The references to "long anticipated Surface Phone" made me laugh, as I've never seen any mention of such a beast until reading that article.

Attrition has been a top-of-mind problem especially in the tech industry, where the turnover has been rising every year since 2012. I'd put a blurb here, but the web page I use just changed jobs

To lazy to work, to stupid to steal...sounds like patent trolling is right up your alley.

I'll put it on my list of suggestions for my next job. I wonder if the patent for a button is available?

And right next to Q&A, it is a wonder.

I think I heard once that another troll got a patent for the air we breath.

People who troll (in any way, shape, or form) are demons from the deepest depths of hell. They should be put back there.

Similar to the financial debt crisis facing many nations, the software industry is facing its own debt crisis caused by the continual development of software without the correct quality-control processes in place. You code 16KloC and what do you get?

The four biggest causes are bad architecture choices, overly complex code, a lack of code documentation, and inadequate testing.
Sounds like a description of the open source community.

It really depends on the source. According to http://www.netmarketshare.com[^], Windows XP is still ahead at 10.59% (Windows 10 at 9.00%). Just looking at the difference in numbers, you could speculate that Windows 10 gained about one percent only from XP during the last month, while Windows 7 remains stable at about 56%, but I don't really give much about those stats.

Indeed. Like the title says (by one count).
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell

And if you take a third source[^] which looks at gaming PCs, W10 is solidly in 2nd place and will probably overtake W7 entirely within 2 to 5 months. (2 or 3 months for W10-64 to overtake W7-64, 4-5 for W10-all to overtake W7-all.)

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?

Not surprising. Gamers typically want the fastest hardware possible, which usually translates to the newest hardware. Most of the newest hardware is only available with Win10.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It's mostly upgrades. We might buy a new GPU for our desktop every year or three; but overall system turnover is much lower. A gaming laptop is usable for 3 or 4 years (at progressively declining quality settings) before being fully obsolete. Other than GPU swaps a desktop can last 5-10 years before needing replaced (a Core 2 Quad is still fast enough not to have a significant impact on gaming performance) because something failed. Vista/W7/W8 also showed much faster uptake on Steam than from general web users as well. (Although in Vista's case it had a lot to do with our needing a 64bit OS before most people, and XP-64 just being a re-skinned server 2k3 which had perennial driver problems.)

Agreed, but this source represents a rather narrow point of view - it's basically just what Steam users use, isn't it?
