I saw something to-day while researching new laptops that could send even more folks over to Linux. Microsoft has launched WINDOWS 10 S which is identical to regular Win 10 except for one very large gotcha: a user can only install software that has been downloaded from the official windows store.
see here for the details:

I can see a lot of people being very disgruntled when they discover that their new laptop / desktop, by design, is not nearly as capable as their old one.
I truly believe once MS has tamed Chromium, they will go for ChromiumOS next and you will get the Windows version of a Chromebook "Windows Lite". They just need to get you into the cloud and subscribed to their software, they don't care how they do it.

Probably due to an integer overflow.

My (Linux Counter) guess at the number of Linux users: 85,780,478 (Jun 2018 ??)
