Technically they probably could... but whats the point? I would think that the cost to move all that already exists on windows to a Linux kernel would cost many millions and don't see how it would make its money back over even a decade

I really can't see it. It would take a huge team YEARS to do anywhere near 99.9% compatibility for windows 10 on linux. No way they would break compatibility like that. Especially since they are continuing win32 based APIs into the win

Guess they had to go somewhere as Apple's unwillingness to have GPLv3 code effectively killed off bash updates. Slightly disappointed, but guess they had to go somewhere and zsh is going to be well supported going forward

Good point on EPYC, I had assumed these would be using a different design like earlier generations, but the chiplet design makes this not only possible, but likely where the best chiplets are going. I agree that 16 core will arrive this gen

Potentially is a yield issue / segmentation issue. Releasing the top SKU as a 12 core instead of 16 core part gives AMD: 1.) Still the highest core count "Mainstream" part. I would expect Intel to fire back with a higher IPC

Free Trade is the answer. Most national civil aviation organisations defer to the aviation authority of the country where the manufacturer is based. So FAA is trusted/expected to maintain the standards for Boeing. The last thing Boeing

I agree. I've been nervously watching slack as a current Hipchat user, working out what our next move is (pretty much Slack or Microsoft Teams seemed the saner choices), and this makes me want to have nothing to do with them. It reeks

It might be, but if its running in my DC I can isolate it to authenticated VPN users and audit the hell out of it. Also helps that I can deploy it single tenant. I can't do that with third party SaaS.

I agree with not needing an RTOS and the undesirability of rolling it yourself. However Red Hat Linux has passed just as many government and banking standards (FIPS, PCI, etc) as almost any other vendor (MS, legacy UNIX), combined with a 7-

Really not sure on the "EPYC" name for an enterprise part. It seems more enthusiast then button down enterprise. But as long as it doesn't exclusively come in servers with glowing neons and tri-colour fans, I don't exact

Many Virtualised workloads have many VMs with light CPU utilisation on each. As such this kind of core configuration allows lots of VMs to be doing low intensity background tasks at the same time. As such this would be ideal for things like
