[dba-Tech] Analysis: People Who Use Firefox Or Chrome Make Better Employees

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Jim

My understanding is, that Spartan is Windows 10 only, though including all platforms this will run on.

The free upgrade seems to be a "Chinese duck". MS has published that it is valid only for the Home versions of Windows 7+. Ultimate and Enterprise (= enterprises) must have software assurance - or pay otherwise.

Hi Gustav:

I am looking forward to the new Spartan browser as well. Hope it will run on more than one platform and will be capable of JS real-time compiling...have you heard anything?

It seems that Microsoft is even going to give a free update to all users of Win7 and 8 regardless whether they are pirated copies or not.

If they gave free updates to those with XP, they could update fifty percent of the world's Microsoft's platform users. ;-)

PS: As for whether "People Who Use Firefox Or Chrome Make Better Employees"; I have also discovered, after checking the mirror this morning, that these people are probably also better looking as well. ;-)
