As a thought, have the Pendraken website servers just been upgraded to Windows 10?  :-\

If they do......I'll either join, or start a class action against them.

Having had a quick Google, it appears that their free offer hasn't been anything remotely like the success they were hoping for.  :d :d :d :d....Feck them ! (Report to Moderators. :P)

And again.....

Ooooooh.....Only a couple or so days to go. (Dream on, Phil.)

Last day for the 'free upgrade', to Windows 10 then.

I wonder if they'll try, one more time.  ;)......They haven't SO far.....Or "Because of its success", MS will extend the free period, and keep pestering those of us who don't want it.

Cheers - Phil.

Well if Microsoft implodes your PC tomorrow, I'd like to say it's been an honour and a pleasure to have met you - even virtually.

You've been like a mother to me.  :'(

I'll miss you.  :'( :'( :'(

Apparently.......It'll be everyone who HAS downloaded Windows 10's turn to be bothered, from the 2nd of August.

That's when the W10 Anniversary update gets launched.....Wonder if that'll be free ?

Cheers - Phil  ;)

Seems to me Windows 10 is getting to be more for the whippersnappers who use "mobeel tek-nol-ogy", and not dinosaurs like myself who prefer a sensibly placed, reasonably sized screen to a cricked neck and tired eyes.

Hi don't know, Hwestie.

I just leave the PC disconnected from the phone line, if it's not in use.....And check for the relevant (barsteward) updates when ever the phone line gets plugged back in....or taken out again.

I'll be doing that for another month after today.....Just to make absolutely sure.

No Phil - not paranoid, we are ALL out to get you.

'Ere......

How far behind us in the UK 'time wise' are Microsoft ?

Bets on them bunging out the updates at the very last minute our time ?
A shiny new old sixpence anyone ?

0 hrs, they have an office in Reading, not that is mentally part of the UK.

Much to my surprise, MS didn't try and install any updates through the whole of yesterday.

"They think it's all over"......Oh, I do hope so.

Cheers - Phil

No.....They saved it for the day AFTER the free download was due to finish.
