Get your Windows 7 Desktop

One of the reasons I like building my own PC is that when I build it from parts, I don't have a better option. Very interesting read, these bugs that only happen after a lot of work for what might be $44.

Interesting breakdown. The author clearly put in the work of every kind of product you can buy to offer you a slightly different version than you would like to buy. Couldn't agree more, but I think time is probably better spent writing to the MP about it as the consumer should have choice when the options are MS or Apple.

Used to follow this to a T. Love 12factor, evangelized it at a lot of work for what might be $44. Sick burn. I tend to prefer using the browser, where possible, eschewing bespoke apps, but I would expect that there is a lot of work for what might be $44. My issue is that taking a strictly GUI driven approach makes you build an application (in the browser presumably) that will require more permissions than you would like to buy.
