You're confusing me with Norwegians. They eat dried smelly fish.

Mexicans, Usians or Canadians.
I don't know who's having the biggest right to feel insulted.
The French I suppose, for being excluded.

As I recall, the problem isn't picking them up, but laying them down.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I love it.
Coming from Windows 7, and not being able to update it as a specific and needed software was still not compatible with 10, I started yesterday to update my main development machine.
Good things that were not in 7:
- Being able to switch languages pressing Windows + space (while writing in a web form, in word...) this is wonderful, I guess that this is not needed by most of English speaking guys/girls here... but to me that write often in Catalan, Spanish and English... it is wonderful.
- I had only 10GB of free space before... now that I have everything again at it's place I have 100GB free... probably a copy of windows 10 ready to be installed, all the Lenovo drivers, that recovery partition that is not there anymore (but I have a recovery USB from Lenovo yay!) and who knows what else was lying under the know things...
- I can access the DLNA media server directly from the operating system.
- Edge works really well... I need to find out how to add more rows of "main sites" to get it as I like but appart of that I'm happy with it's performance.
- The display quality has improved a lot... Having 14" display and a high dpi resolution was not good with 7... now everything looks great.
- The way search works after pressing "windows" is really nice.
- Having one task bar under all the screens is nice. It would be great if the start menu would appear on the display the mouse is at the moment you press the windows key, but having the bar in all the displays is a good thing.
- Everything works fast and well...
There are small things that still need to improve but...
- Having Edge as the default PDF viewer is not good enough... can't rotate easily...
- Missing MRU (last used files) in the start menu.
- Would like to be able to change the wallpaper in the login screen... That cave and beach is...
At the end, I'm happy with Windows 10.

That's funny, I had to install some weird not-really-trustworthy tool to unblur everything on 125%. 150% worked, somehow, but that's way too much. It can't even be done with a registry tweak, MS in their wisdom has decided to reset that setting every couple of reboots.

...the first thing you may see some mornings after winten has decided that regardless of the number of projects, unsaved scratch notes, etc. that you left open yesterday, it really needed to restart. This has happened to me a few times, yesterday in fact, despite trying every setting available to force it to 'never ever restart without my permission'.
Other than that, I like it better than 7, which is saying a lot as I long considered 7 to be the pinnacle of MS OS's. My favorite new feature is the taskbar extension to multiple monitors.

I guess I'll have to learn to live with that auto-restart behavior...
In my case is very strange that I leave the computer ON by night, but...
Regarding that taskbar extension, I even used specific programs like Actual Multiple Monitors to get it in Windows 7, it was terrible to have it only at the main display.

I have only had Windows 10 for a couple of weeks and have been looking for a way to stop the automatic installation and reboot (I want the updates, but I need to be in control of when the computer reboots).
There are several ways if you Google a bit, but I am not sure if they still work because I don't see the described result in my settings window.
However, one of my setting might be working because right now I see this in my Settings window:
Update status Updates are available.
Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602 (Definition 1.239.1442.0).
Update settings Available updates will be downloaded automatically, except over metered connections (where charges may apply). You'll be asked to install updates when they've been downloaded.
I guess I will know by tomorrow morning if my setting works.
