Nice work, Daemon. Been there, done that. The later rc’s are worse than the betas.

168 views in UTube and no comments.

That guy needs to learn how to use computers, he comes across as a complete noob who cant even get an OS installed on a computer.
Funny how millions of others have installed Win7 many times without a single problem.

Ive been using it on my old laptop (compaq presario m2000, 2GRAM) and ive been using win7 build 7000, 7068 and now 7077 have i had a single problem with it… NO.

I know its easier to diss the opposition, but IF anyone ever actually looks at your UTUBE post they will (probably rightly) think you should not be “in the job” of reviewing software or operating systems.

Clearly, its not your field of skill.

why did you not get some screen shots of your BSOD’s or provice anything to backup what your saying, or is it just FUD ??

The comments above, supposedly from “Dave”, are actually from a Microsoft shill who typically goes by the name “Darryl” (he got banned from LinuxToday for trolling there perpetually).

What a pleasant surprise. We talk about attack dogs and we find a familiar one right here in this post.

Give it up, “Darryl”. You fool nobody. Your IPs are known in Linux sites.

What Else is New

The Need for Reliable Governance at Freenode

Why the current and high-profile (albeit somewhat covert) owner of the network, which seems to care about Free software (it has made him very wealthy), should put the whole thing in reliable hands and not attempt to 'monetise' it in any way

eBPF isn't Microsoft's. But sites that work closely with Microsoft keep mentioning that term as if Microsoft created it and champions it (typical tactics).

The EPO's War on Justice and Assault on the Law -- Part 2: Just Another Pro Forma Rubber-Stamping Exercise?

Half a decade after Benoît Battistelli ‘kidnapped’ and then defamed judges (it started in 2014) António Campinos has done nothing to restore lawfulness at the EPO, as controversial referral case G 1/21 shows; in fact, they recently approved European software patents after pressure from Campinos himself

Doing Justice by Reporting Injustice

Mass Litigation Over the Salary Adjustment Procedure (SAP), Basically an Attack on All EPO Staff, Even EPO Pensioners

EPO 'Dialogue' With Staff Representatives is as Dead as 'Dialogue' With the Union

“Yet another failure of social [sic] dialogue [sic] for Mr Campinos,” according to staff representatives, who rightly bemoan the Office president not giving a damn about staff; things quickly deteriorate in Europe’s second-largest institution, which does even worse things than granting loads of illegal European software patents (harming software producers and users alike)
