Hard (well, maybe not) to think they would go that far. It is no secret that they want all customers on a subscription basis, not one time license. I just got an IoT device that requires VS2017 or 9 and an SDK. The SDK said it couldn't install on my W7 dev machine. I would guess that, once W7 is "out", the W10 subscription $ will show up. Hard to fault them, that is what all companies want now. All subscriptions, on their cloud. We are doing more with Linux and some AWS stuff as well as Sharepoint. Even some Open Source stuff is being re-released with subscription license. Want the new features? Pay up. Can't blame them, got to pay the bills.
I owe, I owe, so off to work I go.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I could tolerate a subscription model if their "bug fixes" actually fixed bugs, rather than adding useless features and (new, shiny) icons. As it is, I would consider a subscription to be throwing good money after bad.
Linux with OpenOffice or some such is looking more attractive by the day. If only I could find an IDE as good as MSVC...

That was a little out of this world.

I would never have got IAPETUS from yin yang body.
I got till ape contained in suit(or an anagram), but with yin-yang, I immediately go to a tomoe or a magatama.

If I'd gone for "yin-yang moon" it would have been over way too quickly!

Kronos could've worked as well.

I've ever only solved one CCC and that was when everyone started "drawing" images with weird symbols.
Years later and my head still isn't bent and twisted enough to solve even the easiest CCC's (let alone this one, who the hell has ever heard of IAPETUS?) 
Here's one for you: Power tool hangs out on CP with crazy losers (6, 6)

So he's not the answer (in fact, DD is never the answer  )
Although I must admit I looked up his CCC article for some inspiration on this one

I'm afraid he's one of the crazy losers

We have a winner!
I never realized "losers" is an anagram of my name until now.
Funny how this fit exactly into the CCC with "crazy" being a hint for "anagram".
Quite brilliant if I dare say so myself
Anyway you're not up for tomorrow as it wasn't my turn to begin with
This has been fun though, maybe I'll start to appreciate this CCC thing sometime

I did. And tomorrow we will visit Mimas[^], the Death Star.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It's possible.
But ... we'll see.

A little old and battered, but better than nothing. At least it was not blown up by some farmboy, as rebel propaganda wants to make us believe.
