Even if they haven't been entirely consistent in their justifications behind what makes something a side by side install (1.2 to 2.0, 3.5 to 4.0) vs in place (1.0 to 1.0, 2.0 to 3.0 to 3.5, 4.0 to 4.5, to 4.6, to 4.7, to 4.8); my point is that as a user of the framework the details behind why they made the decision don't matter.
My point was that they've done both in the past, and I expect they'll continue to do both in the future. My expectation is that potentially breaking performance changes backported from .net core will be the trigger for the next time we get a side by side upgrade instead of an in place one. That or their progress in migrating support for legacy applications to .net core reaches the point that .net core v.future becomes the official replacement for the existing ms framework.

I got a response to a question asking about this on the MSDN post. MS said they're not planning on another side by side upgrade for .net framework in the future because of the extra amount of disk space it consumes.

Several users who lost their personal files after updating have shared their story on Reddit and other places over the last two days, though it’s still hard to know if the issue is really widespread. Well, you probably didn't need those files anyway

Win 10 was sure that they will love to have their data in the cloud, so it cut all from the pc and pasted it in the cloud. The only minor problem is... that it didn't loged the cloud account before pasting it
Now seriously: One thing is that the elephanting update deletes your configuration reseting it to what MS wants it to be "default" or giving problems with addiotional drivers, but deleting the personal data (if true)... that's way beyond the line. Really sorry about the loss of those people![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

.NET Core 2.0 was released mid August 2017. It has now reached end of life (EOL) and will no longer be supported by Microsoft. Pretty soon they'll stop supporting them before RTM (OK, Windows is already that way)

they're not gonna gain any traction with core if they don't support it for more than a year...

... which is why they have designated long term support version that do get patches for longer. .net core 2.1 is one of them, with support through 2021. Non-LTS support versions are for the people who like playing on the bleeding edge and are willing to live with the pain of constant mandatory upgrades that comes with it.
Is 3 years for an LTS long enough? Dunno, it's shorter than most of MS's other product life cycles, but I'm not sure how it compares with support lifespans for other foss runtimes.

Nested on the servers’ motherboards, the testers found a tiny microchip, not much bigger than a grain of rice, that wasn’t part of the boards’ original design.
Looks like this explains why the DoD, NSA, etc all freaked out a few years ago.
And remember in response to official denials in the article, that TOP SECRET//LEAKED TO PRESS data is still classified and that anyone with knowledge of it via the classified path is still bound by the Go to Jail NDAs they signed.

You know this is like a typical fake news/advertisement story?
First: What makes you think people on the internet know what
DoD, NSA are? The internet is not something located solely in N.America.
Secondly, your title says:
How China modified servers to conduct espionage I didn't get that answer from your post.

Scientists have developed "neuristor" circuits that behave similarly to biological neurons in the human brain, which can perform complex computations using an incredibly small amount of power. Or new ways to waste battery life

That's exactly right. They will come up with ways to save power and then others will come along and figure out how to utilize that saving for their own purposes.

You should show this to Chris. He is in love with the new surface, I'm sure this will be another great feature to add to the lack of USB C.

Microsoft announced a new feature for Windows 10 today that will let Android phone users view and use any app on their device from a Windows desktop. I guess this is more proof a new Windows Phone isn't coming soon
But they will likely try again as soon as they get a new VP.

I'm pretty sure that Microsoft announced the ability to run Android apps on Windows 10 a couple of years ago and then pulled it.

This feature will probably go EOL at the end of February 2019...

The PyTorch 1.0 release candidate introduces Torch Script, a Python subset that can be JIT-compiled into C++ or other high-speed code "Some men just want to watch the world burn."
