Great, my OS is now timebombed to permit me to only install what I want on it at Microsoft's pleasure.
How on earth is this "easy" compared to "compile it and you can run it forever" like Windows has been since Windows existed?
(Also: what happens when Windows 8 support is "sunset"? You just can't use that computer anymore? Jeez.)
- RyJones 14y agoWe had a team prepare for a demo on WinRT tablets in the US. They went overseas to do the demo - license expired in route. No connectivity; couldn't VPN in due to no WinRT VPN client, had to drop that part of the demo. Huge pain, no gain.
