I believe they would have had the sense to give the task to someone not affiliated with their company.

But 32-bit was an improvement, and something that developers actually desired.

Mine just made IE crash or blue screen... Like most pages did, I guess... But mine was intentional.

I've developed software for Windows since the 90s, and for the past 4 years Linux is my host (where the IDE is). I run Windows in VMs , mostly so I can roll-back to a snapshot when something breaks, or start in a predictable state. Win

The type of developer who prefers Windows wouldn't get a job in a place that uses GNU/Linux. The rest of the things you mention doesn't really apply to developers (when developing, at least).

It's a BS statement. More likely the fund will be squandered (if cash). If it's in the form of a voucher, it will be ignored. But let's say every low skilled worker actually wanted to become a skilled-worker, then who will pe

Well, if a candidate whipped out code from their work project then I would not hire, as it demonstrates a severe lack of respect of their employer's intellectual property. Of course, unless it was already on Github, etc. [while I&#x2

If that's the only reason to use a "real" database, then what you have is a 100MB+ multi-process (and potentially costly) library to perform a few calculations. (I don't disagree with you, just answering your question)

Me too! However, in the Windows shell a "folder" is not necessarily a "directory" - it's just something that may contain something. Control Panel, for example. A directory is a type of folder.

UWP comes from the "cloud-first mobile-first" Microsoft. Neither are well suited to enterprise, and one of which has been canned.

Cars are physical objects that degrade with use/time. An operating system will run as good as it did 10 years ago (just not as good as those released 10 years later)

But, would you consider UWP being appropriate with those types of applications? I mean, if an application is well suited for UWP, then it's probably better off as a web app.

Exactly. Your boss isn't doing their job, so "fire" them (get a new one).

I see how they're deadly silent during the trial, but as soon as you cancel you're bombarded with emails nagging to return.

API keys are stored on the computer (even accidentally pushed to github, etc) Credentials for web interfaces are stored in our heads. People are still able to use their own computers - via the web interface, which is under the full control

Replace Google/Android with Microsoft/Windows in your comments throughout this thread, and it will still be correct. But at least Android is $0, and I have the choice to use a fork. (not that I would use Android for productive wor

I mostly agree. Basically, you want Ubuntu/Mint/Fedora, but the last time you used one of them was 10 years ago. I needed to escape Windows as soon as I installed the Windows 8 preview, and realised Microsoft's incentives whe

It's grouped by default on 10, and you can have the title on or off. Personally, I have both set to "only when full". I miss that feature on Cinnamon.
