: [LINUX_Newbies] VLC in Mint 17

 

No argument from me! I followed the history of Microsoft from way back.  I do not admire the company at all. I won`t miss it. Linux is the future. 
              That`s the way I see it.\

Windows 10 will be like Android in the respect that it will make users dependent on MS, just as Android makes users dependent on Google. Note that Google is being investigated in Russia for antitrust violation by bundling its apps with Android. That is interesting because Apple does the same and does not even allow users to change default apps which Android does do. Now that MS is going down this road it may usher in an age of antitrust investigations. Time will tell.

For Linux users we have used this mode of getting apps for a couple of decades. It does have its benefits in allowing users to download and install centrally from secure repos. No hunting and no worries about security. The Windows model is profit based and this opens users up to being vulnerable to paying through the nose for smaller annual subscriptions. Death by a thousand cuts.
