It used to be the case that you could just put any old colored liquid in a glass bottle and sell it as medicine and make an absolute fortune. And then not worry about whether or not it’s poisonous. This blurb is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
A couple reasons why appearing below (if I get the formatting right)

Computer scientists at the University of California, Riverside have revealed for the first time how easily attackers can use a computer’s graphics processing unit, or GPU, to spy on web activity, steal passwords, and break into cloud-based applications. The article doesn't answer the important question: what does it do to my framerate in PUBG?
That's what the kids are playing these days, isn't it? How about Fortnite? Would that have been a better blurb? Or should I have stuck with FreeCell?

Extracting a dollar's worth of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin from the deep Web consumes three times more energy than digging up a dollar's worth of gold, researchers said Monday. I guess those slackers in Denmark should be mining more bitcoin?

Which is still preferable over a dependency on the weaponized SWIFT-network. Now compare the pollution caused by mining gold compared to BC, and we'll talk

Microsoft is adding more perks to its beleaguered Windows 10 October 2018 Update (also known as version 1809), which is still suspended after a botched Oct. 2 release. Because it's the Year of the Windows Subsystem for Linux

ToDo:
1. Fix Windows, and stop the idiot kids adding cr@p to it
2. Play with Linux for windows
Hmm...

ActiveState published results of a survey conducted to examine challenges faced by developers who work with open source runtimes, revealing love for Python and security pain points. Are they sure they got the commas right in that? I'd have thought it was: "Open source survey shows Python, love, security pain points"

Microsoft will sell Windows 7 security updates after the operating system reaches end of service, but it's going to cost you. Pushing the deadline is a bad idea. An upgrade in time is worth nine (service packs)

But what about Windows 3.1 security updates?

Undoubtedly many IT administrators are wondering if, given that they are being told they must spend a lot of money on a complicated transition, they should take a step further and move away from Windows.
If they're smart, that's EXACTLY what they will do. There are fewer and fewer compelling reasons to keep Windows. In two years, that will probably be REAL obvious to IT admins, if it isn't already.

As Windows-like as a lot of the distros have become, I think you're right. Add to that the better command-line, and many tasks moving in that direction. The biggest reason to stay with Windows seems be becoming, "because we've always done it like that".
Oh, and Office. Gotta use our Excel macros!

This will be the year of Linux on the Desktop! Yes!
Seriously, people will remain with MS, for the same reasons they had when preferring Windows ME and Vista over Linux.

Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, has launched a campaign to persuade governments, companies and individuals to sign a “Contract for the Web” set of principles designed to defend a free and open internet. "More what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules"

When government runs things, "free and open" are merely a fond wish by mere mortals, such as ourselves.
