About The GWX Auto Downloads
I’m not sure why all the fuss this week. We Geeks have warned you about this from the inception. Forum members at places like MDL have been shouting about this daily for many months. I first warned about GWX in April. I have a post on blocking this 3 weeks ago. Yes, this is a massively shitty thing for Microsoft to do, yes I think someone should be fired over this, yes I think it calls for lawsuites, but like I said, we Geeks warned you. This isn’t new news and you should be careful about trusting sites/people that act like it is.

Site Polls
The results of the “What Windows OS is your main OS?” poll kinda shocked me. I didn’t think so many of you would jump to Win10 so fast. I’m also a bit disheartened that so many people are still using XP.
I put a new poll up. Let me know what you think of Win10 —>>>

My Printer Setup

September 8, 2015, 16:19(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

printer_1I still do freelance computer setups for individuals and small businesses on occasion. With that comes questions about printers and recommendations for printers.
I recommend networked HP printers. That means it has Ethernet and/or wifi.
Why HP? IMHO easy setup, good drivers, full Linux support. My printer is over 8 years old and they have Windows 10 drivers for it.

Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson was interviewed and gave what IMHO are the perfect answers (about 2/3 of the way down).

Report: Windows 10 Threshold 2 Pushed Back To November

September 3, 2015, 11:13(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

win10_logo

win10_logoWinbeta is reporting that Win10 TH2 will be released in November and not October as expected.
This is good news / bad news.
It is good news because TH2 is incredibly buggy which I attribute to the new Memory Compression feature. This is simply IMHO. This will give MS time to sort things out.
It is bad news because as I stated before, I will not release thw Win10 tweak guide until TH2. I just don’t want to continually rewrite the guide. Win10 is a perpetually ungraded OS and TH2 is being followed by Redstone in 2016.
