I’ve had a few emails this week the gist of which is that I owe it to readers to:
1 – Put out a Win10 tweak guide quickly.
2 – Have comments enabled.

1 – I have a new poll up in the right sidebar. Please vote! – – – – – > > > > >
2 – I increased this sites page width from 1200px to 1300px.
I also moved the search box to the header.
Please contact me if you have any issues.
3 – I’m considering not publishing the Win10 tweak guide until Threshold 2 is released (ETA October). The reason for this is so I don’t have to rewrite the guide so soon. Previous versions of the guide had a lifetime of the OS free upgrades. Since Win10 is “the last version of Windows” this obviously will not be the case. I haven’t worked out if free upgrades will be by the year or maybe by versions. Please don’t be too hard on me. Writing the guides has always been a labor of love. ROI has been pennies per hour.
Hello Mike Tech Show!
My article, Avoiding The OpenCandy Installer, was mentioned on a podcast show called Mike Tech Show.
Thanks for the mention!

Windows 10 Privacy Issues
Every sane person worries about privacy issues online. IMHO, Win10 causes legitimate privacy concerns. However, there is the “tinfoil hat brigade” that IMHO takes things way too far. I haven’t wanted to jump the gun on addressing these issues. This sites first rule of tweaking has always been “Primum non nocere” (first, do no harm).

Windows 10 Dark Theme
This info isn’t new, I didn’t discover it, and it’s all over the web.
It’s been out for months, I don’t know who found it first or I would give them credit.
I’m using it, but it isn’t for everyone. I’ve posted pics below. Notice the title bar is hard to read.

Skylake, Meh?
The NDA on Intel’s new Skylake processors has been lifted and the reviews are pouring out.
The gist I’m getting:
– If you are on Sandy Bridge then upgrade.
– If you are on Ivy Bridge, Haswell, or Broadwell then it probably isn’t worth it.
