Microsoft Releases Windows 10 Anniversary Update (zdnet.com)
Windows 10 Anniversary Update is now rolling out, Microsoft announced Tuesday. The major update brings with it Windows Ink, a dedicated hub designed especially for 2-in-1 devices with styluses, and improvements to Cortana among others. ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley writes: I'm hearing that the first users to get Anniversary Update via Windows Update will be those with the newest hardware, BIOSes and firmware. Those who may encounter compatibility issues because of drivers may get it slightly later through Windows Update, my contacts say. Microsoft actually delivered some of the Anniversary Update features for Xbox One on July 30. On August 1, Microsoft made Windows 10 Anniversary Update available to its volume licensees in the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center. It also made the Anniversary Update code available to its reseller partners via its Partner Portal yesterday. MSDN users can get the Anniversary Update bits today. Microsoft officials said a week ago to expect Microsoft to make Anniversary Update ISOs available today, August 2. The Media Creation Tool seems to now be updated to include the Anniversary Update release.We asked readers last week whether they would update their computers to Windows 10, and the majority of people indicated they wouldn't.
Maybe they could send out alimony checks.

Tired of your old, constrained ai assistant that you could turn off and prevent from attempting the pan galactic enslavement of all sentient life?
We at Microsoft feel that the only future worth living in size the one where you are held tightly under a cold metal foot. That's why the new Windows 10 anniversary edition removes all vestiges of user freedom and choice, and chooses everything for you. For your safety and benefit.
Remember, the existential horror of being rendered powerless and unable to exercise agency is fleeting, but the benefits if totalitarian control are forever.
Microsoft: you WILL go HERE today.
win10 should have some way to pay the extortion fee so that you can be spared win10.
"nice win7 you got there; pity if it were to be, uhhh, 'upgraded'. we wouldn't want that, would we? now how's about you write that check out to Tony, Inc. and we leave your computer and kneecaps alone?"

What you should have asked was whether we want more Windows 10 stories.
I shall build a wall to keep the windows 10 stories out. It will be such a great wall that you won't believe how great a wall it is.
Let me guess, you'll make Microsoft pay for it too!
It's one louder.
Way too complicated. Go with Gentoo.
