I will upgrade Windows 10, even on my older machines, too. I will upgrade Windows 10 to... Windows 10 in a VM under Linux. The Windows will have unnecessary network functions, like web browsers, Windows update etc. disabled, to minimize the attack surface.

Bye-bye, Microsoft. No money of mine will enter your pockets again.

Shame on me, I forgot the IBM family of editors, with the mighty XEDIT, and its modern incarnations like THE.

Efficiency TRUMPs quality, after all.

Kudos to this mathematician for solving this hard problem, which is well above the capabilities of 90 percent of 2nd graders.
