The Windows 10 Creators Update Is Now Available (bleepingcomputer.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from BleepingComputer: Microsoft will officially release Windows 10 Creators Update on April 11, the same day it will retire Windows Vista, but users unwilling to wait that long can install it starting today, April 5, using the Windows 10 Update Assistant. The tool installs Build 15063 of the Windows 10 Insiders Build program, which is set to become the official Windows 10 Creators Update next week. The Windows 10 Update Assistant, which Microsoft first launched to help users update to Windows 10, has been recently used to upgrade users to the most recent version of Windows 10. The tool is available for download via the Microsoft site, albeit some users reported still getting an older version for download, which doesn't install the Creators Update. The Update Assistant is extremely easy to use and only requires users to click a few buttons.

    Linux may be free as an OS, but it is not really free to run in an enterprise. Like it or not, there are many programs that are used in an enterprise that are Windows-centric. Some programs, like Adobe run on MacOS, but not that well, some will ruin in a VM, some will run in Wine, but in every case there is the time required to learn the *nix OS and to set the programs up, and you still pay fees for running those programs. If all you are doing is a little browsing, a little document editing, and a little development with Eclipse (or the like), Then Linux may be free. Move outside of that, and Linux is no longer free. There is a reason I use Virtual machines and multiple operating systems.
