Oh man, Couputerworld – Microsoft sets stage for massive Windows 10 upgrade strategy
I’ve covered the GWX issue a lot here at TweakHound. For the life of me I cannot understand why currently approx 20% of folks in the current poll here say they trust Microsoft.

Last week I switched the site font to Open Sans. I wanted to make the site easier to read across platforms and operating systems. I think it looks better too.
Open Sans is a free Google Font. As of this writing there are over 1700 FREE fonts/font variants. Many of them are awesome. Here are some download links if you’re interested.
Google Fonts (main page)
Google Fonts (github) (has download all link)
Download all Google Fonts: https://github.com/google/fonts/archive/master.zip
Open Sans
I downloaded all, extracted, then searched that folder for ttf fonts ( *.ttf ).
Then I copied them to a separate folder and installed the ones I liked.
