Latest Windows 10 build loves up cloud, banishes 'strange grey bar' Microsoft has released Insider Preview Build 14361 for Windows 10 on PC and Mobile with a huge boost for building microservices and cloud. You can now run Docker natively on Windows 10 with Hyper-V containers, to build, ship and run containers using nano server in technical preview five of Windows Sever 2016, that’s due in the …

I didn't down vote you but I expect it's possible to fix the WiFi card issue, especially if you have a wired connection. I always offer it to the people who come to me complaining about a malicious Windows 10 upgrade that's broken their WiFi. Invariably they've said "No, just roll it back to Windows 7".
Come on now hands up there. No not you experts who lurk around this place but the 'Joe/Jolene average user'.
Well? I don't see many out there.
Sure this will be of use to enterprise users but for the average home user? Nope.
Do they eve know or care about all this cloudy containery stuff? Somehow I doubt it.
As has been said,
Still won't install it EVER ok.
But they will soon enough. OneDrive? Cloudy Office? Pushing your data to their cloud? It's headed there. They don't want you to keep anything on the local PC but instead put it in their cloud so it can be monetized.. either by paying rent or maybe analyzed for ads.
Do try to keep up and also: be afraid. Be very afraid.
I guess not enough people were up with MS wanting to take them to the grey bar.
Wanting to take them to to the grey bar.
Wanting to take them to the grey bar, grey bar, grey bar.
Rumours persist that they've still got something they want to put in your computer. They've got something to put in your computer. They've got something to put in your computer. At the grey bar, grey bar, grey bar! (It's that f*****g GWX Windows 10 update, sadly).
Looked at the new OneDrive app. Okay-ish, but not a placeholder replacement so no use if I want to leave (for example) 50GB of music files in a OneDrive folder in the cloud and use the XBox music app to play without the files being stored locally as well. Getting there though, just slowly...
I'm just amazed I've not seen anyone mention the penguin yet, followed by a personal anecdote listing full system specs, plus brand/flavour/colour/number of their preferred version and about how it's revolutionised their life, and the lives of all those around them. finished off with an implication that any other choice is for idiots.
man up and get a proper OS. Solaris is life.

You forgot nan. You cant leave out poor old nan.
Supposedly, posting that old people get their interweb fix on *buntu gives it cred in the usability stakes (i.e. "if my nan can do it, so can you"). Personally I find this incredibly ageist and sexist, and I intend to write a telegram to my local MP about it...
>> We've given up, anyone still using Windows after the nagging we've done deserves the pain they get
You have not given up.
The only thing worse than a recently reformed smoker or someone that just "got religion" is the recent OSS convert. Suddenly everything else is painfully inferior, morally challenged and anyone that uses it is an idiot (and/or a shill).
I use windows 10 for 10-12 hours a day across 3 different machines. If it caused me "pain", I would use something else. And I'm certainly not going to change just because some anonymous muppet tells me about all of the pain that I am supposed to be experiencing.
"The only thing worse than a recently reformed smoker or someone that just "got religion" is the recent OSS convert."
Who are you calling recently reformed?
"I use windows 10 for 10-12 hours a day across 3 different machines."
Congratulations.
Also, you may want to keep an eye on your blood pressure. It was a joke. ;-)
Since Docker Containerization has become almost indespensible in the Cloud Computing arena, Why would any knowledgeable Cloud purchaser go with Microsoft when most all of the Docker development community indicate significant performance and reliability advantages of Docker under Linux and UNIX-like operating systems" (OS) clouds than on Hyper-V, or Azure.
Do not forget that Linux container has been introduced by Google (cgroup in 2006) to implement Borg(2008). Nowadays Chromium is powering Google Container Engine and Container Kuberntes Engine. ChromeOS which is powering also Chromebook will enable Android to run natively in a container of Chromebook.
Even since SatNad took over, I've seen Microsoft change massively - and all for the better. I grew up in an age where I loathed the way Microsoft siloed everything and they're now on a pathway to full interoperability with common systems.
This, together with their openness, is incredibly admirable.
