It's part of our history (too)

....but if the Brexit goes ahead, 'our' could refer to two different countries.

Hollanders opine that Albion got its just in deserts in 1667 for the destruction it wrought on the Dutch fleet in 1666.

Re: Replacing Linux with Windows, based on *cost*?

Hear, hear! The reason for switching to Linux is that the cost of support, maintenance, and training is much lower.

The defendants are proposing that Munich should support both Windows and Limux, which is easily the most expensive option. (Unless Redmond offers Windows 10 with a Linux subsystem that is fully interoperable with Limux).

Microsoft must have bribed the lord mayor.

Re: This is great news...

"The ECJ is the highest court in the European Union in matters of European Union law."

Those who dwelleth in the UK are subject to the laws passed by Her Majesty and her Parliament...

The EU is not some Über-Empire, but a club that has 27 (+ the UK) sovereign nations for members.

Re: Profiteering

Higher prices are here to stay. That means your company makes more profits and you earn higher wages. Still foreigners are rushing to buy cheap products Made in Britain.

Maybe they should consider going over to Linux?

Why didn't they use Linux in the first place? XP received updates for fourteen years or so. Which Linux distributions and kernel versions have been supported for even seven years?

Re: China separately - yes, Russia separately - yes

"And pretty soon you get the Eurasian continent, which contains 70% of the human species."

Do you think England and Wales will join the Euro-Asian Union?

P.S. China, Inidia, Pakistan and Bangla-Desh are populous, Russia is the biggest country, but the population density is low and the population is now smaller than 25 years ago.

Re: I don't like change

....when it makes no sense.

There is a good reason for having a small root file system with all the essentials needed to run your OS, combined with larger file systems (that will fill up on occasion) for user data and applicatons. You should be able to go to single-user mode and unmount /usr and maybe resize it).

Exchange?

MS Exchange sounds like a good reason to switch to whatever you can run Sendmail on.

Useless?

It seems that one Ducth party has a plan that will connect the country to the Internet Of Things....

Makes you wonder why they don't think the Internet Of Windows has security vulnerabilities or why those should not be legislated.

SQL Server or Oracle?

"A picokernel of some sort would be needed because Linus wouldn’t allow these kernel extension in Linux."

There are plenty of proprietary Linux kernel modules around.....

The important question is how it performs.

When did Apple ever invent anything?

Apple always brings you expensive fancy-looking imitations of stuff that already exists. In this case, the prior art is the Ikea Bookbook.

Buy Microsoft Linux

Around the new year, there will be 400,000,000 copies of Windows 10 Ubuntu Linux. However, Redmond makes a lot of money by hosting Linux VMs in its Azure cloud.

How long will it take to increase the accuracy to 99.999 %?

Re: But

There was a time when the world was a simpler place and the documentation for VMS would fit into a pair of cabinets. Makes you wonder how big the complete documentation for Windows 10 / 2016 would be in printed form.

what special relationship?

Will misspellings constitute an offence under the Serious Crimes Act?

Re: €3.25m?

Three megabucks will buy you a rather big box of goody Belgian Bonbons (chocolates), but it would cost billions just to print out the source code of all the software used in the EU.

Does it support Manchester United?

It runs Linux, so a ton of Open Source applications should be able to run on it.

I just wonder what this NVLink is for. Pacal GPU? You mean this is Playstation Blue that will play Angry Birds with you?

Work in the UK

But do these jobs offer a work-from-home option?

P.S. How many points do you get for regular Register reading?
