And they'll be glad to charge you a fee for "support" when they destroy your computer by pushing updates to it.

I believe the Magic 8-ball is being ported to the iWatch...
And you know that's gonna happen more than anyone expects.
They've convinced themselves it'll "just work" but I think they underestimate the deeply scrambled nature of their user base's machines.
I've got the Magic 8-Ball (official version) on my iPhone. I love it -- pull it out in meetings. Seriously, WTF not?
“it’s gonna depend on whether I can turn that stream on and off at MY will”
Only business versions of W10 will be able to control updating, and right now it’s not entirely clear how fine that granularity will be.
Consumer versions will have NO CONTROL WHATSOEVER when and what Microsoft pushes onto those systems. Gonna be fun when some update permanently bluescreens 25% of W10 home systems one Sunday afternoon, hey?
Yet ANOTHER very good reason to stick with W7 until Microsoft is finally forced to give up on the consumer/mobile market and refocus themselves on making an industrial operating system for PCs.
Yes, it will be popcorn time
Hilarious! Let the home users beta-test the endless, unscheduled patches, THEN deliver them to businesses. Great plan! Think it’s time to go Linux or Apple.
Looking like Windows 7 for the foreseeable future of Dayglored's Upstate NY Man Cave.
Those crazy f***ers have lost their minds.
Unless I blacklist Microsoft's IP address on my router.
Don't make me go to the nuclear option Microsoft.
Computer control of RF radios, too.............
CSD=CAD, Too much wine and not enough light..............
Who is that faggot?
Comedian, television host, actor, author. Does satire on TV. Beyond that I'm not real familiar with his stuff, not having a TV myself.
Glad you corrected that, you had me going for a minute... yeah, CAD and RF, good combination for having a good time.
Most of my design work was sub-gigahertz frequencies, always had a high respect for the guys who could work in the higher RF bands. Always wanted to learn enough about antenna design to do it, but never got around to it; too busy farting around with the stuff that's not supposed to radiate. And waveguide is one of those things I've only had dreams about.
Enjoy your evening, I'm signing off...
You'll likely encounter problems doing that. They have many wide ranges of IPs, and a lot of them are in the Akamai distribution system, so if you block those IPs you're also blocking things you might want from other sources.
Also, I'll bet a steak dinner that they make it so that you HAVE to allow them to connect, to get certain critical functions to work in your system or device, and when they have you, they download the updates.
It is easier that way because the size is so small.
I'm not sure I would try it on 3.7 MHz.
Big stuff.

I don't have to slow down much.
And when commercial power is back on, I'm operating on it.
I'm not completely off grid here, just for emergency power.

Meanwhile, those on capped telephone/home Internet plans will see their bills shoot up.
It’s not just dial-up users on cel phones (using 3G/4G LTE); a lot of home Internet plans also have monthly caps too.
I’m pretty sure it will have the same options as today. Out in, auto install, our manual install.
