The proportion of Windows XP users actually rose in January, according to NetMarketShare figures.
They hit it with six shots, and it's still alive!

Unless you believe net market share's precision is better than .25%  ; all the chuckleheads reporting on the XP revival are confusing sampling noise for a signal. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Together they fashioned a general purpose programming language that was also suited to advanced mathematics and statistics and could run at speeds rivaling C, the granddaddy of the programming world. What, another "one language to rule them all"?

...and in the darkness bind them.

This defense of our own choices and ideas is core to human nature. It is easy for us to adopt a new idea but we religiously defend the ones we have without needing much evidence to back it up. The problem is we tend to tie up our ideas about things with our identity and even our value as human beings. "Burn the heretic, Kill the mutant, Purge the unclean."

Prove it.
I'll also add that OpenVMS is the very best operating system and Windows and all other "personal" operating systems are utter crap for enterprise work. But Windows pays the bills so I use that.

I haven't used OpenVMS but VMS rules, used it a lot back in the hay day of DEC.

Hot on the heels of last week’s Opera 19 for Android release, Opera 19 for Mac and Windows (based on Chromium 32) is out! Here’s what that means for web developers. Everyone's non-least favourite browser would like to remind everyone it still exists
|
|
|
|

As a long time Opera 12.x user, I'm still waiting for an indication of when they'll decide the Chromium based version is mature enough for an official switch over.
With them not offering an automatic update, I'm assuming they've still got enough stuff that's TBD that it's not considered ready for primetime yet.

Microsoft has apparently finally admitted that Windows 8's dueling tablet-PC interface was a mistake, because reports say that in the upcoming 8.1 update Windows will bypass the Start screen and boot straight to the desktop. "The complaining customer represents a huge opportunity for more business."
|
|
|
|
|
That new update still will not save it.
There will still be a navigation problem that the new UI introduced.
|
|
|
|
|
Seems it up:
There is a solution, and it's a simple one: Follow Apple's lead and design one OS for traditional computers and another one for tablets. But there's no sign Microsoft is willing to do that with Windows 8. If we're lucky, maybe it will happen with Windows 9 or beyond.
