windows 8.1 has a really cool feature called "mouse lag" which makes your mouse stutter and so far it is my absolute favorite feature of microsoft windows 8.1, the operating system that cares about its users

not too long ago i helped a friend of my dad who got cryptolockered on a w7 machine. he did everything you could do right but it seems got hit by either a drive by flash exploit or a malicious flash "update" malware install banner either way he reinstalled the os (via geek squad the guys 70 so w/e) but asked me for advice so i steered him toward a chromebox upgraded to 8gb of ram for about $200 total. he describes it as "exactly like my old computer except it works without any hassle" its astounding to me that ms doesnt seem to get that there is a nontrivial amount of people (mostly olds) who just want a machine that works without them having to do anything. if youre going to have a million skus for poo poo and chromeos is eating your lunch at the low end why wouldnt you focus on at least one sku for the "simple working os" crowd? i understand this is the company that constantly sends updates for the updater and then uses that to push adware and broken updates but christ how hard is it to just buckle down and build something people want to use and add all the enterprise and poweruser bullshit as addons to a fundamentally sound os? i guess theres so much intertwined cruft that it would be impossible to separate out the poo poo that has a million dependencies from stuff 90% of users need and work from there but its just maddening to watch in the same way watching a mentally challenged kid try to assemble a jigsaw puzzle must be. all the pieces are there and you know what people want just do it gently caress

you're talking about microsoft releasing a OS that is completely different from anything they ever done. I mean, how modular are the newer versions of windows?

sears is a unique case. the guy in charge decided to pit all of the internal divisions against each other in a hunger-games style nightmare inspired by ayn rand it turned out as well as you'd expect http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2013-07-11/at-sears-eddie-lamperts-warring-divisions-model-adds-to-the-troubles
