Something Microsoft has been wanting to do for years, was to kill off 32-Bit Support in favor of 64-Bit Computing in their OS. Of course legacy users weren't having it considering most enterprises use older Windows platforms for at most 8 years. now Major Distros such as Ubuntu, Fedora (Red Hat), OpenSUSE (though they've never really offered 32-Bit Option anyways) are killing off 32-Bit Support for Good. All these Distros will now only be offered in 64-Bit Options. Which is ironic considering the history of Linux, most people used them on old hardware to revive them after Microsoft has killed off these devices with Hardware requirements..
Microsoft has been better at doing Apple than Apple has of recent memory. whether it was angering people for forcing things down people's throats, and trying to turn Windows into a much more closed Ecosystem. Microsoft has been selling much more superior devices than Apple in this point in time. most of them compete with their product line. however Microsoft DOESN'T have a Mac Pro Competitor and a iMac Competitor.. well NO MORE.. there is a strong rumor speculating that Microsoft is allegedly coming with something to compete.
Apparently Nvidia fucked up. for some strange reason the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 does not want to work with the HTC Vive via DisplayPORT.. this has been an issue for about a month now with no remedy and there is also no word of a driver fix. there is a massive thread on reddit, the GeFORCE forums and so on with hundreds of people complaining to no end.
