Pretty ironic given the fact that it's also the most chatty Windows ever... and it feels just as hard as breaking the security to turn all that telemetry stuff off.

A pity they're making it enterprise only and tying it to a TPM. TPMs being only present in enterprise laptops is very much a chicken and egg problem; give a value added reason and there's no reason they couldn't be more common. For those of us who still build our own desktops, a lot of higher end mobos have TPM headers; and a quick Google shows them available for <$20; which's certainly within budget for anyone building a mid/high end box. For as often as I install new software, having to self-sign anything I install explicitly wouldn't be a major burden assuming it could be done from the same secure desktop as login/UAC prompts are already hosted in.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Actually, it probably will be the most secure consumer version; but for one of the reasons people are up in arms.
The majority of Malware currently infecting systems[^] uses bugs that were patched years ago; and thus is only a threat to sunshines whose boxes haven't been patched for years.

But hold your horses -- Azure Cloud Switch is a custom version of Linux designed for running switches in Microsoft's own data center. "Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches."

A study looking for signs of intelligent alien life in a handful of galaxies has come up short. It means that super-advanced civilizations in our local universe are extremely rare, or absent altogether. Unless you count the ones actively ignoring us

Even looking for intelligent life on Earth is a bit of a lost cause these days

It’s thought that a species far beyond our capabilities could utilize entire stars for energy, perhaps surrounding them in structures known as Dyson spheres, producing noticeable mid-infrared radiation.
What an absurd ass-umption.

Seen as graffiti many moons ago:
Q: Is there any intelligent life on Earth?
A: (in different hand) Yes, but I'm just visiting.
