room you two. |

The rest couldn't afford to compete. Bull****. What killed Unix is cheap Intel servers that were better than alternatives. And guess what? They don;t run Windows... name one intel based server that doesn't run windows... |

Hmm, I never looked it up myself but are you suggesting that if the processor inside the server is an Intel, it most definitely runs Windows? It seems unlikely to me. -- Slimer Encrypt. |

The rest couldn't afford to compete. Ultrix, OSF/1, Digital Unix, Tru64, all gone. Tru64 was a beast and very reliable. Not thrilled at all with HP-UX or the filthy scumbags from India who are trying to steal our jobs and country. |

Even though linux is free, the general public would rather steal Windows than load linux. Enjoy your malware-ridden warez. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Is Windows really that good, or do we steal it just because we can, and **** all to Bill Gates? Beats me. You'll have to ask your fellow thieves. |

In fact, I think Windows 10 will actually encourage the adoption of some Linux desktops because of the cleaner uncluttered elegant Linux desktop interface. Mint is a great candidate for example. Easily configured too. People said that with XP, repeated it with Vista, echoed it when 7 came out and guaranteed it when 8 came out. No matter what terrible changes Microsoft brought, people _still_ refused to use Linux. It's like using a BMW and they changed the look of the dash and somebody tells you that you can use a Ford Focus instead. You'll stick to BMW because you know that Ford, in general, is awful... just like Linux. Windows 8 was a step backwards into the EGA stone ages complete with Alaskan outhouse. https://indeepalaska.files.wordpress...9/p1000213.jpg |
