is that from "the Laundry Files"? Pete

Hah... you don't believe to Santa, but believe to ONE OS everywhere?? Dude, time to grow up! Hardware is SO different and we have so different tasks on 'em that declaring one OS is obvious stupidity. One poor guy already tried to be "everywhere" - his corpse with tag "Java" on the foot still remembers us don't sit with one a_s_s on two chairs. Smartphone requires separate, compact OS with only libraries which make sense + mobile only stuff (like gyroscope, Wi-Fi, 3G, Battery, etc) + very "mobile specific" UI. Desktop is different and has no limits. Nadella thinks if phone and desktop have Button, that's it! One universal button fits all :) In reality his ugly _mobile_ buttons are horrible on desktop and nobody will enjoy using it. End of story and end of MS.

Thanks very much. I really appreciate it. :thumbsup:

It's like having the rug pulled out from under you. :) It was a pain, but I finally got my app re-written.

Every time we saw a sign saying, "Buy Now! Save 50%!", my dad would say, "Don't Buy Now! Save 100%!". That's how I feel about most buying opportunities these days. - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Yeah, exactly! I read it the other day on the LCD display of an ATM machine.

Maaaybe? :~

If it was 20 or even 50GB, I'd agree that it was probably from blowing away the rollback folder; but having a 250GB Windows folder before the upgrade is kinda insane. Makes me wonder if something else was going on. Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Fair enough. Thanks for the reply. I thought of the suggestion because I was reading an older article which had popped up and then examined the author's profile and it seemed to indicate the person hadn't been around in a while. Thanks for your time.

I wish I were still middle aged!!!but then again, I get to drawa pension and take withdrawals from my retirement savings without actually working.
