Microsoft won’t support old Windows versions on new processors
You’ll have to be choosy about existing processors, too. Microsoft is drafting a list of Skylake-based processors that it’ll support with Windows 7 and 8.1, but that program will only last until July 17th, 2017. After that, the corporate crowd will have to upgrade to Windows 10 to get any help.

And the whole-year figures are pretty sobering — IDC believes shipments fell 10.4 percent in 2015, while Gartner has them down 8 percent. Why the plummeting numbers? The analyst groups peg it on a combination...
At over five feet wide, this drone is not for noobs
It’s not just the size that’s been jacked up. The video link will transmit full HD from over six miles away, which is about the same distance as its total flight range.
