Nah, this couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the fact that most users don’t want their desktop to look and to work like a phone.

Microsoft blames the PC makers. My source cited to me the PC makers’ “inability to deliver,” a damning indictment that I think nicely explains why the firm felt it needed to start making its own PC and device hardware.

It’ll be interesting if Microsoft continues to pursue this already-failing strategy of making all PCs (even workstations) into crap phone-like single-tasking experiences.

If so, in the long run this will be good as it will utterly destroy the dominance of Windows and Office, leading to more space for competing OSes.

Ha, I just virtualized my own PC and am now running a copy of my computer on my computer.

Virtualization is so damn cool.

Time to switch from using my VPN from some of the time to all of the time.

This plan of course has little to nothing to do with piracy. As one commenter pointed out, it’s all about getting people used to the idea that they can only visit ISP-approved sites – since most ISPs are content producers, the end goal is to get rid of competitors such as Netflix.

Guess where the many, many “false” positives are going to come from? Right, all those people “infringing” by visiting Netflix, and those using their connections heavily in general.

Think that sounds unlikely? Just wait. I guarantee it will happen.

If you are not using a VPN now and are at all computer savvy, why not? You say you are not doing anything wrong, but the ISP doesn’t care about that.

It’s just trying to get more money out of you.
