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 —>>>

Bruce Dickinson’s Perfect Answers

September 4, 2015, 12:41(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

I tried social media. There are a number of reasons why I left it but it’s kinda hard to explain well.
Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson was interviewed and gave what IMHO are the perfect answers (about 2/3 of the way down).
