Install Wireshark protocol analyzer and you won't believe how much Internet traffic your Windows PC generates.

Slightly off topic...

I find Cortana, the Digital Assistant, essentially useless.

No matter what question I ask, or what directive I give, Cortana just scans the key words and sends me to Bing, which is Microsoft's search engine.

I'd rather use Google, since the You Tube help videos for Windows are usually better than the Microsoft videos on Bing.

Great. My most recent “Upgrade” took about 8 hours to install. I have no idea why. Lightning fast Core-i7 processor, SSD C:/ Drive 100 Mbps Internet and 8 hours to update.

Go figure.

Microsoft keeps me on the foreskin of technology.

I’ve been fighting MS for at least 20 years.
Microsoft is really bad.
I tell everyone who cant run programs to buy Apple products.

The Balmer years nearly destroyed Microsoft.

Had Windows 7 on the home PC and all four of us in the family could be logged in and not signed out and there would not be any problems. Now, only one person can be logged in. If that person doesn’t sign out and another person logs in the new person is plagued with out of memory problems.

I was excited about, but have been disappointed in Windows 10.
