Google’s vice president of design and the man behind the company’s Material Design philosophy, Matias Duarte, has been making waves this morning with several tweets he sent out criticising Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system after he experienced it for the first time on his new Surface Pro 4. And a bigger Start menu. How did he miss that one?

Does he also say that MacOS El Capitan is MacOS Cheetah with a flat look and Window 7's Aero theme?
Oh, hang on: we're talking about a VP from one company calling another company rude names. Right.
As long as we're all being grown up here.

The killing of UserVoice actually took place on 30 October, but the site remains accessible until 16 November -- almost coinciding with the expected release of Threshold 2. Before you start to panic that Microsoft is killing the feedback that has been provided, there is a contingency plan. If they can't hear about bugs, they don't need to fix them

What a pity, MS have such a nice record on listening to testers and users feedback.

Don't forget the "connect" site[^], where you can provide detailed information on bugs you've found so that Microsoft's skilled engineers can immediately close the report as "by design" or "can't reproduce".

Speaking to PC World, Microsoft Corporate Vice President Joe Belfiore explained that Windows 10 is constantly tracking how it operates and how you are using it and sending that information back to Microsoft by default. It can, but stopping it involves installing Linux

I guess my nice pfsense router will be able to correct theses issues.

Yes, spying cannot be stopped from inside the box, but it can be stopped externally at the router!

Want to buy a new Windows 7 PC? Better get busy, because there are only 364 shopping days left. As promised, Microsoft is providing one year's notice to PC makers on Windows 7's end of life. The clock starts now. Save your DVDs, you might get loads of money for them soon

Microsoft has attempted various ways to bolster their app store – including making it simple for iOS and Android developers to port their apps – but now the company is looking to non-developers in the hope of boosting the number of apps in their store through a web-based 'App Studio' to build simple applications without the need to know any code. Hopefully it has the option to automatically contact a real developer to fix the app it generates
