My 1995 Macintosh Performa 638CD did that.

I had a ATI All-In-Wonder tuner app 15 years ago that did that. Way to innovate, MS!

Most likely, Windows 10 will watch you as you are watching TV on your PC. Sadly, although we won the Cold War, Big Brother still gathers strength.

If you are running Windows 10, I hope you take the time to either prevent the upgrades or be ready to run disk cleanup.

Microsoft’s decision to force everyone into the upgrade pool for the latest builds of Windows 10 is a real annoyance and a brain dead decision. For those running SSD’s, those old windows system files chew up space. Upgrades suck and there is always the possibility of an issue. I do clean installs only, even on my Mac. It’s really easy to forget to uncheck that setting when you are on your third clean install.

If you run Windows 10, do yourself a favor and make a backup image using the built in tools.

It’s like Microsoft doesn’t know a damn thing about their customer base. Windows 8 was such a boondoggle you would think they would learn. User’s HATE change and im convinced Microsoft is trolling their customers. Windows 10 includes it every build.

“Did you just learn where everything was in our stupid settings menu? Oh we moved things around again. We could include all those settings in Control Panel but why have one menu when you can have two? As an added bonus we’ve gone ahead and set your network profile to public. Thank you for using Microsoft and dont forget to use Bing before you throw your computer in a Lake.”

We had TV cards installed in the Wang monitors that we used in our offices back in the 1990's. The only thing they were ever used for was watching cricket matches while folks were meant to be working.

But I'm sure advertisers will love this Win10 feature.
