I don't need or want a crap load of extraneous services running to continuously fetch data while in background doing nothing. I don't need or want to be always connected to my social media. I don't need a little notifications indicating some BS event that I should go scurry down a distraction rabbit hole and waste 5 minutes. I don't need bloatware slowing down my operating system and not giving me a way to remove it. Simply put, if I want it, I'll go get it. I don't want it baked into the operating system because some ADHD / everyone deserves a medal type person thought it was improving the user experience.
My experience has been that the Windows 7 Update is corrupt. The cache needs to be purged, and the DLLs need to be unregistered and reregistered. Then Windows Update component needs to be updated.
Note: This doesn't go away in Windows 10. They just find new ways to break the update service. And because updates are chain dependent, nothing short of manually clearing and resetting it actually fixes it.
Or it could be the instant gratification / shortcut / must go faster mentality. People don't read EULAs because they are too long. Heck, most don't even read their receipts when they go shopping.
If you make it harder and make force people to actually read the instructions, then they whine and complain that they just want it to work. yadda yadda yadda, but when it breaks heaven forbid they actually read the steps or followed it through.
On top of it,the 80k testers are strongly recommended to test in a VM environment, so they aren't even testing on their actual devices. So no wonder things like "hey we changed how video works cause it works fine in VMs" backfires.
If the rumors were true, they didn't use windows 9 because some a lot of software was written to do OS version checks as Windows 9*, which would pick up 95 and 97. They wanted to avoid any problems this would have caused.
what really needs to happen is these a-holes and their family need to pay their own damn bills, and not get privileged special treatment from customer service reps. Oh your download speed seems slow, let me look into what's going on. (puts customer on hold for 10 minutes, flips through excuse calendar of the day, gets coffee, finishes Candy Craft level, and posts status update on FB.) Oh we're having sun spots issues and its effecting your neighborhood. (click)
Restrict their work offices to their definition of broadband. Maybe we will see more productivity out of Congress if their staff spend less time rewriting wikipedia articles.
Every time I read a kickstarter risk and challenges it demonstrates that most designers do not have any concept of what risk and challenges are. They assume the happy path to everything, so there is never or understated risk.
Live tiles are different across users, and across computers, so that wouldn't be it. But, Microsoft is placing ads for store apps in the taskbar, if you don't turn it off.
There's a way to turn it off? I'm a little surprised.
I miss my Nokia 6162. Dropped it in the middle of winter. Found it after spring thaw. Got a Motorola v60i that I only replaced cause they turned off the old cell network. They felt so bad for me, they gave me a new phone free (not the free carrier phone).

Isn't that if we had 100% efficiency capturing at 100% flat surface area?
Now get off my damn lawn!

Win 10 performance will suddenly crap out shortly after the massive update. But hey, you should buy a new PC so you can support HoloLens!

Military brass get sensitive about anything alters their mission and fiefdoms. Its all about budgets and who owns how much of the pie.

In Anchorage, a drunk driver can kill a bicyclist because she was 17 and "didn't know better", and it was the bicyclist's fault.
That assumes you wouldn't get blackballed in the industry as a troublemaker, or some other subtle keyword passed back and forth thing.
All things being equal, does a car have a longer stopping distance than a pedestrian?
Not sure the last time I saw a 2000 lb person, much less moving at 25 mph.
thank you all! Was wondering why my almost never used Win machine was going dog slow on startup

That's a bug. They will fix that shortly

In other words, since it is testing for a flaw, because it is based on a flawed requirement, is it reporting a false pass? :)
I usually wear ties on Tuesdays, just to break with the norm of business casual.
If only Apple made a suite, then people would wear them.
