Not me. I wound up finding the application shortcut in windows and pasted a shortcut to the desktop and to the taskbar.

“Windows 10 starts the long count-up to 1,000,000,000” > That’s only 72 days at that rate. My guess is it will take a while longer to reach that number.
Yes indeed.
Remember how the Apple Watch sold like crazy the first week and then dropped off to more reasonable sustained numbers, and the pundits all wrote inane headlines about how sales of the watch had plummeted?
I expect something of the same with Windows 10. It'll drop back to a reasonable sustained rate of uptake, and if they're lucky it'll be the 2.8 million per day rate required to reach a billion in a year.
But the pundits will all write that the Win10 uptake has plummeted. Bunch of tech whores, they are - anything for a headline that gets page hits. *sigh*

Unless you plan on upgrading RAM to >4gig and/or you have programs you plan to install that requires 64-bit (they mostly will run on 32-bit but you need to check) then you can probably get away with 32-bit.

Thanks for the tip!
So far zero issues with Windows 10.
