Seems a good idea for Microsoft to have a product that provides strong assurance that you won’t get dangerous software into your system.

The fact that some users don’t want its restrictions doesn’t make 10S a bad idea. There’s the the pro version after all.

The best idea of all would be a computer + operating system that defended itself against dangerous software. What does Apple do about the hostile-software problem?

Getting back to Microsoft, how about an operating system that will not run old software (which is impossible to make invasion-proof). Actually, it’s the hooks into the operating system required to support the old software that allows for invasion. Am I correct here?

I love Notepad also. I have it up now holding a copy of some source code (it’s my “split screen”).
