Windows 10 a failure by Microsoft's own metric – it won't hit one billion devices by mid-2018

Windows is dead... hopefully

The events of the last day in my household seem to indicate it.

Old 2010'ish pc, still well servicable, insert Linux mint 17 DVD and reboot

whirr whirr whirr, type in root password, type in user account name and password, check timezone, whirr whirr whirr . reboot.

Login

well this is nice, wonder if I can run my steam games on here, install steam... login, ok start on them.

Wow, got TF2 , left4 dead, all halflife based game, KSP, wow ... Alien:isolation, borderlands too.

Stir in all the other applications I use and I'm left wondering why exactly am I still using windows.

Oh and to everyone who say "win10 more secure" please please f*** off

We had a win10 PC owned by someone surfing dodgey streaming sites and ended up with 1/2 a dozen spambots on it that no anti-virus could get rid of...

Nuked it from orbit eventually...only way to be sure
