Dos 1.0 worked great... then people bought virus software before they had a virus...so i had to sell them virues so they can test their virus software.

If anything, Unix has no handicap when it comes to "professional programming". Applications for small verticals and big studio games are the usual "monopoly" problem.

They are not really tricky bastards who would stoop so low as to do force an upgrade without your permission.

They're just trying to "help you" -- you know -- enjoy all the "benefits" of an even more closed system in Windows 10. I've found that GWX Panel at least warns you when slinking Microsoft is trying to slither in with another Windows 10 upgrade in your computer. It also deletes the Windows 10 files Microsoft so "helpfully" downloads for you without your permission. So far my wife and kids have managed to avoid Windows 10. Hopefully on July 29th Microsoft will give up on their malware campaign. -- Zero tolerance for WinDrones and iCultists

Plus, "The software is licensed, not sold." MS should've been pushing out non-optional code updates all along for certain classes of updates, but always telling users it would happen. I used to do that with my end-user apps (they were internal corporate apps with no EULA, but certain updates were pushed out automatically). > And now it seems Microsoft is at it again. > > http://www.networkworld.com/article/3004029/microsoft-subnet/microsoft-pushing-windows-10-upgrade-without-users-permission.html Very lame, if they're doing it intentionally - which they must be, considering it's happened more than once. Once may be an error, but not twice or three times. > Microsoft has gone from OEM racketeer to malware vendor. So use Linux. Non-problem replaced with a real problem. > I'm not sure which I find more detestable. People like you and shitv - who lie through their cig-stained teeth year after year but consider themselves 'morally superior' - are just as detestable, Hypocrite.
