I wonder if that counts me. I downloaded 10 to install into a VM. I haven’t paid for the activation key yet. I’m just sorta looking around at it. The only reason I’d ever use it, is to play a game or two, and even that would not be on a regular basis. And at $110.00, it probably won’t be worth it.

I used expert settings option during install. Man, I had to turn off EVERYTHING they were wanting to send back to MS.

Not reeL thrilled with those active tiles.

Win 10 is not bad. They have sped it up and have minimized their updates.

I use it on a new Toshiba laptop with a dedicated/usb yoked printer for spreadsheets and some word processing.

For most of my computing these days, I use my Acer Chromebook 15 with a HP Cloud printer for most of my online stuff.

This morning I couldn’t get some emails and other stuff printed, more on that later. So I went to my Toshiba on my desktop. It is so much slower to get to anything and then to print it.

Later, I did a direct printout of the system status of my HP Cloud printer. Apparently, a neighbor with a new Mac had entered some of his system stuff on my HP Cloud printer via its wifi site. I got rid of his entries and that printer is back working. So, I am back to my Acer Chromebook.

My Toshiba is back to its minimal role and backup role.

Great suggestion, however, 1-2 guillotines are not enough!

I hate 'em with a passion.

They must have nothing but 3-year-olds in their sacred "Focus Groups" evaluating this crap.
