If a deaf person goes to court, is it still a hearing?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What a load.
I really dislike that company any more.
They have sheep in the pen and some stragglers on the hillside that won't come in. And they use then scare tactics to round em up.
Gee, whatya think their gonna do to us?
It's prolly not nice.
Oh well Baaa, Happy Friday y'all.

be nice, just t'other day saw something about "microsoft’s renewed embrace of developers, developers"
they described all the new toys they are bring out for devs
... though never mentioned they're (1) disguised bait/candy to pull devs [back] to ms, and (2) almost all broken.

And who is hopping around on a stage, sweating like a pig?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I see, so they are quietly abandoning w7 users, while publicly embracing linux, iphone and android users, that makes sense ... not!
It would not take much effort on their part to open up w10 a little to allow w7 users to be more comfortable, even if only for a transition period - similar to the w7 'classic' interfaces - a xp look and feel, how hard for instance would it be to add a proper 'classic' start menu option?
Instead they expect people to jump full on into w10 raw, facets of which are as alien to w7 users as they are to android users.
Using your car example, when you go in for service on a family sedan the dealer shows you the new model of the sedan, not their range of trucks. (And these days they also offer sedan-truck like hybrids for those that don't want to change all the way but do want specific extra features.)
ms's refusal to respond properly to the bad press has only driven people away from the pc and laptops - again how hard would it be for them to atually answer the questions doubters are asking?

Wow! So old? Surely not! People weren't alive back then!
I have been married for well over a decade (or two, even) and yet my wife hasn't even considered replacing me since I can still do my job as well as ever I could. In fact, she says I have improved over the years (patches and upgrades, I suppose).

I'm not arguing with the points you make here, but ummmm... I was just wondering what you have for breakfast.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

So when a company improves its products and makes them more robust over time it's a cynical move for financial gain that should be criticised? Or is that only true of Microsoft? I mean if the latest iPhone or Linux distro was better and more secure than the last one we'd be making these criticisms against them too?

Quote: when a company improves its products and makes them more robust over time
When did that happen? Just the opposite, in my opinion. I was hoping for so much with Windows 10, that they would basically just improve upon Windows 7 where necessary (not many places as far as desktops go), but instead they just did more of the Windows 8 madness marketing changes (not improvements) and made nearly everything worse and less friendly for desktop users. I am yet to find one actual, useful "improvement" from Win7 to Win10 (ignoring the abominable Win8, the best thing to do with it).

Well they rewrote the SMB implementation removing the bug that allowed malicious apps to spread through a network.

Windows UWP apps are more secure than traditional Win32 apps, so they say. Sounds like an improvement to me.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.
