According to Microsoft Technical Fellow Jeffrey Snover -- well-known for being the chief architect of PowerShell -- the thing developers need to be mindful of is not building a technology that best serves shareholders, but one that best serves stakeholders, a.k.a. the people who will be most directly affected by the tools or services being built.

Microsoft's flagship OS has been popular for years despite ongoing issues, but the cloud and other forces have some declaring Windows dead. What? Again?
From someone who (it seems) hasn't looked at Windows since Vista (granted, that one left a bad taste in many mouths).
Anyway, file this one in the "because sometimes I just feel like rattling chains" category

Its strange that this very, very, very weak article was in CP news. Why? I did not have strength in me to read to the end, since it was lacking in some basic knowledge about the topic it was touching.  for CP news.

Most of the stuff in this forum comes from Slashdot.

I did not. So from now on CP will create a 'news' because someone wrote something stupid on the internet? If would want that kind of news I would go to the 4chan or something similar.

Sometimes I think a news item could just be, "how did this get published?" Plus, I was looking forward to the discussion (on this and the C article). I need my entertainment too.

Strangely enough, I can't seem to find this article on SlashDot.
I do use it as a news finder, but I don't think that most items are "from" there (by a longshot). In most cases the overlap is that both I and the /. readers find it important enough to share.
Also: feel free to post your own news not from /. here.

I’ve often seen people suggest that you should learn C in order to learn how computers work. Is this a good idea? For your consideration (and discussion)

"Which programmers don’t understand how computers work?"
Just about every one who started with managed languages. 
And, yeah, Sun was lying. It's what Sun did.

How computers work does not explain how Windows works. Even if you come from a managed background, you can read a method-segnature. If you can read, you can discover the WinAPI.

Pretty well all of us, to some extent! Even for low-level programmers there are still a great many things that happen "auto-magically".
I do recommend C as a great starting point because it does require that awareness of basic machine architecture and not just the OS but it won't teach you everything that you could ever know and it should be stressed that other paths to enlightenment are available.
