Looks like a lot's happening in the 3D gaming world. Not many game devs on CP though.

Vulkan supports all Windows versions, while DirectX 12 only runs on Windows 10. Because of this I think we will see several AAA games running on Vulkan this year. Game developers want to reach as large a target audience as possible.

I'm sure the pr0n industry will welcome this news. As well as a certain demographic wanting certain "improvements"...
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Microsoft is listening to its customers and that can only be a good thing for its business, its relationship with customers, and the company’s general outlook. Yeah, totally listening to all that feedback on Windows 10

It would be tricky that one - I personally have got used to Ribbon now and would find it hard to go back.
Of course, with good software architecture (such as the command pattern), it would be entirely possible to provide both or a mix, at user preference, but that's surely a stupid suggestion.

Do you know that when ribbon was introduced, Classic menu keyboard shortcuts were still there ?
and menu entry names are still in apps along with localized names.

Quote: Microsoft then went further, releasing a statement that talked about how the company had “listen[ed] to feedback regarding the level of disclosure for Windows 10 updates [and] decided to implement a new system for communicating updates to the operating system.”
There is some wrong with my English for sure...I thought 'listening' is something like pay attention, now it is cler to me that it's a synonym to 'statement'...
