Microsoft is now all down with open source, and Linux and Apple and Android and whatever else. In so many ways, they have changed into a drastically different company in the last 3 years.
Donāt look at me. I havenāt run Windows (except in a virtual machine to test something) since May, 2006ā¦ I either use OS X (for work) or Linux.
Nothing salves a scarred psyche forced to run nightly builds of Vista for years like having nothing to do with Windows.

Errr no, i didnāt actually. But thanks for the warning! Iāll be sure to use the fashionable neologisms in future. I award you +10 smug points. Enjoy.
I only take payment in whuffie.
The smug is free though.

I wasnāt.
Iāve seen it reported by $SOMEGUYONTHEINTERNET (Iāll try and find it again) that one of those pesky Windows 10 updates on a dual-boot machine reverted the UEFI settings and deleted grub. He did the sensible thing and nuked the Windows install.
The problem here is that there are certain sets of hardware that donāt have good non-windows drivers so that isnāt always an option. (Of course, I donāt buy that hardware but other folks might.)

I remember the happy days of having to find and patch in a driver for HPās netbook clickpad, until eventually it was baked into the kernel. (And the beneficial discipline of not using a pointing device at all.)
Iām thinking of a new laptop for the first time in years: fun, in a way, to research whatās supported and what isnāt, yet.
