It does apply to Windows Pro (unless you count that as a consumer version?). But I expect there will be plenty of small businesses who are running Windows 7/8.1 Pro, and not volume licensing, and they will be eligible.

I do. You can go out to the store and buy a copy. That makes it a consumer version. You can't get Windows Enterprise/Education without signing a support contract. Those're business versions.

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?

We'll wait for, at least, Windows 10.1 to be released.

Developers will be able to have their apps talk to the locally installed antivirus programs through a new API. "I have completed long range scans. There are no other life forms are present in this system."

Knowing how the AV's work I don't see how it can do much better than what they do now.

We’re so excited to announce a new partnership between Microsoft and virtual reality pioneer Oculus VR. I'm sure the Hololens team is delighted at the news

We are here because the editor of this magazine asked me, “Can you tell me what code is?” Long read (but I believe in you!), and you know how it ends, but amusing in places

Skype today announced it is consolidating its two Windows apps. The Microsoft-owned company will be retiring its Windows modern app on July 7; users of the app will be pushed to the Windows desktop application instead. They had me excited there for a little while with "Retiring Skype"

I liked Windows Live Messenger a lot better...since they kicked us to Skype we dumped them and use TeamViewer and Cisco WebEx.

Add up all those little chunks of time you spend in a phone or tablet app and it now approaches two full days. That's almost double what it was just two years ago. Of course most of that is time spent updating apps

Facebook today announced that it is open sourcing Infer, a static program analyzer the company uses to find bugs in mobile code before it’s shipped. "You fail, however, to reason from what you see. You are too timid in drawing your inferences."
