    I love some of their products: Excel is a wonderful spreadsheet, VS is the best IDE going. But ... I just wish they would do three things: Fix bugs instead of adding "features" nobody wants; Test the damn stuff properly before release rather than after; and listen to users when they say things MS doesn't want to hear, perhaps even admitting, "OK, that was a mistake, we'll scrap it and improve what did work" :sigh:

    Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay... AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

      I just signed up for the Windows Insider Program so I can get a pre-release version of the forthcoming 2017 Fall Creator's Update for Windows 10 (Despite the fact that MS warns that the pre-release version may be buggy.) Ah well, I can always re-image my C: drive if it turns out to be a mistake. :)

        Neither, since you have an image on standby. Delete the backup and try again :thumbsup:

            Why do they call it Creator's Update? Is this some marketing jargon to speak to our inner child that wants to play with Legos, Tinker Toys, and Lincoln Logs? Marc

                Either way, I have something you can do for me. I found a micro-SD chip in the parking lot the other day; could you put it in your computer and tell me what's on it? :suss:

                    Some people might see it as "our" version of running with the bulls, so when you see footage of tourists flanked by stampeding bulls on the streets of Pamplona, what goes through your mind? :-\
