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

Re: Pulling dick moves has historically worked really well for Apple.

Name six dick moves from Apple ? I know these don't fall strictly within the same boundaries as MS's recent superdick moves, but they piss me off sufficiently that I avoid the Apple brand.

iTunes (worst commercial software yet encountered)

Pricing.

Faulty OS update downloads.

iPhones locked to first SIM inserted.

Close to unlawful returns policy on faulty stuff outside 1-year warranty.

Crippled USB on iPhone.

Crippled Bluetooth on iPhone.

Fixed battery (iPhone, iPod, iPad).

Fixed hard drive (that broke) (early iPods)

Glued casing (laptops).

OS distrib CD customised to model (can render old Macs fit only for landfill if CD is missing).
