This likely marks the beginning of WAAS -- "Windows As A Service" -- that we've heard about. And for home and small business customers, it represents the beginning of the endless stream of required mandatory updates...

First major update to Windows 10 ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Or not.

Remember, they're ALL going to be called just "Windows 10". No more version number changes.

Everything is just "Windows 10".

Forever.

(I keep hearing "Mine is the last voice you will ever hear..." echoing in my head, but it's probably just some Chinese takeout I ate earlier tonight...)

Unless and until they return the full classic theme as an option to make Win10 usable, I have NO interest in Win10 or its upgrades.

I had to take 8.1 on my new i7, so I installed Classic Shell and pretend its a Win 7 box. Works for me, don’t care about what I may be missing just like I never have missed Metro.

Question... Will all my files be on a Microsoft cloud somewhere? Don’t want them snatching my damned personal files. No way. All I know is that Windows10 changed my computer’s logon password without asking me.

After installing Win10, I couldn’t get into my own damned computer. Thought I was screwed for sure. Turns out, Microsoft has my new password on their server and I can always recover it. Thoughtful of them, don’t you think? But the question remains: What other confidential data of yours will they swipe when you install Windows10 and who’s going to control it?
