Ballmer: 'I call it all Windows, all the time' This was the week when NSA PRISM whistleblower Edward Snowden decided to lead the world a merry chase, like an ostentatious Phileas Fogg, or a WikiLeaks-inspired Where's Wally, with obfuscation ever his watchword. To put it another way, he took off from Hong Kong and no one's sure where he is any more. The man who outed …

As it happens, it's *alleged* sexual assault, and he's not yet been actually *charged* with anything. He, of course, denies the allegations, claiming the relationships in question were consensual, and reckons the whole thing is a put-up-job to make him more easily extraditable to the US.
He has, however, offered to meet and co-operate with the Swedish investigators at his current "abode", or to go to Sweden if guarantees are issued vis-a-vis his safety from extradition to the US. The Swedes have refused both options.
... you want people to pay your overpriced upgrade fee's? If people got improvements but each incarnation from Vista onwards has become a more lumbering beast. The operating system takes up too much memory, fails to utilize the processes adequately leaving PC's with multiple core processors failing to take advantage of all the extra power! It's ability to allocate and deallocate and reallocate memory is appallingly bad.
It's size is horrendous, it's the blue whale of the operating systems. Nothing is done to improve it's functionality concerning speed and efficiency!!! It merely wallows along like a big blue whale.
If Apple was using big cats as names for it's operating system Microsoft should have been using names like Slug, Snail, Sloth etc as names for Windows incarnations.
Maybe it's time for MS to either redo Windows completely from Scratch or move over and let another company move in and develop a low cost operating system that doesn't require ever faster processors and ever more memory just to let the operating system run at all without struggling.
