If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

It's offering the first-ever per-user Windows subscription. I have seen the future, and it involves my credit card
|
|

|

Ugh. I really don't like subscriptions. I imagine a world where my credit card is hit with a couple dozen subscription payments every month. It might seem inexpensive for one product, but think of how much you might be spending per product, per month if most everything went to a subscription model (and not just Microsoft's software.) Software products, IMO, should not be sold like a service unless it's actually a service.

MS Enterprise has been subscription based for many years; this is just the newest version of the same old same old.
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?

If it does happen that end users will have to pay a montly subscription fee, then that'll probably push some into the linux camp...

In a recent interview, John Zachman said: 'If we as enterprise architects are not doing diagnosis and prescription, then we're the technicians; we're just taking x-rays.' So... they need to take your blood pressure and tell you to lose weight?

The Zachman Framework lays the foundation for enterprise architecture, providing a series of classifications based on "What, Where, When, Why, Who and How," cross-indexed by organizational perspectives, including "Executive, Business management, Architect, Engineer, Technician, and Enterprise" perspectives. In the interview, Zachman pointed out that the framework is comparable to the periodic table of elements, which are a series of immutable elements (or "primitives") from which an infinite amount of composites can be created.
Dear Mr. Zachman, it would be really nice if took a look around you and realized how archaic your organizational model concept is. It would also help if you stopped speaking in ridiculous analogies and gibberish like "infinite amount of composites."

That guy is all over the place with his metaphors.
Mentions doctors, then engineering, then chemistry, all of the while using verbs to describe actions that we should be performing.
However, if you go check out his "Highly Regarded" (I would like to know by whom) , Zachman Framework, it says "This is not a process or methodology for how to build something, it's only a predicted structure of patterns that I recognized."
Too bad, I would have bought into the entire concept if he had a Phd after his name

We've heard rumors for some time that Apple's been less than pleased with the purported battery life of its upcoming Apple Watch. And now, it looks as though it has plenty of reason to be worried. According to a new report from 9 to 5 Mac, the Apple Watch the battery is looking at just 2.5 to 4 hours of "active application use" before it dies. Extension cord not included
|
|

|

How can you call watch 'smart' if it can't even show the hour after 4 hours of use?
|
|
|

Smarter than the buyers, for sure.

Linus Torvalds is always happy when developers propose the removal of code from the kernel, especially buggy or unused one, but he has a very strict policy. As long as there is at least one user that benefits from ancient support for some particular technology, it won't remove the kernel. Linux: Personal Edition

He shouldn't apply to work at Apple, then.

What we know now, for example, is that Microsoft will continue to ship Internet Explorer 10 for those who still need some of its legacy features like Active X. IE on Windows 10 will support both Microsoft’s new and old rendering engines, and Spartan can also fall back on the old IE engine when it encounters legacy sites. Support desks thank you (not)
|
|
|
|
|
As both IE10-11 and 'Spartan' use the same engine I'm sure it was extremely hard to solve that 'fallback' problem...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I think you may be misinformed:
IE Blog[^] (They may need to rename this blog soon).
Note:"Powered by a new rendering engine, Spartan is designed for interoperability with the modern web. "

1. Read the article behind the link on 'new rendering engine' - there is no talk of new rendering engine there
2. The 'new' engine is a new version (fork) of Trident (search for it and you will find a lot of about it)
3. I asked the question one who actually works on it - it is Trident with new features...

If you wan't to know how much MS really hates IE6, the fact that Windows 10's legacy browser will have compatibility modes for IE11, IE10, IE9, IE8, IE7, and IE5.5 really says it all.

Windows 10 is also designed to be a service that delivers continuous innovation and new possibilities to the 1.5 billion people already using Windows each month.
