But, if we're gonna talk about GWX updates, shouldn't that belong to Windows 7 and 8 news? Since GWX is no part of Windows 10 itself, its just a tool to get you on to Windows 10 from either of these systems. And no, I'm not talking on a limited scale but on a web-wide scale as well, everytime I read Windows 10 news, half of it must be the same news about GWX.

As a matter of classification, since 'GWX' = 'Get Windows 10' it's bound to be classed as related to 'Windows 10' even if it's irrelevant for people who have Win10 installed. But I suspect what you're seeing is also a matter of 'hot topics': there isn't much to say about aspects of an OS that actually work well at doing desirable things, whereas there's obvious public interest in telemetry, OS-level advertising, forced auto-updates and, yes, GWX. And for Microsoft-watchers these are all aspects of trying to work out MS's strategy and its likely effects on the industry, starting with the Win10 adoption rate.

You did? Awesome, glad to hear it. I can't even make it a sentence in to that dude's condescending shitsmear posts. He could be posting the meaning of life and I'd never see it. :)

It isn't that people just resist change .. A lot of people have legacy hard-ware and older games (not just steam / gog) and so on. If someone has an old car / truck that they have restored, they don't need someone trying to turn it into a newer model for them. Not everyone wants Windows 10 on their hardware. Just saying ...

*knocks out guy pointing gun at PookaMustard's head, takes gun, uncocks it and puts it away*

There, now there's no-one and nth forcing you to read all the threads and articles about it.

There are news to be seen out of the system with its constantly-updating structure and what else. Its just that as you mentioned, a ton just want to hear the same repeated topics that use MS as a punchbag. I want to hear actual news (be it new worthy or cringeworthy content from the updates or whatever), not the same old content recycled in many forms. Its getting tiring when most of the Windows 10 news one can look up always talk about GWX which is not a component of Windows 10. But yeah, I guess I agree with your general direction.
What if the guy pointing the gun didn't exist at all? Oh, nice punch to the air! Yeah, you took whatever the air's holding and threw it to the ground! Badass!

Sarcasm aside, since I'm on Windows 10, I'm using Cortana to bring up news related to Windows 10, by my own will, and, instead I'm getting news about GWX. By all means, let's just focus on fresh new content, MS punchbag ones are more than welcome too, since I'm mostly tired to see 'GWX' everytime I check the news feed, and on a near daily basis.

Actually no one likes Cobol, the fact it's still around is due to the industry and credit card companies having 30 million lines of legacy code written in it, and it would cost a lot of money to re-write the code (which they should do) but instead add another $2million per year maintaining portions of it to keep it running...

Cobol is like Latin. It's dead, but used everywhere. If given half a chance I'm sure the programmers would jump ship and go to something more reasonable, probably Java...

...Java is reasonable?

With regards to credit card transactions and stuff, yes i'd say Java is reasonable. The first OO language i learned was Java, which actually taught and made me understand HOW the system sort of works together. Yes the 'everything must be an object' is stupid and requires workarounds for where to start, but overall most of Java is fairly sound.

But what about people screaming at me that Java isn't secure?

In what way? Java usually transforms via JIT to native code, so the security really comes down to either memory usage, or encryption which there's plenty of encryption protocols. Sections that have to be more secure can be written in another language (C or C++) but 99% of the code would be fine in Java.

Well like Flash, you should never use it online or really on your own machine. (So I've heard.) Of course, people could be recirculating things that were issues back in say, Java 6?

Or how Chrome refuses to run the Java plugin?

Few padawan learn the language of the machine, "assembly". :)

But i know a lot of assembly language.. You can call me 'Sensei'. :P

Alas Java isn't one of the languages that likes you to mix asm with code, it's 'compile once run anywhere' tries to go hardware generic. Still, after much assembly language it's only really relevant for either bottleneck sections, boot-strapping and other low-level stuff the language can't properly describe, or for huge memory restrictions where every byte counts.
