New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0
My goal in life is to have a psychiatric disorder named after me.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

It's not like there is other realistic alternative (don't let Microsoft know) for me. So I for one welcome my Windows #Whatevers.

Fail is a relative term.
A real failure would be for a viable alternative OS to become available and start to displace Windows. For that to occur the alternative must:
- Be relatively simple to setup and use
- Be open for expansion to hardware vendors
- Support any combination of hardware configurations
- Be able to run ~10 years worth of backwards compatible Windows software.
*** Win the support of developers
IMO Linux is the only one that even comes close to meeting those requirements. Unfortunately, there is no consensus between its users. All of which prefer there own distros that may or may not be compatible with other variations of the OS.
I have no idea what the future holds, but I would hate to see the open box general PC model disappear and give way to these closed and fixed tablet / All-in-one computing devices.

Oh it won't fail on it's own merits. It's just great and I'm an old fart set in his start menu ways.
If 10 fails (And that mean I guess rejuvenates the "platform") it will only because that era is over.
And I think it is. More and more the people who come into our shop with computers for us to fix are older.

That's because the older folks with computers to fix are not part of the 'tech-savy' or 'throw-away' societies.
The younger folks are either fixing it themselves, or just buying new ones.

Nu - uh
They are using tablets and moreover their phones.
Kids don't know how to fix em - not at least up here on this mountain.

If you don't like Windows 10 when it comes out just stick to Windows 9
|

I do notice that it still reports itself as version 6 on the command line.
|
|

Perhaps there are two separate version paths. One tells the version number from the marketing point of view and the other one from the technical point of view.

Google ignored Microsoft’s calls for flexible vulnerability disclosure deadlines and released details of another unpatched Windows flaw, leaving users exposed for at least the next 25 days. Now, now children. Learn to play fair.

That attitude should tell you enough about the safety of any cloud.

Perl already won once - in the nineties it was the technology that powered the whole web. To limited definition of 'won'
By that argument, MS-DOS "won", so there is no need to learn anything else.
|
|
|
|
|
COBOL won first. Without COBOL there would be no Perl.
|
|
|
|
|
Machine language won. Without it there would be nothing else...
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q.

Lack skills yourself? A new website allows you to find a hacker in minutes for revenge against an ex or to take down local competition. "Just ring 36-24-36, hey I lead a life of crime"

Should have saved that for Tuesday.

I would be funny if someone came out with a new language and called it Tuesday...

Today we're happy to announce TypeScript 1.4. With TypeScript 1.4, we've continued to build new features that help you work with more JavaScript patterns, create richer typings, and use new ES6 features. Now even more typey. Or is it scripty?
