even more spying
I expect that with the evolution of malware, more sandboxing will be needed to combat ransom ware. hypervisor attacks and vulnerabilities that can break out of the sandbox will be the new big deal zero days.

It will have features to automatically identify child pornography and terrorist materials so that the authorities can be alerted.
There will be support for kernel-level security management to ensure that binaries have not been altered and no unwanted is allowed to run. Additionally, there will be mechanisms in place to prevent the removal of critical services such as System32 and WildTangent Games.

Linux, never again.
I tried screencasting/recording the graphical session on Linux today. Capturing from the sound card was virtually impossible, but it was managed (with a lot of pops and cracks for no apparent reason). What was completely impossible was recording without one window bleeding through to the windows behind it intermittently.
The problem with Linux is the so called reason to use it, diversity of software. You have millions of permutations of different set ups (DE, WM, X/Wayland, Alsa/Pulse, init.d vs systemd, ...), with new ones being "made" (read: forked) every day, and with the flavor of the month changing more often than Stallman showers. When you install a program on Linux, you have no idea if it's going to work. It was only ever guaranteed to work on the specific setup of the neckbeard who wrote and abandoned it five years ago.
The only thing keeping me from wiping this Linux shit is that I've been indoctrinated to be used to it. Windows is my other go-to but ends up tedious and inconvenient (but not impossible) to use when you're running programs that were traditionally run on UNIX-likes. I would use OS X but I don't want to get AIDS.

Ironically, this is pretty much my experience of running Windows programs on Windows. I ended up installing Linux because several of my Windows programs run perfectly under Wine, but not on modern versions of Windows.

On Windows 10 for any program you can go to Properties -> Compatibility and run the program under compatibility mode for previous Windows versions back to Windows 95. Perhaps WINE has better support for Windows 3.x programs, but that would be its only theoretical advantage here.

>>23 I read an article recently that said (if I understood correctly) that compatibility mode mainly changes what Windows version number is returned if the program checks.

>>31 But Windows 10 stands out as the ultimate piece of unusable shit that serves as a sure-fire marker of a newfag who doesn't know how computers work.
>>31 Indeed, this is not /g/. Unlike /g/ we are the official Sussman and Abelson worshipping club and as you probably know both Sussman and Abelson are two of the founding directors still active on the board of directors of the Free Software Foundation. Moreover THE ABELSON is a founding director of Creative Commons. Using systems that do not confirm with the FSF definition of ``free software'' is a disgrace to their name.
