Will Win10 ship with an optional Win7 theme? The "AeroGlass" theme was beautiful and my hardware is fast enough - sure some low end mobile hardware can't handle it. Will Win10 RTM still requires a Microsoft Outlook/Live&

In 3D CAD it's usually a parametric geometric modeling kernel. Everything is reversible and changeable, it usually it depends on an tree/directed graph.

Offtopic: a free open source Email server (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) written in Go would be awesome. I always hate how complicated and time consuming the configuration is of the good old postfix and the various other packages.
