Good for her.

Like I've said before, '10' seems to work absolutely fine on some PCs.....But others......

I'm just waiting for them to try and sneak those updates past me again.....Must be due in the next day or so.

Roll on the end of July.....I hope.....Though, again repeating myself, I expect they'll extend the 'free' period...So I'll still have to keep an eye out.

Cheers - Phil.

 :-\

That's over a whole week since they last bothered me. (Famous last words.)

I did find an article about 'the final push' from MS...(Full screen nagware on its way, apparently).....It mentioned that anyone who'd had '10' previously and uninstalled it, shouldn't be bothered again......We'll see.

Cheers - Phil

That was a lie....
4 updates uninstalled again. =)

And again.  :P :P :P :P.......... ;D ;D ;D ;D

And again..... =)

And I didn't mention the fact two days ago.

Cheers - Phil (Who's waiting for the rest of the other unwanted 'items' to appear in the installed garbage program.)

Forgot.....

Last night.....Six Windows 10 updates.....Including the 'dangerous one'...Knocked out.

Ooooooh please......Is there only another week to go before they stop the nagware ?  ;)

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)

Cheers - Mr Grumpy.

And again.....

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

Cheers - Me.

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.

Cheers - Mr Paranoid.

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