I like the idea of helping people out of poverty. But the problem with government funded charities is they are so ripe for fraud, they almost never get managed properly.

This is heartbreaking in a way to see what's become of it. Windows was my childhood playground. I can't not feel some kind of attachment and a desire to save it.

No. That’s why he called it “a new kind of coding”.
"New" doesn't mean it was invented that morning. Things that are a few years old can still be considered "new".

This is kind of beautiful. Great work! I mean it.
Sorry you’re getting downvoted. Ideally downvoting would be for unconstructive posts, or posts with good info / good contributions that are presented unconstructively.
You’re just being controversial.
That’s not a strong enough reason to downvote someone.
Thanks for pointing this out. I don't participate in HN discussions like I used to because the HN crowd and I don't agree on much, and down-votes is not an engaging counter-point.
Nadella more than 10x'ed the value of Microsoft. I doubt many MS execs think it was the wrong call to move Windows work to the B team.
EDIT: somehow people seem to think I'm defending MS here. I'm not, I'm concurring that MS willingly turned Windows to shit (by moving it to the B team) because they thought they could earn more money elsewhere (and they were right). I don't like it, but I bet the people who got filthy rich over it do.
That mindset is why every tech product is turning to shit. They're not consumer focused. All Nadella cares about is making the stock price go up and extracting value.

Archive.org link in the first has a torrent link.
Thank you
Windows 7 was the last really good Windows. MS lost sight of the goal after that.
Nadella lost sight of the goal. Windows 7 was Ballmer.
I have 24h left on the download. Is anyone who has the file willing to create a torrent to share? I can't click on the twitter link for some reason.
