Windows 10

It seems ridiculous to worry so much about updating the OS considering where I was less than 20 years ago.

I had a computer with a 100mb hard drive that I could only keep running if I made a tape backup every day…Just let that sink in for a while!!

Windows 95 took up pretty much the entire hard drive!

I’m just grateful that I no longer need to know how to rebuild my computer from dos.

What I want to know is what happened to Windows 9!!

That’s your operating system, mush.

“Fuck yis all! I am Lone Wolf! I don’t give a fuck! I’ll run Windows 9!”

So I have clicked the “Get Windows 10” app. I have not got Windows 10 yet. It tells me I will get a notification when it is ready to install. We shall see, Microsoft - we shall see.

Schoolboy error there pap. You’ve handed over your entire identity to Microsoft and now they own you.

I clicked that over a month ago, been patiently waiting since then…

See you back online in a fortnight then Big Bad Bob !

I think they’re sending the update out in waves, which I can understand from an infrastructure point of view, but it’s a bit crap from a consumer standpoint.

I want my computer irreparably fucking broken with a new OS NOW, goddammit.

So typical of the want it now generation…

The FAQ suggests that you have a month to decide if you want to stay with 10, or revert back to 7.

On that basis I might be stupid enough to click OK, let’s continue…

See you in a fortnight!

Just read a report on the BBC website and they reckon the waves of rollout will last weeks not days. As per normal for me I guess I’ll be one of the last ones…

So…Do I do it?

Theorising that one could install Windows 10 within his own lifetime, Doctor Saint Bletch clicked the Accept button on the Get Windows 10 app and vanished…

He woke to find himself trapped in the past, downloading mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to get his laser printer working. His only guide on this journey is pap, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Bletch can see and hear. And so Doctor Bletch finds himself leaping from site to site, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next driver will be the driver home…

Well, I accepted, but then I was asked if I want to do it now or later.

…I’ve demurred.

Oh go on…DO IT!

Somebody has to be the guinea pig…we’re all waiting here for a full report.

Oh ok.

FFS Bletch, gird your loins and Just Do It

Underway.

On phone.

Screen has been blank with HD light flashing for a LONG time.

Worried of Eastleigh.

Lou Lou do you have a girt big grinning face penis head emoticon appropriate for this situation??
