And other things that tick off Richard Stallman Recently, Richard Stallman, the creator of Emacs, the GNU project, and founder of the free software movement, said that OS X and Windows were malware. Of course, aside from being known as one of the greatest living programmers, Stallman is also known for not being shy about sharing his opinion on things he feels strongly about. While his criticisms may lack the sting (and brevity) of those that Linus Torvalds will regularly launch at things he doesn't like, there's no denying that Stallman's stances are heartfelt, well thought-out, and consistent with his stated philosophies.

The concept of LTSB is that it is used in locked down scenarios where the client wants as little change or disruption as possible.LTSB PCs only receive security patches and urgent hot-fixes but no new features for 10 years.
