He seems to me to be the Obama of Microsoft. Hope and Change but business as usual.

Not bad lol. But if Nadella is to MS what Obama is to the US then he will have to actually start damaging the company in ways that appear intentional to most.

Hey, where's Windows 8 screen I've heard so much about?
|
|
|
|
|
Where is the "upgrade back to Windows 7" button?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

That is expected to arrive with SP 23; to be replaced in SP 37 with "Upgrade to WinXP"

I read on slashdot how a CME just missed wreaking havoc to us earthlings a couple of years ago; which brings up a question, to wit:
Is it so that a superpower employed by Cyclops (of the X-Men) could be called a CME (Corneal Mass Ejection)?

Nah, that would be a CEE... Corneal Energy Emission. Just remember, if he can SEE you, he can CEE you.

Can I download it?

If the download breaks you're in trouble! 
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Of course Windows 9?? exists. Windows 95, Windows 98 to name a couple.

But if the window doesn't exist, can you still be thrown out of it?

Colbourne is a figment of his own imagination so why not?

Now, there's a rep score you don't see often! 
I'd assumed he was committed / sectioned a couple of years back, but the graph says he is still logging in!

It looks like someone did. Or perhaps he autodefenestrated?

I've been doing this computing lark for quite a long time and still like to get my hands dirty crafting beautifully manicured code.
What I don't do, nor do I recall ever having to do, is create a custom sort algorithm. I don't think I could without looking it up; oh, I know what many of them are called and recall, vaguely, the workings but I doubt I could articulate any of them without looking it up first.
There are probably many other 'skills' I learnt in the dim and distant past but have now forgotten due to lack of use (like Visual Basic Smile | ).
What did you learn and never get around to using or, in fact, ever need to use?
