[DeTomaso] NPC: Microsoft is sneaking the Windows 10 update onto PCs

Fri May 20 14:10:19 EDT 2016

Sorry Terry, MacOS is definitely not Linux. 😜

Based on BSD/Mach AFAIK, so closer to Solaris than Linux, which I know you like, or at least used to like 😬

I still enjoy seeing clips from various Mission Controls and seeing Sun branded monitors and keyboards. 

Cheers,
Thomas
