So what you're saying is that no other OS has any programs that can compete with Exchange, Outlook, Office and Sharepoint. I agree. :) Maybe those other shitty operating systems makers should try harder if they want to replace Windows.

I expressed my opinion quite clearly, thank you very much. Here it is again: Everything that person stated was either incorrect or extremely insignificant because obviously none of those reasons have affected Windows very significant market

I wish there were something like Tortoise for Linux and Mac. It's certainly possible. Beyond Compare from Scooter Software implements the context menu in the file explorer on all platforms equally well.

Finding a better job isn't the only way. You can build stuff at home that you think can make money and ty to turn it into a business.

Everything you listed as either incorrect or extremely insignificant. I don't have time to correct you right now but please, you're really reaching on quite a few of those. Edit: maybe it would help you to level out your perspecti

Isn't it a hallmark of Apple that all of their stuff usually works together though?

I don't need more than a text editor, a browser and a commandline to do web development. So I would be fine with just Linux if that's all I ever did. To do anything at all with iOS I need a Mac. So I expect that I will always have

Why would they say that? They could simply point out all the things that you can do on Windows that you cannot do on macOS because Apple will not let you.

Windows is the better OS. Microsoft never dropped support for power users. They give you options to do everything that you want to do, way more than macOS. It's also got the better business model. That's why every business in the

Did you hear the part about the Windows subsystem for Linux? Microsoft heard you. So now you get a really solid desktop experience plus your UNIX command line.

I've seen these questions asked the couple times now so here is one last question that I think needs to be addressed – Do you think that you will always need to look at the TouchBar in order to use it? I am of the opinion that you will

No apparently the site is for talking shit about Windows continuously.

Any opinions on why developers on HN/elsewhere seem to prefer laptops over desktop machines? Do you really need to be coding on the bus/train/plane or in hotels? When you go to a meeting, do you really need to bring your enti

I don't understand why any dev would want to use a touchpad of any kind? They're not nearly as precise as a mouse. They cause you to rotate your cuff even further than a mouse. Dragging and dropping things is more difficult with a

The funniest part to me is just how AMAZED every presenter acts about using touch input with full desktop apps... as if they've invented something completely new and Microsoft and others haven't been doing this for years.

Yes, thanks - I was responding to an anecdote which was a response to an anecdote as well. It's anecdotes all the way up! Not sure what else we'll be able to find on HN...

I can't get over the incredibly smarmy vibe that Apple emits at all times. It permeates their entire aura and the consistency amazes me. Every presenter has the same kind of rhythm and timing. I wonder who coaches them?

Sorry if my question came off as sarcastic - it wasn't. I love Linux, but I always have trouble getting it to run directly on hardware (mostly laptops). Did your laptops have dual graphics/Optimus (Nvidia+Intel)? Every spare lapto

> simply install Linux... What kind of hardware are you "simply install[ing] Linux" on? Was it really that simple? The reason I ask is because every single time I try to install Linux on actual hardware, it's a nightmare.

Do you think a lot of people care about PC/phone integration? I don't see it outside of "contacts and email" which is already fully integrated everywhere thanks to the cloud. People don't buy Macs because they work

Having used Windows 10 + the Ubuntu Linux subsystem for a while now I think it's safe to say that the only reason I'll ever use a Mac again is if I am developing for iOS. Macs are still shipping with 10-year-old GNU utilities. LOL

Wow. So, your evidence that it's a "disaster" is one random blog post and a handful of reddit complaints... That's a BIG deal. I guess I should go uninstall Windows 10 from all the High-DPI devices that I'm running

by WayneBro 10y ago
Windows 10 is not a disaster and never has been. There's great stuff for everybody. It's the same rock-solid OS that every business depends on, that is still able to run all the software from 20 years ago, yet it also offers a ton
