IS MICROSOFT USING ITS WINDOWS 10 AND ALL ITS FEATURES AS A BAIT TO DRAW MORE USERS INTO ITS WINDOWS ECOSYSTEM?


Microsoft has given out offers only a mad men would reject with its new Operating System "Windows 10". Microsoft has always been known as a money making company and now it seems to be changing direction with Windows 10 OS.
Because of the popular saying which says "Nothing goes for nothing", smart people are beginning to ask what Microsoft wants this time. While all this is going on, people are already familiarizing themselves with Linux OS in preparation to move from Windows to Linux should Microsoft "elf up".
Not long ago, there was a misunderstanding about the keyword or phrase Microsoft used while announcing Windows 10. What keyword was that?, you have guessed it, it's Windows-As-A-Service. From the way it was used, to majority of educated people who studied the English language very well, this would at first mean you have to subscribe to Windows just as you would subscribe to a TV service, electricity, etc. and once your subscription is out, you automatically get cut off. But a little light was put to that by those who understood what Microsoft meant which actually means upgrade and maintenance of the OS at no extra cost once you have it running.
Microsoft's goal might be to pull more users into its ecosystem, but just as this "commenter" said in one of the articles I read, Microsoft might end up losing more users than they already lost.
Now the question..., what does Microsoft want in return for all these goodies?

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

Developing a C++ Program on Kali Linux Without Installing Additional Software This article is for hackers who want to develop a C++ program on Kali Linux without installing any additional software. Some might say you need to install a separate compiler or extra tools to write and run a simple C++ program on Kali Linux. However, I’ll show you how to do it right out of the box. Pre-installed C++ Compiler in Kali Linux Kali Linux comes with a pre-installed C++ compiler called g++ . We will use this to write and compile a basic "Hello, World!" program. Step 1: Check if g++ is Installed Open your terminal and run the following command: g++ -v If the compiler is installed, you should see version details. If not, you will get an error message. Step 2: Create a C++ File In your terminal, type: nano MyCpp.cpp This will create a C++ file and open it in the Nano editor. Step 3: Write the C++ Code Once Nano opens, enter the following C++ code: #include <...

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE TEXT TO SPEECH(TTS) WINDOWS PROGRAM USING C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

This post is a beginner's guide on how to get started with speech programming in visual studio using c# (c_sharp) programming language. For those who don't know what a programming language is, in a nut shell, a programming language is simply a command based computer language used for instructing a computer to do a particular job. When I say job, I mean very complex job. Write the above definition in an exam and stand a chance of losing marks. The definition isn't all there is about what programming language is, so I suggest you make a good search to learn what programming language really is. Though, this article is for beginners but I will say "BEGINNERS ARE CLASSIFIED", am a beginner. If you are a beginner who hasn't tasted code in his or her life before, I suggest you go start something. A good learning source is "tutorial point", they taught me a lot. Now for you who have tasted code, you will need the following: Computer System running wind...

HOW TO APPLY FALLING TEXT EFFECT IN A CONSOLE PROGRAM WITH THREADING IN C#

"A thread is defined as the execution part of a program. Each thread defines a unique flow of control. If your application involves complicated and time consuming operations then it is often helpful to set different execution paths or threads, with each thread performing a particular job.", says the smart guys behind Tutorials Point.Well, our program is not going to be complicated and we are not going to be performing any time consuming task, we are rather going be creating a camouflage application that gives us the effect similar to what you get when you ping a site or an IP address with the "-t" option in cmd or the effect you see in movies like Blacklist, 24, Person Of Interest and the likes.Now let's stop the ranting and get started.We are going be building this application upon our existing code, one we started in the previous article "How to grammatically Change the background and foreground color of a console Application".Now open up the code in...
