PSA- WIN 10

Win 10?

On balance I'm thinking that W-10 can't be worse than 8.1 (which I'm just getting used to); but I'm glad to learn that I have a full year to procrastinate even though I'll be barraged with daily URGENTs ! from HP and MS every time I restart. Your mileage may differ.

The iTit will cost $499 or $599 depending on speaker size. This is considered to be a major breakthrough because women have always complained that men stare at their breasts but do not listen to them.

The prodigal didn't take my advice and decided to upgrade his laptop immediately. He says that everything worked fine for a while - he liked it more that 8 - then after about 15 minutes it simply decided not to recognize that the internet even existed. So he went back to 8 - figured that if he could get on line he'd be able to find something that explained how to fix the problem. Only thing is that the upgrade to 10 and the reversion to 8 had somehow destroyed the security certificates. End result was that every website he tried to go to told him that there was a problem with the security certificate and he couldn't get past that.

End result was the machine went in to the local computer shop and they ended up having to send it back out in order to get it repaired.

So bewarned.

Good news is that Win7-pro will be supported until 2020.

They just use your data for Cortana as your personal assistant. And depending on how you set it up that can be adjusted various ways. Like you can use one email and not another or use no email accounts at all. Google, Android, Apple's Siri all use your data as personal assistants but google/android sells it to anyone who will buy it.; 8/3/15, 5:21 PM

That's great news, as I'm completely happy with Win7 Pro and don't want to change.; 8/3/15, 6:28 PM

Don't be afraid - it did not cause the world to come to an end and in fact, it was the easiest upgrade I ever did.

Two thing I noticed after upgrading to Win10 from Win7 Pro--one, I can't log in to any of my member sites using the Edge browser, and two, I shut down the machine when leaving for work this morning. When I got home this afternoon, the computer was still trying to shut down. It sat there for over eight hours, stuck on shut down in progress. :S; 8/3/15, 7:28 PM

Uncle Rodger, if I had to choose between Windows versions, it's 7 > 10 > 8. Time to retire XP. If you are already on 8, save your sanity and get the heck off it.

Or... *cough cough* get a Mac.... Wait! No! Not the axe!; 8/4/15, 12:42 PM

Sheesh! Earrings, high-pitched voice and (presumably) undescended testes; that sounds like a description of a maricon, but the depressing irony is that "modern" women spread 'em like creamcheese for "men" like this.
