Nails. Coffins. "Goodbye," Long-Term Friend-we-love-to-hate bastardised brainchild of a billionaire boffin; "Hello," Johhny-come-lately Windows Idiocracy Edition driven by focus groups and seemingly misguided sheep.

Banana Corp and Bony Inc. have done well, what can we do???

Let's just ditch all of our uniqueness and do what everyone else has already done!!!
Can you spell "marketing?" or even "late?" never mind...

'There's a tile for that' ™

For my part I shan't be be now bothering to take the relevant MS admin exams for this new 'thing'. I don't see the corporate value. I can kick myself in ten years (or maybe just feel smug about being able to run my own damn code on my own damn processor, meh).
