I didn't flame about a FOSS project by the way.
I didn't use a harsh word -- crap is a too kind one.
Still it is windows crap..

Stallman is on one side of a fanatical extreme, however in a very large portion of cases he ends up being right.

I would expect nothing less from Microsoft...

]]>I wonder what is in this for Canonical. It's a huge benefit to Microsoft, but it seems to me that Canonical is getting the short end of the stick. I can't help but expect Microsoft to screw them over at some point like they always do. Anyone care to comment on why this is or isn't worth it for Canonical? Looking forward to your opinions.

]]>There's also leaked information suggesting that "Windows 10" will eventually rebrand to just "Windows" as it transitions to a service, they're already experimenting with this by including ads in the startmenu and lockscreen.
]]>Hmmm... Tomorrow is April Fools' Day, so do not get your hopes up.
Let hope Arch do something this year.
And for the Windows thing... lets hope this not backfired like fire, I heard Canonical is on the hood.

My 'beefy' system actually freezes for up to a minute or two during normal usage of win10. Microsoft needs to prioritize solving existing problems over adding new features.
I run Windows 10 on my main gaming machine and it works fine. I also do maintenance on three other Windows 10 machines. They run fine too. I'm not saying that your system doesn't have issues I'm just saying that with 277 million installations of Windows 10 so far 0.01% is still a lot of machines.
I agree, it works great on many systems, no arguing that. Still many users (including me) are experiencing issues and they aren't really doing anything about it.

Fixing stuff under the hood doesn't translate well in advertising and thus does not sell new software like adding new, often unnecessary, features.
So true.
