Sounds like a clever way out of a bad status meeting...
Boss: I've asked every week for a month now, when will it be ready?
Newb: Code complete, HandleEverything!
Boss: It handles everything? Are you sure?
Newb: Yes! HandleEverything.
Boss: Great, ship it!
...
QA: Hi newb, I thought you said it wasn't ready?
Newb: No, HandleEverything! Boss said ship it, so if you don't pass it, it's all your fault.
QA: Boss said ship it? Ok, I'll sign off based on that feedback.

As developers embrace new programming languages, older languages can go one of two ways: stay in use, despite fading popularity, or die out completely. We predict the following languages will likely die. "The fear of death is worse than death."

Oh no Visual Basic is set for the chop block, there will be a lot of unhappy campers and then there will be those like me that will say what took so long? Don't let the door...

No big deal, my language isn't on the list

A reader has sent along the results of his script-based analysis of the top feedback requests for Windows 10 in the Windows Technical Preview. And it won't surprise you to discover that the most popular requests are an interesting mix of common sense ideas and superficial changes. "Make a beautiful boot screen"?! Priorities, people!

Well, that betta fish was just too cute, wasn't it? 
But, seriously: "1. Let us move or disable the new search and/or taskview buttons." I mean, what? OK, there's not need for the search button as there is already the search option in the Start menu, but taskview? They finally bring the Desktops feature (virtual desktops) into the core OS, and no one likes it?

Multiple desktops seems to be a love or hate feature. I'd estimate about 1/3rd to 1/2 of my penguin friends love it; the remainder don't care. Personally I've never seen the need; but then again I've always preferred just having enough space on the taskbar (multiple big monitors FTW) that everything is available at one time. OTOH I'd change my mind if I had the option on my main system instead of just a VM/live CD/etc that I elephant around with every once in a while. On the gripping hand, assuming I could pry more ram out of corporate IT, I think I'd be more likely to benefit at work when I'm working on multiple projects in one week. Sadly I doubt they'll be upgrading off Win7 until EoL starts looming in another 4ish years.

Remember the days when you would head out to the store to pick up the latest version of Windows, on DVD, for something like $130? Or if you were unlucky enough to not qualify for upgrade pricing, maybe even $239? Those days might seem in the distant past, but in reality Microsoft is still charging for upgrades between major versions even as of Windows 8.1.

Quote: Imagine Windows 10 was made free for all users from Vista and up – the install base would quickly shift to the latest version (just like OS X users, or iOS users flock to the latest release), meaning less legacy support for Microsoft and the ability to tout larger numbers. The company could simply have a separate version and a requirement for those using Windows in business scenarios.
Pushing free upgrades all the way down to XP would be a good idea; but until the average sheeple gets a PC with automatic new version installation enabled by default I don't see the upgrade latency significantly improving. Installing the initial upgrade would be too much work and too scary.

Chakra now has a highly streamlined execution pipeline to deliver faster startup, supports various new and augmented optimizations in Chakra’s Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler to increase script execution throughput, and has an enhanced Garbage Collection (GC) subsystem to deliver better UI responsiveness for apps and sites.

Instead of JavaScript engine, they need to make IE better. I am pretty sure JavaScript would run much much better.

What is wrong with IE now in v11? It is fast, pretty much standards compliant... I would be interested in it's current lacking.

It's well behind[^] Google and Mozilla's latest efforts; and was behind when it first launched[^] as well.

I don't see any standard-required advantages of the other browsers in your list - only extra, non-standard features which have been the problem with all browsers from the beginning. I work on cross platform development and I have the most problems with Firefox, Safari and Chrome (in that order) as far as proper behaviour is concerned. Since IE 11, I have had little or no issues compared to the others.
