thSeveral folks have asked about the comments being disabled or why I don’t have forums.
The simple reason is they take up a lot of time (and in truth is more than I can handle). Folks on the internet seem to lose all sense of decorum and decency behind the veil of the anonymity of the internet. Fanbois, trolls, spammers, and personal attacks tend to be the rule, not the exception. I’ve just lost my taste for that garbage. It’s one of the many reasons I left social media. In an attempt to keep trolls and spammers away I tried to use the Disqus comment system but it wasn’t what I was looking for. I really wanted something where people had to truly be responsible for what they say. Possibly something where the user had to provide, at some level, their real identity. I realize that may seem naive and unrealistic but there it is.
I’ve got some great folks that come by here regularly and I would love to provide y’all something. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Get Windows 10 – More Info

By

thpinpostlogoThis morning I had a new Windows Logo icon in the Notification Area. It was the GWX update at work.
See below for full pics.
Additionally, Microsoft has posted a Win10 FAQ:
“Microsoft is making Windows 10 available as free upgrade for qualified Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows Phone 8.1 devices. It will be available starting July 29, 2015; people can reserve their free upgrade today.
You only have until July 29, 2016 to take advantage of this offer. Once you upgrade, you have Windows 10 for free on that device.”

FYI on a Win10 Tweak Guide
Yes, there will be a guide.
Release date unknown. Certainly not before mid-August and quite probably early September. This is a big release and I will be taking my time with it.
Given the current condition/quality of Win10 I’m not even sure I’ll be recommending the upgrade before years end. I don’t consider Win10 in beta stage yet.
They have a LOT of work to do.
