All the crap I've seen thus far about Windows Threshold has been just that - crap. Nothing substantive has come out of Microsoft. All of the industry 'pundits' have been stroking themselves heavily, quoting and re-quoting each other.
Sooner or later the bloody thing will go beta, and then we'll know.

I really wasn't pointing anything out in the article. Basically just pointing the finger at the "Windows 9" part that caused him to bust a nut.

I can hear it now,"the POS doesn't work like Windows 8!".

But why? Did they not make enough money with Windows 8 Fingerpaint Edition? I could have told them that five year olds do not have enough cash in their pockets.
Still, it's no reason to come back. Just like with Win 7, they will be nice now and then come back with 'take it or leave it' again for Win 10. I let them tell me that only twice: For the first and the last time.

I'm with you... I don't do touchscreen, I don't do tablet; I do computer. If they can't figure that out, I'm adopting the penguin; penguins are cute, and useful, unlike anything from Microsoft since Win7, and even that was a downgrade from XP.

From the article:
“The goal with Threshold is to make Windows 9 more palatable ..., especially business users and those who aren’t relying solely on touch for input.”
You mean like 98% of current Windows users?

I particularly like the "and those who aren’t relying solely on touch for input" line.
What, both of them?

Baconnaise is a bacon-flavored mayonnaise-based product that is Ovo vegetarian and kosher certified.
...
worked with chefs to determine how to have mayonnaise that tastes like bacon without having bacon as an ingredient

The simple concept of Kosher Bacon (even a substitute) makes me want to go for a lie down in a cool, dark place...

I'm sure I read somewhere that at one point smokey bacon flavoured crisps were vegetarian, but cheese and onion weren't as they used actual cheese featuring cow rennet.

Entirely possible: crisp flavourings are a mystery to be. "Smokey bacon" doesn't taste of bacon, "Chicken" doesn't taste of chicken.
But when Herself was diagnosed with high blood pressure and we put her on a low-sodium diet it was interesting to find that "Chicken" flavour crisps had loads more salt in them than "ready Salted" ones did!

"A complete list of the ingredients includes soybean oil, water, egg yolk, gluconic acid, yeast extract, stabilizer (microcrystalline cellulose, modified food starch, xanthan gum, guar gum, gum Arabic), cultured dextrose, salt, sugar, dehydrated garlic, paprika, dehydrated onion, spice, natural smoke flavor, natural flavors, tocopherols, calcium disodium EDTA, and autolyzed yeast extract."
Yum! Gotta get me some of that gluconic acid!

Meh, it is easy enough to make the real thing though. And depending on the pork and eggs it's probably healthier for you than soybean oil.
