      A YouTube Video About MS vs. Linux- Comments?

      By raymac46 · Posted

      In my view, it's all a matter of inertia. No matter what a person gets in the way of hardware - desktop, laptop, Chromebook, iMac, smartphone, tablet - they expect it to have an O/S preinstalled out of the box. And when the software is obsolete nowadays and the hardware is still perfectly usable - they junk the machine and get a new one. This model has worked a treat for Dell and Microsoft for decades. It sure works for Android tablets. Of all the desktop OSs around only Linux has not gained much of a foothold in the preinstalled market. The one success it did have - netbooks - was quickly snuffed out with a horrid incapable version of Windows. I think the reason Linux never gets anywhere in the prebuilt market is that any Linux user can install it on pretty much any machine. But that's about 5% of the computer users out there. The other 95% just buy new. Look at all the pearl-clutching going on about the demise of Windows 10. At the same time, I'm running a desktop system with Linux that came with Windows Vista originally. Horses for courses.

      Microsoft Windows 11 Out-of-Band Update

      By Corrine · Posted

      Microsoft issued an Out-of-band (OOB) update that includes quality improvements. The update is cumulative and includes security fixes and improvements from the June 10, 2025, security update (KB506842), as well as the following:   [Fix for incompatibility issue with Easy Anti-Cheat] This update addresses an incompatibility issue where Windows might restart unexpectedly when opening games that use the Easy Anti-Cheat service. Easy Anti-Cheat automatically installs with certain games to enhance security and prevent cheating in multiplayer online PC games.     Note: Windows users likely didn't experience this issue because the update that led to the incompatibility issue (KB506842) was not offered to devices with Easy Anti-Cheat installed.   This OOB update downloads and installs automatically from Windows Update and Microsoft Update on devices with Easy Anti-Cheat installed and on devices that have not installed KB506842 yet.

      Oh, 100%. That FUD changed many years ago and Microsoft fully accepts Linux and see it is a tool for even their development.

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello,   I think the "latest" event covered in that video was in 2004… twenty-one (21) years ago. A quick search of Microsoft's MVP web site reveals something like forty-eight MVPs that have something to do with Linux in their bios, which would have been just as inconceivable back then. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
