Yup.
The solution to an inferior operating system is to put a shell around it.

I totally agree, there is no one OS that will serve every purpose although I do believe they can all play well together.

They can play well with each other, too. My home network has six different OSes involved in it, and I happily shunt files around between them, in very not-difficult-technical-stuff ways -- the most difficult operation technically is connecting progs on iOS through itunes.
If that's not proof enough that they don't all have to be the same, then I don't know what is.

Yes they can all network together but wouldn't it be great if you wrote an app and it would run on any platform, without a lot of BS?

Granted, and I would like to be all-Windows again, just for that reason, but they appear to be doing everything they can to push me away from that.

MS has there own agenda, they want to push us in a certain direction thinking it is for our own good without our input. Like most big businesses the bottom line has become more important than innovation.

The thing is they could give each one it own interface and keep the same underlying code base. They just won't do it.

I have been saying since Win 8 first came out (I saw the early pre-release) how utterly stupid it looked.
This is NOT an interface conducive to enterprise applications. It's poorly thought up and shows all of us that Microsoft learned NOTHING from the Vista fiasco.
The flat, 2D, pastel view of 'tiles' and 'charms' ('charms', really???) is just plain stupid.
I have bought a laptop and a PC since Win 8 came out and I brought them home and replaced them both with Win 7. I refuse to use it.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Agreed - big mistake.

Surprisingly unrocked by corruption allegations. There are four possibilities as far as I can see:
1) They aren't "proper" politicians. If true, this would upset them.
2) They are too stupid to work out how to build a trough and get their noses into it.
3) Nobody is offering them bribes to do things, because they can't actually do anything anyway.
4) There isn't enough money in the country for them to get at.
I suspect all of the above are true... 
There is always the option that they are Honest and Clean Politicians - but even my keyboard rebelled when trying to type that...

That is like the Speed of light, we have all heard of it and fiction has achieved it but in the real world it is thoretical and unachievable in practice

This is a UK and Europe-based organisation.
It is owned by Dice Holdings of New York City.
It has been spamming me for ten years.
Unsubscribe buttons don't work.
I believe that they are part of some sort of regulatory scam.
Recently they have started to spam my latest and newest email addresses.
I am seeing a lawyer about sending a Cease And Desist letter to Dice.
If anybody wants to make this a class action, please feel free to join me.

Fair dos, but why don't you just set up a rule to delete anything from them?

I have, but I don't see how phones can do rules. Any ideas?

I get them too, never tried the unsubscribe buttons would surprise me if they didn't work. They are in my ever growing spam folder! I think the Cease & Desist from a lawyer could be expensive and not really work as the servers are probably in a part of the world which it will not be affected by it. Also Dice Holding have deep enough pockets (I should think) to make any legal action pointless, the only way is to get a huge class action!

Now there's a thought. I think a simple C&D letter would be a few quid. It's not so much about legal action, just giving the swine some of their own medicine.
