Well, you don't walk with a cane, do you? Then you're freestanding ;)

Any high end microwave oven, washing machine, TV set etc etc.
Your computer's keyboard, your computer's hard disk, your computer's OS
(and very likely your computer's monitor and graphics card).
Practically any computing environment that is not under the control of an
operating system is a freestanding environment.

Neither do I, nor does my name.
Then you're freestanding ;)
But I'm not an environment, and neither is my name.
It could be argued that my name is sometimes freestanding in the sense
that it is the only item in a paragraph of text (like in this posting).
However, that was /not/ the case in my previous posting, where my name
wasn't freestanding, but accompanied the statement that it isn't a
freestanding environment. ;)

Your favourite mistake at work again: microwave ovens and washing machines
need not be freestanding environments, for the simple reason that they
can be (and are) built without any embedded computer.
The first VCRs, too, but they are museum exhibits, by now :-)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ (and very likely your computer's monitor and graphics card).

Any particular point in repeating my own example?

Freestanding environment is a general concept, that has precious little
to do with one programming language or another. Ditto for hosted
environment.
And an executable binary is an executable binary, regardless of the
language(s) it was written in, before being translated to an executable
binary.
Try engaging your brain next time!

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
