Microsoft's pitch to Windows admins: buy a Secured-core PC so you don't need to configure extra security settings. I'm sure there's a great reason why it's not just baked in everywhere?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Am I the only one that feels this is a disaster creator?

Ok... (first see my message in the thread just below this)
Ok... now I understand why they are bringing a new version each 3 months... if nobody uses something, it will get deleted by this piranha tool.

I'd be happy to apply some Piranha solution to every one of their drivers I've ever had to share the road with, I think. I've never spoken to one.

We released a preview version of Visual Studio 16.6 – Visual Studio 2019 version 16.6 Preview 1 and with it a new version of .NET Core Windows Forms designer. Soon you'll be able to code like you did in 2002

When are they going to understand that bringing a new version each 3 months is not the proper way of doing things?

First we teach it strategy, then we teach it how to win us at war games, now what / how can kill us from the inside... Am I the only one seeing problems coming?
I can't help but remembering the quote: "What is today written as science fiction, might be tomorrow remembered as a reportage" and thinking on films like Terminator, Matrix...
