I'm looking forward to Windows 10 release. I'll be buying a new computer this year and have been waiting for 10 to release.
As a white male, it's fun to be in the minority now.

How do we get this mythical Windows 10 everybody is talking about? 
This is the most unimpressive new Windows OS launch I've ever seen. What ever happened to queueing up outside PC World all night to get my hands on the new and latest must have add on for my PC?
I mean, I know Windows 8 hurt Microsoft badly, so I can imagine why they are keen to downplay it, but it would be nice if it even got a single mention anywhere else other than the Lounge.

Not sure what you're talking about. I've seen it announced all over the place, outside of CP.

Broadband Internet happened.

Where is the fun in that? Many new friendships and even marriages have resulted from chance meetings outside PC World whilst queueing for the latest version of Windows. Where am I supposed to meet new people now?

Facebook.

I have been waiting for a very long time, until now. I bought a new laptop 2 months ago and reserved it then. I waited for a long time that this Get Windows 10 icon is appearing to me as a stupid logo. 
Anyways, did India get the release? I hope, I will get the release after 30 minutes.

See my post above, its being rolled out on a "first come first served basis" which means many won't be able to upgrade today, so for a lot of people it will be a bit of a non-event.

Ah, that was helpful. Thank you for relieving my pain buddy.

That may be true, but that joke was made 8 years ago by a guy that died 4 years ago, at an event featuring two of the most prominent names in modern computing (Jobs and Gates). I think it's safe to say it has been posted here before, and everyone has already seen it...

I agree. You can say that again.

But he didn't say "the same thing twice"; he said "so".

"So"- it may also relate to the album by Peter Gabriel released 1986: kinda old stuff, but music still sounds good

There are more than 11 million CP members, while the views count for this joke video is less than 7 million, thus, to the contrary of what you said above, there are about 4 million folks (at least) who may see it for the first time. Regarding the timing of that joke - well, it's much younger than the aphorism attributed to another prominent name (see below), which is included in your signature  : Quote: "The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative". -Winston Churchill

"A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" (excerpt from) W. B. Yeats, "The Second Coming," 1919
«I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center» Kurt Vonnegut.

Except that it should be 'The Tenth Coming' it is eerily accurate...
But do not panic - we lived the other nine...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
