We'll see. MS claims I won't ( http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/windows-technical-preview... ). However, now in 2015 I can set up a Windows box in an hour or so thanks to Chocolatey (and to the coming OneGet)

I don't think it is really possible to 'give Powershell a try'. PS is extremely powerful, but there's a lot to learn. It is not a drop-in replacement for bash at all because it's so different.

It would be so great if the connector/port module was customizable _on_ the laptop. I.e. I could get a laptop with USB-C, DP, USB-A, while someone else could use the same machine built with USB-A, VGA, card reader. Without all these cl

The guy has probably never heard of the Seiko Spring Drive, where the hands are moved by a spring and regulated by a brake. Therefore they're completely smooth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsBTXgksr4s

Yes, they do change, you're right. However, if it comes to sex, people do not care that much about risks. Condom usage decreases the prevalence and spread of STDs. That is a very hard fact. Therefore I guess that in this specific case

£419, not £639. That's $619 -- reasonable considering that the UK price contains VAT and there's some cost of repatriating the profit for MS.
