Windows 10 has the code name Etch-a-schetch.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Are you sure I was pretty sure that is Windows 8

And for those on the go we have this[^]

Please don't joke about it (there were several Dilbert cartoons where Wally replaced the pointy haired bosses Tablet with an Etch-A-Sketch...)

An upgrade eh?

Yup!

I'm pretty sure I heard someone say that there isn't going to be a windows 9, so the point is moot.

Shh! Please don't rile him up again . . .
What we got here is a failure to communicate

Nah! It's OK, he either quit CP or been kicked off. If the latter case then all praise to the hamsters!

OS X?

They better not release a Windows 10. Everyone knows Microsoft screws up even numbered OSs.

Ah, the old "reverse Star Trek movie" rule.
That must mean that, after Windows 10, we can look forward to a shiny new version of DOS 1.0[^] (directed by J. J. Abrams), now with even more lens-flare[^].

Welcome to the future - Welcome to DOS 1.0 Metro Edition - with advanced text features such as scrolling!

Nah, it will be "Windows Eggs".

if they even release Windows 9 ... it won't sell well in Germany

Speaking of skills I had once learned, I find myself coding in C++ again for the Beaglebone Black.
While it's a nostalgic experience, I really, really, don't miss it. It's as if someone were to give me back my first car in the same condition it was in when I gave it away. Functional, does the job, etc., but old and clunky.
Oh, and have I said before how I loathe Eclipse? Indeed I have. Unfortunately, the Eclipse IDE just adds to the annoyance of working in C++. For $350, this[^] is becoming more and more attractive.

If you are using a recent compiler, you should be able to use C++ 11 features like lambdas that would make it similar to your C#/Java programming.

similar in concept, but the syntax leaves a bit to be desired.

That depends on what you are used to. A lot of my C++ dev friends hate C# syntax.

Thank you

I've programmed in both, in fact, I cut my teeth on C++, programmed in it exclusively for over 15 years and I really like the language. But I also have, in more recent years, spent most of my time doing C#, it has much to offer. And I've grown used to they way things are done in C#, so now I find myself wishing C++ would do some things the C# way --sometimes-- and other times, I wish for C# to adopt some C++ isms. Almost sounds like I'm talking about "D". Maybe I should make a "D++" language. We could always use another...

C# sure is easier to write and maintain. Every time I've taken a short break from C++ and done only C#, the return to C++ had been a little difficult. Your brain just struggles for a day or two getting used to having to think more. The faster way more responsive apps make up for that though

Indeed.
