Next to = ALONGSIDE
hypotenuse = A LONG SIDE
Nice one!

Not an answer (too few letters - I'm assuming alongside has it) but the same clue can be used for "adjacent".

or "Acute Angle" even.
Then he could expand it to:

------- B is a 90o (or Right) Angle, so A and C (which are next to the hypotenuse) are Acute Angles (Less than 90o by definition) since they must add up to 90o

I think Agent__007's angle on this was obtuse.

I was trying to make a joke!

-> "Acute Angle"
But no, that answer was not wide, it was perfectly inclined with your clue.

Ah. I missed it because I gave you the answer before I gave you the clue...

All the crap I've seen thus far about Windows Threshold has been just that - crap. Nothing substantive has come out of Microsoft. All of the industry 'pundits' have been stroking themselves heavily, quoting and re-quoting each other.
Sooner or later the bloody thing will go beta, and then we'll know.

I really wasn't pointing anything out in the article. Basically just pointing the finger at the "Windows 9" part that caused him to bust a nut.

But why? Did they not make enough money with Windows 8 Fingerpaint Edition? I could have told them that five year olds do not have enough cash in their pockets.
Still, it's no reason to come back. Just like with Win 7, they will be nice now and then come back with 'take it or leave it' again for Win 10. I let them tell me that only twice: For the first and the last time.

I'm with you... I don't do touchscreen, I don't do tablet; I do computer. If they can't figure that out, I'm adopting the penguin; penguins are cute, and useful, unlike anything from Microsoft since Win7, and even that was a downgrade from XP.

From the article:
“The goal with Threshold is to make Windows 9 more palatable ..., especially business users and those who aren’t relying solely on touch for input.”
You mean like 98% of current Windows users?

I particularly like the "and those who aren’t relying solely on touch for input" line.
