Windows 10 Warning: Anger At Microsoft Rises With Serious New Failure

: https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonk...ws-10-warning- serious-failure-provokes-questions-and-anger/#55803aeb6a52 "The drama began yesterday as Windows 10 users suddenly found that Search was broken with a black bar showing where search results should be, even for those who tried to perform a local search of their files. Breaking with tradition (1,2,3,4,5), Microsoft was fast to act blaming a temporary server-side issue. But the explanation instead kicked a hornets nest. First, the fix doesnt work for everyone. Second, and more worryingly, Microsofts explanation doesnt add up and it has prompted serious questions to be asked about how the operating system works and what personal data it is sharing." Sounds like Microsoft is doing the Linux advocacy for us. Is 2020 the year of the Linux desktop? The unwashed bearded freaks of the Linux community have been squawking for decades about Linux taking over the Windows desktop. At last check, the numbers for Linux desktop are actually going down, if that's even possible. Let's be honest, if Linux couldn't capitalize on such awful Windows releases as Windows ME and Windows 8, it will never gain traction as a desktop operating system. I do agree with you that Microsoft is far better at advocating Linux than the Linux zealots are. How could they possibly be worse? BTW, that site is God awful looking. Did snit (Michael Glasser) have something to do with it? It sure looks that way. |

The unwashed bearded freaks of the Linux community have been squawking for decades about Linux taking over the Windows desktop. At last check, the numbers for Linux desktop are actually going down, if that's even possible. Time is on Linux's side. Microsoft can't hope to keep everyone using Win10 with these ridiculous bugs and invasions of privacy. Let's be honest, if Linux couldn't capitalize on such awful Windows releases as Windows ME and Windows 8, it will never gain traction as a desktop operating system. Windows Me was long before Linux became more suitable for typical users, and Windows 8.x came along when Win7 was still supported. The end of support for Win7 coinciding with Win10 becoming a mess means an impetus for people to try Linux. I do agree with you that Microsoft is far better at advocating Linux than the Linux zealots are. How could they possibly be worse? That's your opinion. In any event, I'm all for it if Win10 drives people to Linux. BTW, that site is God awful looking. Did snit (Michael Glasser) have something to do with it? It sure looks that way. You've never heard of Forbes? -- Joel Crump |

LOL What do most users really need WinDOS for, anymore? At last check, the numbers for Linux desktop are actually going down, if that's even possible. Even if true, more than made-up for, by Android Linux increases. :-D How is Winphone going? :-D Let's be honest, if Linux couldn't capitalize on such awful Windows releases as Windows ME and Windows 8, it will never gain traction as a desktop operating system. You're right about that. It was proof that the markert was borked, that most people felt locked into monopolyware. And now, with the "decktop" in decline, there is no room for growth.

(idiocy snipped) That's the best that you can do? Thanks for the laughs, troll. Especially funny is when your only response to Winphone's failure is to bring up the "OpenMoko". *Gosh* I think that Winphone had about 1000x the resources behind it! I think that Winphone had the full backing of the mighty Micro$oft Corp behind it! And it's a FAILURE. LOL! Oh, and the success of Android proves that "fragmentation" beats "committees".

And guess what his reason for Linux desktop's failure is? Wait for it................ FRAGMENTATION. So there goes your theory chrisv, about more choice is better. At least when it comes to Linux. In other words, a bunch of people willing to spend $6.99 on a cup of coffee just so they can use the WiFi at an overrated coffee joint are the typical computer user. I rest my case.
