I'd kill for a computer that could make a good sandwich.
He needs to transition from managing to leading, and that I believe is not is strong suit, so I think like Microsoft under Ballmer he did ok for a period of time, but not so much being quick to respond to changing conditions.
They could've gone with Vulkan, which would not only have achieved about the same end results, but provided OSX with an API that was common on the other two platforms.
When Windows 7 won't be supported any longer either Microsoft will have start selling you Enterprise versions and/or all American lawyers will switch to Ubuntu by necessity (I would almost like to see that)
Maybe, maybe not, I could see the Law Society and State Bars responding relatively quickly if that were to happen. But its the government, I doubt it, after the mess that was Terra View, I doubt any government will attempt to change it.
More likely, I think the ABA, CBA, State Bars and Provincial Law Societies, along with similar governing bodies will force Microsoft to resolve the problem. Like an affordable, non-listening, version of Windows 10.
This is really the one spot (and maybe, in certain scenarios, networking) where Windows really trails Mac. They never fail to find new ways to fail at streamlining settings while maintaining legacy support for both power users and sys admins.
Yes, I'm also very disappointed and to be honest very bummed out, because I feel Apple is leaving me no choice. Theres no way I can justify spending that kind of money for a laptop.
The Google Graveyard is truly impressive. There is an entire Wikipedia article dedicated:

Today's Apple event was embarassing compared to yesterday's Microsoft event. Microsoft became Apple in regards to innovation and UI design with Surface Studio while Apple became an early 2000 PC gimmick manufacturer with Tool bar (more fitting name). Just add a touchscreen instead of tiny gimmicks.
You're missing the point. Back in 2011 when Windows 8 laptops had touch screens they were pointless because there was no benefit. Now with Windows 10, Windows Ink and new devices like Surface Studio you can see the point of touch-screen on a desktop PC. It's not a gimmick anymore. Apple wants people to believe it's still 2011.
Night and day difference, wasn't it. Yesterday we saw true innovation, today, emojis.
The UI: That is suggestive.
But in regards to the rest. I'm not trying to "disprove" you, just going off my own experiences:
Crashes: I never had one crash using Windows 7. I did during my XP days (BSOD) maybe twice or so. I also had a similar about of crashes on my Power Mac G5.
Freezes: Never had a freeze on Windows 7 (that I could remember at least).
Malware: Never had a virus/malware in four years under Windows 7 while using AVG and MalwareBytes AntiMalware. I did have a few "false positives" from some websites, but based on a quick Google search, they were most likely false positives.
You obviously seemed to have a different experience as I did using recent operating systems.

Browsing pron always gives people viruses and then they cry with sea of tears.
Browsing weird fetish sites will give viruses for sure. macOS is better at protecting users from that.
Well if you doing things you probably should be doing, don't be surprised if you catch something. You can avoid malware by having smart computing practices.

People see things differently.Everyone is saying it looks great, but all I see is a Microsoft Panini Press.

Which is why I work on Windows since XP as well as OSX and never had issues on any of them.
They are both amazing systems given what you can do using them.
And mostly for PRO consumers you will always have more plugins and 3rd party stuff that goes along with software on Win than with OSX. Been that way forever and surely it is not changing.
It's just people are so blind that they believe that not having apple logo means crap.

Infinite human stupidity and universe... though he isn't so sure about the universe.
I'm sorry, I didn't read through all the article (I know, I know, but: boring).
How is the licensing plan in question... immoral or evil?

It's not immoral or evil. The Borg were not either.
They are who they are.

Thank you for that, I was hoping to upgrade my work computers to Windows 10. I gotta go call my IT Guy
