It makes me wonder just who his offspring are going to breed with.
If they are that endangered, there's got to be a very high risk of cosanguination ...
What made me laugh was the link on the same page: New giant tortoise species discovered on Galapagos Islands[^]

Perhaps they mistook it for an island...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Shirley the knee-jerk rules of greenism state that a new species will eat food needed by existing species, so they should be eradicated before they get a foothold and cause the existing species to go extinct?

I just wondered because "dishonest treatise" could be "CON TRACT".
Wasn't at all sure though, and quite glad I was wrong!

You need to do better than that.
At the very least explain how Windows differs from macOS or anything Google has released in terms of tracking what you do.

I guess what he meant is he won't use any OS at all Not sure how he managed to post on this forum though.

Stop sucking up to Chris. 
I use XP, 2K and Ubuntu by the way.

He's an embedded guy - he probably hacked the front door keypad and spent several hours tapping wires together to create a binary representation of his post that was then translated and transmitted along some dodgy 9600 baud service line.
If I change one of this page's element IDs it'll totally screw him up. Listen carefully as I make the change and you will hear the howl of rage.

Ask it this way, since MSFT arent asking money for Windows 10, how is it making money for them?
--edit--
Oh, and I wouldnt buy a mac either, I am just not that image conscious. Didnt you guess that when we met?

Firstly, you're a very stylish man and you know it. A macbook draped around your shoulders would truly set off the Swarovski miniture apple watch earings you were showing off.
Secondly, ... here's an article about where MS makes its money[^]. What's fascinating to me is that ad revenue (from Bing) isn't mentioned.

Dammit Chris, you promised not to tell anyone!
I find that the sudden decision to dump win10 for free, and push it at every opportunity (like evry single link on MSDN takes you to windows 10 it seems) odd, and a bit desperate.
Now how about porting .Net to Linux? Thats weird too. Do they really think Windows has run its course and is at risk of dying?
MSFT makes their money on Office and screwing corporates for useless support contracts doesnt it? Anyway, lets look at the link... Yeah, so this is based on a 'post PC' premise, ie, windows has become unimportant to them. Kind of confirms what I said.
--edit--
This is wht I switched from windows kernel to linux kernel, the growth there is impressive, while windows kernel is dying out in the marketplace.

Remember that Apple started making OS updates free way before Windows did.
