Oh, I agree. Version numbers are just a marketing term for most
commercial software. Whether it was "Rev 2" or "Service Pack 1" or
"The Actual Working Version" or "Rebooted" it was a pretty small
stretch from 8.0

I would. At least the changes are as much as 7 to 8 and 8.1 to 10. Maybe we
should call it 9

I would not count Windows 8.1 as a separate version, and I

Oh yes - True - I forgot about that particular example. Somewhat similar to the
Sales example I mentioned. But, yes - I have seen a NUMBER of places - where
the "Cash register" & Order Entry were actually Tablets. I've seen this a
number of times - and usually I query the person about what it is

Two, actually. There was no Windows 9. There is a whole other

Another example.
Went to the Apple store yesterday and bought a MacBook Air. The
demonstrator/salesperson used a smartphone to place the order,
enter the Credit Card, and print the receipt. No cash register involved.
But back at the office, somebody is running the sales and accounting system
Baffled me, too. However, I think that "inking" may refer to the some new
facilities in Win 10 for pen input. I never used
that and never will, but I think it's kind of an analog to Cortana, another way
to get faster input into tablets and other
mobile devices. So my "inking" is my pen input.
35,250 is the count and the look on their face is always stunned.
Granted this is a multi company db where the same session, table in our
world, is in multiple times with the last 3 characters attributed to the
"company" it is associated with. How many companies do we have now? 5

Yes, there are. Any use case where somebody has to walk around and then
at some point go back to a PC to enter things as a result of walking
around is a prime target for this.

Yeah, developers are a tiny percentage of the zillions of users of
computers. Scientists need huge displays for data visualization,
financial traders for complex displays, etc. Many other folks are
running their business just fine on tiny screens for email, texts,

crucially has a Privacy tab where you can turn off all the mothership-

Unfortunately it never will be the year of Linux on the desktop without
things like Ubuntu. Mint seems to be overtaking it a bit now though.

Anyone wanna talk about the privacy issue in Win 10 free upgrade, about
the clause "Sending typing and inking to Micro$oft..."?
I dunno whether it meant a keylogger.
