jasec57322··on Windows Start Menu not starting? You're not alone
Does anybody here know how many devs/man-hours are assigned to what on the Windows OS? As with Twitter & Google, I believe that Microsoft spends exponentially more on implementing data collection, organisation & analysis, (i.e. monetising everything you do), than on actual user-facing features.

Hence the notable lack of functionality/features with the big-tech companies, (given the sheer amount of dev-hours consumed), because they spent at-least 100 hours designing and implementing the storage & analysis systems for the new data points a new feature creates).

What's wrong with carbon dioxide?

Why not just plant more trees?

jasec57322··on Useless Windows 10 Features
I have always wondered how many big syndicates and governments actually push their malware via the msn homepage. (Given that 99% of sysadmins will at some point be forced via msn, on the malware-portal that is Internet Explorer, to install a proper browser).

I really think, even if this isn't happening at scale, that this would be a great way to pwn even some of the biggest firms.
