If you are a developer, you will need to build something using the Office 365 APIs, and Add-ins to boost productivity in “every year of your life”. Bonus points if you hack the ribbon out

The Search Engine Google is showing a Doodle for the 388th Birthday of Charles Perrault. The Doodle image is getting changed whenever refreshing the Google Home page. It seems it is showing 3 different versions of Doodle images randomly.
Charles Perrault was a French author. Perrault was born in Paris as the seventh child. Perrault is best known for his Mother Goose fairy stories.
He laid the foundations for a new literary genre, the fairy tale, with his works derived from pre-existing folk tales.

Unparalleled distribution strategy is the story. Do you want to install Windows 10? How about now? Now? What about now?

Quote: In itself, pre-loading the upgrade was not that dissimilar to how any automatic update, including patches for Windows or a new version of Chrome, are downloaded to a user's device. But the timing of the Windows 10 pre-fetching -- before availability -- was unusual. When software makers wrap up development and release the product, they release it: It makes no sense to withhold it from customers when it's finished, but instead push it to their devices to await an installation date and time.
This might be new in the OS world; but Steam's been doing it to handle releases of games whose downloads can dwarf (ex GTA4 being ~50GB) your OS for years. Pre-load where it downloads the entire game before release (and uses an unlock mechanism of some sort to keep you from playing ahead of the official release date) has been a feature for AAA games for years. Downloading and installing patches in the background (eg while you're sleeping or at work) is available for all games so that when you are ready to play you almost never have to wait for a patch to download and install first.

I recently wrote a pair of at least slightly controversial articles about 64-bit vs. 32-bit applications and the performance costs associated with going to 64 bit. Another 4600 bytes on bits (more or less)

Beating a dead horse. Doesn't a 64bit process run faster than a 32 bit processor and hence it's all bs anyway?

Well, sure. But a 64bit processor is presumably newer, faster, better tech than the older 32 bit processor. So one would think it'd be at least a wash. But I do I agree with rincon (WTFWHN?) that data structures containing pointers will be bigger and thus take more memory. Moving more memory takes more time, etc, etc. Code that deals with 64bit pointers will necessarily be bigger thus taking more time to move the code into the processor, etc. --- all other things being equal --- But that's just it, they're not equal, the newer 64bit processor is faster and better, so it should at least be a wash if not faster anyway.

You're forgetting that the newer processor will also run 32bit code faster than the old one; and without the cache miss penalties from bigger pointers.

While I didn't mention it, I didn't miss it. Why? Because most code when moving from 32bit to 64bit is also moving processors.

Moving to the new processor is a speedup; and unless your old hardware is really ancient or really low power is already 64bit. Porting to 64 is normally at best a wash; in most cases it's marginal slowdown. If you want something to be faster you buy faster hardware; you don't port the code to 64bit.
