That's odd - Windows 10 has a lot of us realizing that we need to move onto a different non MS OS.
If I wanted to go back to mainframe thin clients - why bother buying anything with a processor in it?

Windows 8 convince me of that, but everyone else always seems to be behind the curve! Give it 5 more years and you'll all be loving the cloud too!

Nearly everyone else doesn't give a crap one way or another.
And "love" and "hate" are not things I relate to operating systems. Operating systems are tools.

Just as long as it runs the Web Browser we want...and that of course is...

Torrent trackers have apparently banned the sharing of Windows 10 due to “privacy concerns” based on reports that surfaced on the internet a few weeks ago. "You blowing it all with paranoia, you're so insecure you self-destroyer"

Mozilla wants to modernize Firefox's extension and add-on systems, but those are the last things many programmers want. It has been too long since the last rewrite, hasn't it?

The problem is that going from a single to multiprocess + sandbox configuration is a big enough change that it's breaking most addon's anyway because the top level browser UI (chrome) is in a separate process from the tabs with the HTML content. Instead they need to be written in multiple parts and use IPC to talk to each other.
Of the ~200 addons that someone has tested and reported works/broken[^] to Mozilla about 40% are broken; 40% either worked as is or have been fixed by devs and 20% have been fixed shims written by Mozilla for the most common use cases. This hasn't been getting much better over time; several of the addons I've used for years have seen no activity by their developer after being contacted by Mozilla and I presume are abandoned.
Looking from a slightly different perspective, the number of open bugs in Firefox itself[^] from e10s has peaked early in the year; and at current fix rates most will be closed within a month. Currently 63 open vs 126 a month ago and 188 2 months ago; that's ~60/month which'd suggest hitting zero by the end of September, but a few long tail bugs will probably push the final date out. In comparison the number of open bugs in addons[^] has remained roughly constant at a bit over 800 all year. With a planned release date of year end a bunch of old addons are going to end up being culled regardless of any other changes.
Even before things like Servo replacing the current rendering engine with one written in Rust (which I'm not holding my breath on); there's going to be more upheaval for legacy API addons in the medium term future. The initial e10s (electrolysis) implementation is only creating a single content process vs the end goal of a process for each tab or aspirationally even every iFrame (my gut call is the latter will have too much overhead to be practical with pages glued together from eleventy jillion different sources). This gives a sandbox and should make exploiting the browser harder; but doesn't give the increased scalability stability that process/tab offers IE/Edge/Chrome. I'm also unsure if the content process will be farther limited by running at a lower OS trust level; an important security win, but one that could cause more grief for legacy addons that dig deeply into the browser if added in a 2nd+ pass.

.NET Native is a precompilation technology for building Universal Windows apps in Visual Studio 2015. Write once, run in one place?

Quote: There should be no issues in the majority of cases; however, there are still a few things that don’t play so nicely with .NET Native. Four+ dimensional arrays are one such example.
Quote: The second is that you have to be careful about which package you upload to the Store. Since the Store does the native compilation for you, you cannot upload the native binaries generated by the local .NET Native compiler. The Visual Studio workflow will guide you through this process so you select the right package.
IS this going to cause problems with binary only 3rd party libraries?
