Re: Obsoleting hardware

Absolutely nothing. It's the security tweaks that require modern hardware.

'Windows 10 destroyed our data!' Microsoft hauled into US court

I just checked my metrics... 781 7->10 upgrades, 1655 clean 10 installs since Aug 1, 2015. Of those, 3 upgrades failed and had to be rolled back, 1 unsuccessfully and was determined to have a daily hard drive, 22 clean installations failed and had to be started over, and if those, 19 were due to driver updates, 3 due to bios firmware that needed updating. Numbers don't lie; the process is too easy.

Re: About time

And there's where you lose all credibility - "Anything proclaimed as "secure" should not need extra anti-virus before it goes near the Internet and anything declared as "increasing productivity" should not have to market so well and deceptively against Linux - it suggests they're very worried about it."

I haven't used antivirus in decades, and Linux markets against itself. In fact, Microsoft is trying to embrace Linux.

And this, the ignoramus was exposed.
