There has to be a business reason for MS to give a free upgrade.
I believe it is because they want to force everyone to buy OS and software on a subscription basis.
Its like the wireless companies selling blocks of minutes/data you don't need.
The cloud has no appeal for me, it is my desire to control my information, not put it on a server in a galaxy far away.

My LG G3 phone has failed again, but there is something called a contract that prevents me from changing.
It appears the G3 has a known problem, it flickers and then the screen goes dark.
When it failed I did a screen capture and to my surprise the capture was not a dark screen, but a working screen.
This is the 3rd time it has failed.
The third time it has been returned for repair.
However, I do have 5 Androids crunching.

I have 3 desktops and a laptop crunching, but have cut back to daytime only.
My power bills are around $500 a month.
If they release a GPU project I may go back to 24/365 crunching on two desktops with GPUs.

I looked at the team results; we have 40% participation.
Nothing wrong with that, but it appears as though we have 10 members active, which we don't.
Team points are nearing 1 Billion, which is quite good.
I never communicated with the founder of the group "hsuk", but believe they would be amazed at today's numbers.

Crunching on ......

nasher, you have a lot of badges.

I have sinned.

In a moment of weakness, i installed Windows 10 on my old Gateway Pentium machine. It went well.

But so help me, I don't know what happened, but then there was this Lenovo laptop sitting there, and....well, you guessed it.

[SOB]

And then i upgraded 2 more pc's to Windows 10.

Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi. I can't stop.

I'm so ashamed.

im not upgrading to W-10 till i replace the computer.. i also am running MS Office 2010 but since im retired i dont think i need to give Microsoft more money

Don't get too close to the screen when you read this. I picked up something Tuesday, very contagious, sore throat, coughing, runny nose. etc...

I upgraded because it is a free upgrade for one year only.

I can't see paying for something I don't need.

MS Office I do use; and like cable TV why pay subscriptions?

Office 365 Home is $99.99 a year.

It can be loaded on 5 PCs and 5 Androids.

It works out to $9.99 a device per year

I know that they will discontinue support for Office 2007.

So I bit a bullet and upgraded.

Not impressed with this rearrangement.

Outlook complains that it can't verify the AT&T mail server. Probably has some redirection server(s) not listed on the certificate.

And, W10 removes the Recovery Partition.

Instead you can create a recovery USB thumb drive.

Office Depot had San Disk 16GB drives on sale, a pack of 3 for under $18.

I don't want apps on my desktop PC so I set it up as close to W7 as I can get it.

The themes in Office 365 are limited, and not one is near what I want.

Going to have to build my own themes or get over my dissatisfaction.

Who runs this complaint department forum? They never address my complaints.
