Oh gawd...it's started.

If you delete the correct MS updates, i think the specific Update Numbers are published it won't annoy you anymore. They "patched" a please get Win 10 so everybody does it ASAP because they won't be annoyed anymore.

{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

Hi Griff - I received it ( the notification ) this morning too - what disk imager do you use ?

My son has been using it on his dev system (web development) for sometime, and reckons it is really quite good.

So you have Windows 7 with Windows 8 license (downgraded)... What is really interesting that 10 should be released (OEM) only in late July...

Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Yeah, but was he a Win8 Fanbois? Because some of them would like anything... :laugh:

As far as I've seen it is more like a Win 7 - Linux Desktop merge. With additional Tiles, for those who want them. In short, it looks like Win 7 with a flattened start menu. What most people probably will struggle with is the multiple desktop thing.

Yep, I now have a Windows symbol in my desktop's task bar, combine that with an unhealthy amount of disc access. It looks like it will be upgraded for free (?) I was gonna post has anyone else seen it but this answers my question.

Our government is running XP. The American IRS is running XP. The English goverment is running XP. Now I should move to "Windows 10", because Win7 would not be secure enough? To take the slogan of the Excell-team to another level, I'll be eliminating my dependencies to Windows.

Really? Care to cite a reference? Curious is all.

It would require multiple references; anything specific you'd be interested in?

DON'T PANIC! It won't be an automatic update. You just get the necessary installer downloaded as soon as it goes public. If and when you run it will be entirely up to you!

I assume you're referring to CNN[^]?

Okay, that's interesting reading. And, FWIW, I am not sympathetic with those bozos in the IRS. If a business has a pressing need, it redirects funding from stupid parties, seminars in Hawaii, lavish offices and bonuses and focuses on the crown jewels. For the IRS, that would be information security. But we're talking about the most bloated, corrupt regime in history so....
