    From an email from my aunt: This morning, when I turned on the computer it did over an hour's worth of updates - things looks different and I am trying to figure out how to hide this annoying Ask Me Anything Cortana thing at the left bottom screen. Right now, the Olympic medal count just popped up at the left as well. I'll have to ask Mr. Cortana how to make that (and him) go away. Wow, Microsoft is pushing medal counts onto the desktop? How pathetic. Marc

        Clippy was at least cute, for a few minutes. Marc

          Olympic medals?  Only until the British royals do something mundane and that gets featured on the front page of all UK newspapers.

            What's the problem? Some moron at ms is into the olympics, so you have to be into the olympics. How dare you not be! Just like some moron at ms is into baby blocks, and another into ribbons, another into a cr@ppy VocReg (that really is cr@p, compared to apple's), etc. You don't own your property, any more. They've decided that their OS is "a service", which to them means that any machine it's run on belongs to them, as far as they're concerned. Why anyone who knows anything about computers updated to winio, I simply do not understand.
