Forget the joke icon? Win 10 was a free upgrade.  For sure, there was some bullying involved but at least they weren't asking for money. btw, MS is now giving away products that they used to charge for: VS, SQL Server Developer to name a couple. Even the cost of a full Win 10 Pro license is around half of what they charged for Win
That said, I really liked Win 7...at one time declaring it the very best OS I'd ever used. I skipped Win 8 completely and used Win 7 until just a couple of years ago when Win 10 became available.
So I've been on Win 10 for over 2 years now and now declare it to be the very best OS I've used.
My only real problem with Win 10 is the unattended restarts for which there seems to be no solution. It has cost me a bit of re-work where I had left things open/unsaved overnight only to be greeted in the morning with the seaside cave scene. (you're in a cave by the ocean...or, 'oh crap, what did I leave open?')
What I'd like to see is MS using some common sense before forcing a restart on Win 10...something like 'OK, the logged in user has files open...let's delay the restart and let the user know' or a simple easy to find setting for disabling automatic restarts period. Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a rant!

William, PM, as comic Irish priest is criticized (9)
|
|
|

|

Yep - well done.
You're up tomorrow!

I'd have to hand in my passport if I'd missed that one...

Umm, any chance you could explain it...(I am being slow this am)

William PM; William Lamb, former Prime Minister.
as = as
Ted = Iconic Irish priest = Father Ted, of the eponymous Channel 4 sitcom. and if you have never heard of it, then you're in for a treat.
Lambasted = Criticized
I basically has "as-ted", guessed "Lamb-as-ted", then googled for prime ministers named William Lamb.

My lord, Whig PM never heard of such a thing...

And... as much as people enjoy the CCC, this is a good reason why I hardly ever try.
Most of them are specific to a locale, and, if you don't live there, you are left utterly clueless.
Also, the 'rules' state the next one must be posted by a certain time; at that 'time', I am still sleeping.
But, for those that enjoy the CCC, please continue.

I don't think "most" of them are, by any stretch of the imagination. though this one was perhaps more so, though British PM's are quite Google-able, and Father Ted was, I think, syndicated to many countries, including the US and Australia. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought the show was quite well known outside of the UK - mind you, I am also aware that the timing of the CCC means it's mostly for UK users, so.... there's nothing to stop you starting another one aimed at a different time-zone! 
|
|
|
|
|
As I said, for those that enjoy it... please continue.
A UK based show in syndication probably means it is on cable or satellite; we choose to use a digital antenna and do not get such shows.
I've asked in the past about the timing of the post and been told 'see the rules... the rules are the rules...', so I choose to largely ignore it.

If a man speaks in the forest, and there's no woman there to hear it, is he still wrong?

Yes, he's doubly-wrong because he's only speaking to himself!

I left my previous position 3 weeks ago - Senior Application Technology Developer; this week I happened to look at the name tag that had been on my cubicle. On the reverse side, it says, "Senior Vice President".
If I had known that, I may have asked for compensation to match...
