Wow, that's the end of an era. I suppose that also means all WIN32 API documentation is no longer available offline.
We recommend that users use full-disk backup solutions from other vendors.
This is the only major bummer for me. I'm one of the (likely few) people who use this, and I also use it across the network to create system images for Windows 10 UEFI machines.
Microsoft's biggest misstep in mobile was trying to unify the desktop and mobile experience into a weird amalgamation OS that doesn't work or feel right for either. Win 10 is an improvement over 8 but still awful compared to the straightforward, non-confusing Win 7. Apple understands users expect different OSes for iPhones vs Macs.
Aesthetically, Aero is a phenomenal display of bad taste, that we'd all better forget.
When I see this kind of comment, I wonder if the commenter has actually used Windows 10 for any non-trivial amount of time.
Search anything related to Metro vs Aero or Win 7 UI vs Win 10 and it's almost all complaints about the dull, monotone, flat look of Win 10 (a failed unification with the no-longer-existing Windows Phone), or journalists who need to toe the MSFT party line in order to continue to get access to future stories.
EDIT: Oh, also the fact that it automatically copies the snip'd area to your clipboard is nice.
Now those in less fortunate circumstances that have to connect to whatever public WiFi is available will simply be screwed if they dare get a modern Windows machine.
The products Microsoft donates to classrooms in impoverished countries will be nice paperweights.
How much do you want to bet this one gets reversed after user backlash?
I guess that the fact I didn't notice says something.
ReFS can do it (if you turn on the feature for more than just metadata) but it's slow and kind of a flop.
What's their beef with all things offline?
