Another MASSIVE Win 10 update

Yes, I think its been pretty good too - but only since the November 15 build (1511); it sounds like the Anniversary build has raised some issues, like the original 10 release. I get the impression there's not enough in-house testing being done on major releases.

Sky broadband have a 25GB limit for their basic deals. So this takes up a significant chunk of your monthly allowance

Someone who ops for a 25 GB limit should really only do so if they use their computer for general browsing and short videos etc. So they should have plenty left for a one off 4 GB download.

But personally I think 25 GB limit is too low in this day and age when on demand video is easily accessible to for anyone. Especially considering that limit is on a 38 Mb connection which means that they can use up their entire monthly limit in only 1.5 hours :eek:

I have a 35 GB limit as I can't afford £50 a month for the unlimited package. Sadly not all of us have the option to have a cheap unlimited deal.
Luckily my connection speed isn't that fast to use it all at once lol.
Downloading a couple of films, streaming an F1 race and downloading a couple of windows updates soon wipes out the available limits.

MS have supposedly designed a USER FRIENDLY OS - which is supposed to work 100% of the time for 100% of users with minimum user intervention - sadly they have failed on every point !!

I have had it running on several machines since it was first available as a free update. One runs 24x7 . I've had no issues with either the 32bit Home or 64bit Pro versions and have taken no special actions at all other than setting the WiFi on the little lappy I'm using now on a 4G mifi to metered connection. I've also used OOS10 to turn off unwanted features and applied a few manual registry tweeks to make the behaviour closer to my needs. I suspect that my experience could well be the same as the majority. Some will of course have been unlucky for a variety of reasons.
