since U seems to be use to ask quastions, instead of use google, I take it U use cortana a lot....

Just what any regular/average user would/will try, out of the box, I suppose....

Was it the topic (...worst-crap-ever) that give it away?

"Why Windows 10 S is like giving babies cigarettes" http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/opinion/3009514/why-windows-10-s-is-like-giving-babies-cigarettes Chris Merriman: "I want to write a really positive article about Microsoft. I get tired of listening to myself complain about every crappy thing they do. But they just keep doing more crappy things. And it has to stop."

to the price at $999???

All of this made me stressed and depressed and to get some rest of my mind I put Mint 18 on my old laptop. Now-days I feel came and good....

Perhaps a win10s computer then, lol...

Great stuff!

Told U so; windows 10 is for internet use only... (win10s, ofc it run for 14,5 hours)

Win 10 is just an OS to run apps to access the internet. Thats all!

"...just aren't available locally because everything's gotten so dumbed-down that brick and mortar "tech" stores only carry the most basic consumer goods..." We have the same system over here, it seems. No one keeps anything in store; really frustrating...

"..shipping tracking says it'll be here today..." on a Saturday? thats cool!

I have a windows phone, a 535, bout just for test in 2015. The last update I received, in windows insider, was late dec 2015. Nothing since dec 2015 until the other day, a Update! But it is not a complete update, it seems. I got a new startpicture, I can get to the dropdown list at top (and some of there controls works, keened of, BUT no apps, no settings, no nothing and at the beginning it restarted over and over again. That has stopped after day or two . Basicly it is bricked! Grate Work MS

"....or is that badge from some alternative donations...." Perhaps U thinking of the text if U donate some money to MSFN it self

Totally worthless IMHO! Just a very pale imitation of OSMAC programs. How about Do something of Your own, MS...

Edit: Sorry, I missed the part about areoglass, since this thred is't about AG....

Ok Innuendo33 I look into that, thanks. I finally got to hide the file in question in time and my 10240 seems came...

I too have 10240 enterprise version of windows and I got my computer forced update to 14393 twice last week. I reinstalled my old os but before I got a chance to hide "the prepering file for 1607" it did start one more upgrade and I find my self, next morning, looking at the happy sign; "we updated your computer". Really, really frustrating!

I tried to do a fresh install of 15063 on an older stationery and experienced cortana guides"all" the way. Sadly my old rig did have a Marvell ethernet card so no internet. I do have win7 in the machine as well, but there are no problems, internet is flouting in big way... no difference with .11 .14 did not change anything reg marvell ethernet problem, BUT I note this Mac address was not find so I just filled in the address found in win 7 info and voala; back in businesses. I think win troubleshooter would had spotted that one...

Updated from 15063.0 to 15063.11 and that killed my sata disk... No indicate of any problems wse until the reboot after the download. Coinseedence??

Ok another try:

Here U go:

onMSFT.com today: "...Microsoft is not the only one big tech company to be affected by online outages, but this was actually the second time in a month that its services went down for an hour or more. These kind of events always make headlines, but the company usually has a pretty good track record at explaining what went wrong. We’ll keep you informed if Microsoft shares an official explanation for the sign in issues..." "..Earlier this week, Microsoft online services were hit by another global service outage which affected many consumer offerings such as Outlook.com, OneDrive, Skype and Xbox Live..."

Today at onMSFT: a poll on "has Microsoft gone to far in “invading your privacy?” " https://www.onmsft.com/news/poll-is-microsoft-invading-your-privacy-with-windows-10

Well quicker then my hp then. I notis that the update went back severel times to get the specific file, like it did not get all the first time. I have fiber access to my router and at the time I got like 50gbit so it's not any problems with download, I say....
