Renewals of custom support agreements will boost price to $400 for each Windows XP PC. "House rules: You gotta pay to play."

What I personally find most amusing about this is that embedded versions of XP are still in support until 2019[^]; so it's not even like MS is having to develop extra patches to support the dinosaurs.
When regular XP fell out of support there were even blog posts explaining how to registry hack your copy of XP into requesting patches for the embedded version. As of December[^] it still worked with the main gotcha being 3rd parties pulling the plug.
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?

Given that I don't use Java and I don't use node.js, I find little that is of epic proportions in this battle.

Totally epic: something that works, versus something people think might work.

Just because you don't use either (nor do I) doesn't mean that there's not an epic battle. Software is a big field!

Java is more than just a language. By itself, it's no more useful than C# is by itself. They both come backed with frameworks, and that's where the power is. So, it looks like the article's focusing on the Java ecosystem versus the Node ecosystem.

Sony announced last night that it's spinning off its audio and video divisions, much like it spun off its television division last year. Unless you count the Playstation. I think it contains electronics

You know all that big data that’s streaming into your company from sensors, customers, social media, Excel spreadsheets, and data sources all over the internet? Microsoft wants to help you process all of it, build APIs and make use of that data in the cloud with machine learning technology. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate."

The Linux Foundation has released its 2015 report "Linux Kernel Development: How Fast It is Going, Who is Doing It, What They Are Doing and Who is Sponsoring It." "The workers control the means of production"

IMHO - Their is nothing wrong with corporations being involved with development, as long as it is done correctly. Corporations can contribute much needed capital to hire the proper resources to ensure that something is done correctly.

Has anyone looked at the full report? I'm curious where MS is sitting in the long tail. Their Hyper-V drivers nearly got booted out of the kernel once a few years ago due to neglect triggering a second bust of massive contribution; I'm hoping they're not making the same mistake again.

While the software maker has remained consistently quiet around its timing for cross-platform (universal) apps running on its gaming console, sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that the company will start to allow more and more apps on the Xbox One by the end of the year.
