    While all the 'doomsday' killing it didn't happen, AFAIK M$ did infact buy the parent company. Lots of information out there on this....Trust me, I'd love to find out its not true!

    FWIW, this was posted from one of my Win10 test rigs......

        Finally someone here realized I was yanking their chain....I've fed quite a few into buying that when they're posting the usual "install linux" in a thread where someone is asking about a windows issue (yes, devious & counter-productive, but I hate those kind of responses). You just wrecked it all, now I can't do this anymore!
