    Ars Technica[^]:

    If you own a system with an Intel 6th generation Core processor—more memorably known as Skylake—and run Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you'll have to think about upgrading to Windows 10 within the next 18 months.

    You are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch.

        Amen, brother :) The problem is that many companies have a large investment in hardware/software that runs only in Windows XP/7. Linux may be used with a Windows VM to run the software, but what about the hardware? I see much wailing and gnashing of teeth from MS's real clients - the enterprise clients.

        If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill
