Just did my upgrade.. so far every thing is 99.9%.. Ventrilo had a minor issue with the optional hardware input mixer. I turned it off and no problems. All sounds in everything I use are great.


I was prepared for something bad so I had nothing planned but this for tonight. I kicked the upgrade off before I went to work this morning. Spent about an hour checking everything just to be safe. so far no problems.

One problem I just had with my laptop is that when iTunes ran, it had changed all the paths to my music library to some strange "localhost/e:..." path so the entire library was unlinked, so I lost all my playlists, song ratings, etc.  I think MS did it on purpose because just to get something playing I clicked directly on a music file and of course that took me to the MS player which of course defaulted to a screen that offered easy setup for their music services and stores.

I'm sure I could have come up with a utility to find/replace all the bad file paths with the correct path since Microsoft didn't change the default location of the music library, but I was in a hurry. One thing I did find out that is totally stupid is that apple has removed the option to add an entire folder to the music library.  You get to add files one at a time, or put them in your library and then click a fairly scary "SCAN FOR MEDIA" button, which may or may not search outside the folder set as the location for the media library.

So, complete fails for both apple iTunes and the windows 10 upgrade in this regard.  ITunes lost some critical functionality and for some bizzare reason changed the music file location for my music library to a drive that doesn't even exist, and something in the windows 10 upgrade process triggered this idiotic behavior of iTunes.  And of course Apple had to remove the ability to add random individual but complete folders to the library, forcing instead you to place any music inside a specific media library and then making you push a button to re-search and re-index the whole damn library just to add one new album.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

So far I am liking Windows 10.. It's a lot better than Windows 8. I think.

There you go thinking again...  :cheers:

Better on a touch screen... IMO.

All update options are present in win 10, in settings rather than control panel

Windows vista works well with the new graphics, i haven't been in any large furballs so I can't say for sure, even the old game worked moderately with vista

Some weeks ago I got an e-mail from Microsoft, suggesting I should read their Services Agreement. It was about Skype which they recently bought. The mail told, that it would be an easy-read thing which it looks like at first glance. Expanded it would take 28 pages if printed... Plus on the first line they suggested to read a couple of similar statements, namely the mentioned Privacy Statement (32 pages), the Health Privacy Statement (8 pages) and the Health Vault privacy policy page including 46 links to changes made after October 2007. I caught a glimpse and folded me a tin foil stetson hat.

That'd be a step up for me; I can't get ANY screen saver to run consistently. I think mine's kicked in once or twice.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Why do people even use screen savers anymore?

Just downloaded Windows 10 and now I've got serious FPS issues I never had before. Still trying to work through that issue.
