I wonder if Microsoft have helped in making the PI capable of running Windows 10, for the same price.

Perhaps, in their eyes, a few hundred stolen identities & fraudulent purchases is collateral damage and petty compared to the type of threats they're dealing with.

I guess it was to gain traction. If they pushed all of these requirements upon the OEMs then perhaps Android wouldn't have been as tempting. So now they're having to lock the gate after the horse has bolted. But if you want to com

I do look upon myself as a technical user but if I'm still not technical enough to figure out how to prevent even less technical users from installing crap on their computers (without hindering their usefulness) then that is a fundam

Back in the day, I probably would have made use of that - instead they made developers bid to have their products higher in the listings.

> the user can compare prices between similar applications While that's excellent for the consumer, it's not so good for the developer where the pricing ends up being a race to the bottom.

This is the #1 reason Windows is no longer on my kid's computers; it's too easy to install crap-ware no matter what security package you use.

The rate at which security vulnerabilities are reported/abused isn't predictable. Please don't sit on a fix until the time is more "convenient", give it to me now and let me be the judge on how important this securi

Why can't we just have the choice to apply as soon as it's ready? If you don't want to apply the patches as soon as they're released, then you'd be more than welcome to put them on hold for 4 weeks yourself when it&

or, Google asked for 90 and Microsoft refused. Who's the asshole? (neither, or both)

I feel certain if this vulnerability had a higher impact (like remote execution) then it would have been over-ridden - or at least responded to quicker.

So the big deal is that we're now allowed to modify the code of a few libraries? Fair enough.

Why VS? So when things are removed, "we" can continue to maintain them. Sure, that provides no benefit for Microsoft but it does to its customers. It will also show the are serious about being "all open", rather than a f

> It's all out in the open. Really? So they release the source to a few of their developer frameworks and tools, and they're now "all open"? Don't get me wrong, as a long time C# developer I do appreciate the ges

So true. When I was a junior, code quality was the first thing I was taught, in the first week. While the code worked reasonably well, there was no indentation, spacing, comments and variable names longer than one letter (perhaps because my

While I am on your side of the fence, there are a lot of those whose sole language is Javascript (learned from client-side) and have no time/motivation/ability to learn a new language. For them, wouldn't it be cool if they co

The impact isn't as severe, for cultural reasons.

However, in the case of Windows, this issue isn't that much severe as it would be on a unix-like, for example. With the set up of Windows servers I've seen, only the admin logs in anyway. It's not really used as a "multi

Well, I find curl easier to type: curl www.example.com | ... wget -O - www.example.com | ... I guess it depends on what you're trying to achieve.

And the significance being, this compiler can handle code complex enough to create a compiler.

So you'd prefer to be able to just double click to run any downloaded "executable"? But anyway, the problem you described is the fault of your vendor, not "Linux".
