Fascinating how easily statistical data can be explained either way...you can band it to your wishes...
For instance the number and kind of questions means for the author that enterprise interested in adopting W10, but it probably mean that Microsoft spread so much fog over the spy-bot activities of the OS, that IT have to ask more than the usual questions to make things clear...
I also checked some of the numbers...For instance 5% (computers with W10) of 12% (companies have it) means that 0.6% of the computers in enterprise companies has W10 installed - That's really an achievement...
The 60% that plan to grow from 5% to 7% means that an other 7% of the total companies will add a half computer in 2016...Wow!
Always loved statistics

Beware anything that boils programming down to simple rules like "don't use magic numbers". Code is more subtle than that. It takes more than 10 steps

According to an investigation by researcher Ashish Singh, websites visited from InPrivate can be easily recovered from a user’s hard drive by examining the WebCache file. Mental note: don't use Edge when "shopping for spouse's gifts"
I guess I could have stopped part way through that sentence.

In a major breakthrough for artificial intelligence, a computing system developed by Google researchers in Great Britain has beaten a top human player at the game of Go, the ancient Eastern contest of strategy and intuition that has bedeviled AI experts for decades. Ah well, at least the computers will never beat us at Solitaire

Wow, I believe this was the last game where we had some chance. Welcome, Skynet.

That's huge. Just yesterday I saw a video on status of AI in Go and today it was beaten. If DeepMind defeats even that champion, it's the last big game. Now there are only real world problems to beat. I hope it goes open source or at least library. It would be great to have such capabilities in. .NET for example.
I found the games they played, you can review them here:

DevOps, microservices, and the shift to containers and lightweight computing environments explain a lot about Microsoft’s position on .NET, open source and Nano Server. They are kind and good, and always doing what's best for their customers?

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

One of the most important color tricks I’ve ever learned was to avoid using the color black in my work Really interesting article describing why you shouldn't use the colour black in your applications.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

You can use the same arguments against white.

The theory is to use black on mobile apps to prolong battery life. It takes more energy to display white #FFFFFF, all bits on, then it does to display black, #000000 no bits on.
So when it comes to mobile apps, always use black.
And when you need caffeine, drink your ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) black.

That would be true for all phones with AMOLED displays.
But for devices with some kind of backlit TFT it wouldn't matter much.

To prove the point, the author set the text color to some gray, but that only made it less readable...
While I agree that black isn't a good color for surface coloring, when you have a pure white background gray text will create a blur effect only...
So like with everything in design - no real rules, but guidelines with exceptions...
