Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) was the most actively traded on Nasdaq,
weighing on the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite after the surprising
departure of a key executive. The stock fell 3.2 percent to $27.09.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The computer is mine, and the license that went with it is mine. But what's the
best (least expensive/lowest hassle) way to get a *legal* install on the
machine?
(I know, you're going to tell me "Put Linux on it!" And I likely
will. But it's going to be a family computer, and a bunch of stuff that other
people need requires Windows.)

It came with windows xp . It started asking for validation??
Simply too much fuss and bother to learn how to register it.
It has been a very long time since my last Windows computer.
From openSuse to Ubuntu to Mint, and finally to an old friend.
Redhat is now Fedora.
I had to learn the nuances of the developers view.
Done.
Maybe a mandrake variant next time.
For now Fedora is nice.
Why bother with Windows .
Fedora is very fast compared to Xp.

Much earlier this evening, I was reading an article that
I wanted to share
with you all, that stated bluntly that
Sinofsky was fired. Back home, I went
looking for it, and
found there must now be 100 articles about Sinofsky. They
keep multiplying by the hour, like that StarTrek episode
where all these
copies of the Enterprise keep popping out of
hyperspace, each one bearing a
different reality. I never
found the one I was originally looking
for.
In any event, the sacking of Sinofsky apparently is a
really big
deal. It dragged the entire NASDAQ down. It
didn't take long, and few care to
admit it, but Windows 8 is
already a failure. Those who know, in the know, know
a
failure when they see one.
The most interesting article I read was this one. It
really gets into
dimensions I hardly knew existed. It has the back story
behind Windows 8's launch disaster, where the tablet crashed
in mid
stride.
So we have heard that two women will take over the lead,
Larson-Green and another who's name I don't recall. It is
said they have the
skills to integrate disparate divisions
(Here auto-spell first interpreted my
clumsy keyboarding as
"desperate divisions". Perhaps it knows more than
I?).
However, this news did nothing to ensure investors, who
sold
Microsoft shares in record numbers. No wonder. It was
Larson-Green who invented
the Ribbon. Not satisfied with
mucking up the interface for Office,
Larson-Green became a
trusted Sinofsky lieutenant who led the development of
Windows 8's Metro UI.
Here is a
famous YouTube video
that drives home just how awkward that interface is.
Doomed! Please, if you are sensitive to colourful language,
DO NOT WATCH THAT
VIDEO! Back away now, and visit some other
comment. In defense, I don't think
one can describe the
Metro UI without such language.

BBC Not an
idiotPad! The organisation said it had at one point considered using
an Apple iPad, but ultimately opted for Samung's tablet after discussing the
project with both firms. Now what is that going to do for the
relative sales figures of Samsung and Apple?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
