As a phone OS I liked it well enough. What killed it really for me was the lack of 'second tier' applications. Yes, your FaceBook, Twitter, Tumblr and all were there. But your local transport and utility providers, banks and the like only ever really did iOS and Android. They had two do two versions of their app already, why would they do a third for a much smaller player?
Was glad to get back on Android by the end.
""Even when it is uncontroversial to call the subject depicted a "child", that is no excuse for censorship," he added. "Having a photo or drawing does not hurt anyone, so and if you or I think it is disgusting, that is no excuse for censorship.""
Wrong-o.
It's very structured code-wise, and syntactically simple compared to {} languages. It's kind of the reason people used to use VB6 - it gets out of the way and lets you solve the problems. Data scientists don't want to be pissing around with the scaffolding involved in using other languages.
Even if it were technically achievable in any of our lifetimes, which I seriously doubt, I also doubt many people actually want it. Think it would help reduce accidents in your country? I suspect proper driver training and law enforcement might be a better use of the time and energy than this horseshit.
"emind me again why, exactly, people still purchase anything from Redmond? Do they expect it to suddenly get better? "
Seriously? Have you ever been in a corporate environment?
Windows, by and large, works very well. Otherwise it would be dead a long time ago.
"At this point, what corporation in it's right mind would actually spec Windows for any desktop? "
Any corporation that needs to run the actual real-world software required to do business in the modern world, i.e. all of them.
Get a clue.
