I am not a "tech enthusiast." I'm a well-paid consultant, and if Microsoft wants my feedback (other than I think the W8 / tile whole look is a major step backwards), they can damn well pay me to try their "not everything is working" software. Besides which, nobody listens to free advice. If they pay $250/hr for advice, then there's a better chance that they'll listen.

[edit]Ironically, the fact that Store apps are now sizeable, the start menu has returned, and W10 seems to have a more more sophisticated "snap" feature (but still limited to only 4 apps? Come on, there must be a third party plug-in that does much better) and additional desktops (stolen from the Mac, *nix, and 3rd party) does make is more interesting to me. As to "live" tiles, I still hate them. As to multitasking, someone should tell Microsoft that multitasking shrinks your brain. Smile | :) [/edit]

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
