Wow. UWP isn't a mobile OS ported to Windows. The whole WinRT is an OS and WinRT is an API set confused things. Forget that there was an ARM tablet. WinRT means the Windows Run Time. It's a set of API's that are built with th

Thanks Mr thr0waway1239. I would love to answer your questions! I've never built anything even remotely approaching the scale of MS Office...that being said, I try not to take the experiences I do have and use them to belittle the work

So let me get this straight... Microsoft programmers where terrible programmers that were expert enough to break code for other people while still having it work well for their customers?

"the right ones"...what would the "rights ones" have been besides shipping functioning software for their users and making money for their shareholders?

Wow. That's a positive and well informed opinion. Like a white-rhino-unicorn on a HN Microsoft thread...

With all of these comments that know so much better about everything related to software than Joel or Microsoft, no wonder so many of you have written successful office suite software that has a billion customers. Oh wait...

I can't wait to see this guys face when he finds out that Jordan Hubbard wants to implement something very much like systemd in a future version of freebsd.

There is more to managing servers than just logging in. Using a central store for users and groups can provide consistency across systems. I'll grant you that LDAP is pretty complicated and there are vendors, at least, that are looking

I personally think this is click bait. One of the features that is advertised about this device is secure boot and bit locker. I'm not sure that they ever offered a supported way to disable those features. It sounds like they were patc

Service Fabric is a system that came out of this research. It's in use now by some game companies and Microsoft uses it as the platform that they build their offerings for Azure on. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us&#x2

That's the thing. There are many things that are really important that don't actually touch every single person on the planet. One of the most widely used OS's ever is called Tron. Does that effect me? Not really. Is it impor

Cutler is a nerd-hero of mine. Yeah, the NT kernel design is pretty frickin awesome. There is a great book about the run up to NT's release. He took on the job because he thought that writing operating systems would happen fewer and fe

That's great news, and probably needs to be more widely known.

That's great. Anything that sees more competition in the search space is good for the Internet.

OUCH. It's weird that companies that companies who compete so fiercely in the same markets really ever manage to work together. Once Oracle became a systems manufacturer HP had to know that they would boff them. From a technical perspe

Are they doing security testing as they go? I'm really looking forward to seeing how it fares against the typical "use after free" javascript errors that pwn to own always demo's. I'm not particularly a fan of Rust,

This is great news! I know that some of the devs from MS visit this site. Good work guys!

The first couple of comments are missing the point about this. Joe actually built a real operating system with a variation of C#. Some of the lessons they learned will be informing the next version of C#. Mads has said that the changes that
