ok , updates will be chargeable after the first 12 mths , as we all know it can take 9 mths fof m/soft to sort bugs out and released sp1 , so sp2 follows in mth 13 , and we pay to stop there system being hacked?

and where did you gt this misinformation that you're peddling? microsoft themselves state that updates will be free for the lifetime of the device.

Can't understand why so many people want to be first in line. I'll be waiting until at least a few million heroes have gone over the top before I put my pc in harm's way...

It never fails does it in consumer land! - there are always the lemmings desperate to be the first....to get all the problems.

In business to business land the opposite is the case. Virtually impossible to get anyone to accept anything that is "new" lest it might not work properly.

Ive had a pc since windows 98 and updated to everyone in turn never once had any issues. So I dont see why sitting back this time will be any different, its not a case being a lemming. I like to stay upto date with tech' if i have never had any previous bad luck with operating systems why should i be worried now.

Uninstall update KB3035583
(from http://popist.com/s/0f02161/ )

I did this to get rid of the icon. Does it stay "gone" though?

Hope there weren't any other important things included within that update:(

Only just saw the icon, and reserved it.

I read that Windows 10 was going to be free a few months ago, and was really eager to upgrade two Vista tower machines. What a bummer, 7 and 8 only!

So how do people who build their own system from scratch install Windows 10? BUY a Windows 7 or 8 OS, and then get a FREE upgrade?

Obviously I want a free Non-Upgrade version, WITH Media Center.

Windows 8 was pretty crummy, but I only paid about £25 for it, and they threw in the Media Center if you were quick about it. A real pain, if you put the directory for Temporary Internet files anywhere else except drive C: , the Store doesn't work.

There is no Media Center in Windows 10 and as far as I can tell, it won't be an option.
