I'd like to continue ripping it apart, but I'd better get some sleep.
And oh, you have a blast of a day.

You too. Sleep tight.

And articles that require QA (note: Q&A is an entirely different thing!) are testicles?

Good thing they are not called Test Articles.

I just used "farticle" for the first time in a Git commit.

Or, in this case, fart gags. You inspired fart gags.

But fart gags are great, thus inferring that my original statement is true.

So, after a day using W10 Anniversary Edition, I have to say that I like it. There are lots of little tweaks that just make it a better place to be than straight W10. So, what's impressed me so far? Well, the Start Menu has been improved - it's a tweak here and a tweak there, but it's a big improvement. For a start, the applications list is shown by default now - the space that the older options (such as Power) took up has largely been reclaimed with those options now available as a flyout on the menu.
The calendar application is a huge improvement. As someone who normally lives appointments, etc, through Google calendar, the native Windows calendar is a vast improvement. Maybe I haven't had the chance to find the warts in it yet, but it is nice.
Startup is a lot faster for me. While W10 started quickly before, there was always a period where I wasn't actually able to accomplish anything because of services starting up. I don't know what they've improved but I am working sooner. Edge is also a lot snappier - I was previously very unhappy with the speed of it; it now responds a lot quicker than it did.

I've just finished updating. I had the freeze for less than a minute after I first logged in, but it seems to be behaving itself now.

Well, I have a problem booting - before the @#$% Anniversary Update, my computer booted within seconds. Now, it freezes (wit a black screen) for more than a minute before continuing to boot.
Using xbootmgr I've narrowed the problem down to the DCOM Launcher service, but have no idea how to proceed from here. Google doesn't seem to be much help 
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.

Thanks, it turned out to be an issue with the AMD Radeon 6700M display adapter in my laptop. It turns out that there is a Registry tweak that fixes the issue (search for EnableULPS, and set it to 0).
My thanks to all those who tried to help me.
