I expect that the threshold has been crossed and [06:03] Techrights-sec that's why they started to "give" away the new versions. It's probably also [06:03] Techrights-sec why so many budget items have been moved under the heading "azure" so as [06:03] Techrights-sec to provide the illusion of growth somewhere. [06:04] schestowitz I can name a few that were rebranded azure. Remember that "SURFACE" is also a REUSED brand ("big ass table") [06:05] schestowitz this means that finding any info on an EPIC blunder is now close to impossible. http://techrights.org/2009/04/25/microsoft-censorship-on-the-surface/ [06:05] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Negative Review of MS Surface Published, Microsoft Contacts Blogger and Has It Removed | Techrights [06:15] Techrights-sec yes nymshifting is a common tactic among many companies. M$ uses it a lot [06:15] Techrights-sec since NT5 bombed in the reviews. Also, technically, they should not be able [06:15] Techrights-sec to trademark common dictionary words. [06:15] Techrights-sec But as far as the budgets go, M$ did a big reshuffle after it was noted in their [06:15] Techrights-sec SEC filings that their biggest line item was advertising. The reshuffle did [06:15] Techrights-sec not change anything except the names. The "research" is advertising, etc. [06:16] Techrights-sec By putting more and more under the "azure" heading, m$ can fake growth, [06:16] Techrights-sec especially when combined with the efforts of its minion stenographers out [06:16] Techrights-sec in what's left of the trade press.

[06:32] schestowitz no "other links" today? [06:37] Techrights-sec oops. a few got tacked onto yesterday's by mistake. [06:37] schestowitz Should I just get them from there, orrrr.....?

Since you track the ones you've seen, [07:30] Techrights-sec can you just use the 2021-07-28 file, counting back from the end? [07:30] Techrights-sec I've tweaked the upload script to make the other links read-only after [07:30] Techrights-sec uploading them. That should reduce these frequently occuring errors. ● Jul 29 [08:09] *job has quit (connection closed) [08:17] Techrights-sec On the plus side, the 'other' links are generally unimportant.
