People laugh at me when I tell them I switched "back" to Windows after decades of Unix and Mac programming. But it's a really good, productive platform. Microsoft really seems to be heading in the right direction now.
I hope .NET starts taking off on other platforms, too, because it really is a much better system than Brand "J".

- oblio 10y agoIn the Windows 10 thread someone posted this hilarious comic: http://www.bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts/ http://www.bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts/ We just have to hope that "our" guys (OSSers) have bigger guns than "those" guys (privacy destroyers).
- UK-AL 10y agoConsidering most OSS devs slam analytics on literally every website. Really there isn't much difference. That's what windows is sending. Analytics information. Yet I can guarantee every major website developed by open source using devs is sending the same information for their apps. Yet no one complains.
- oblio 10y agoLook at the comic. I'm talking about divisions inside Microsoft. I doubt it very much that Scott Hanselman (for example), who is in the camp that pushes Microsoft to open up, is the kind of person that designed the privacy controls (or their lack) in Windows 10.
- GrumpyYoungMan 10y agoAmen. Having used Windows Server and various Unixes, I much prefer Windows.
- ratboy666 10y agoIf you meant Java, say Java please. Brand "J"? To me, that would mean J/K/APL/APL2 (MATLAB, Nial, S, R, and other array systems). But I guess Brand "J" is cute.
