yeah, sounds like something messed up. I must've been lucky in my upgrades as the only issue I've really had thus far is sometimes the search doesn't respond and I have to kill the process to make it come back to normal.

My biggest problem with Windows 10: Instability
Windows 10's strength -- its comprehensiveness -- is also its biggest weakness. Too many moving parts are making for an unstable computing experience for me. Bring on Redstone!

Microsoft appears to be forcing people to upgrade to Windows 10.

Went to check for Windows updates on my Win 7 machine today. Among the optional updates was the Windows 10 update and it was checked. If I did not uncheck it I would be running Windows 10 against my will.

Ended up not going for it.

I've gotten so used to it now, I can't imagine that I'd ever go back. It's pretty good, save for looking for things in new places and all that...
