http://www.infoworld.com/article/2907472/operating-systems/windows-10-upgrade-nagware-patch-kb-3035583-now-marked-important-on-some-win7-pcs.htmlI think the description of the patch by rugk on the eset Security Forum is accurate: It's "an adware/PUA/PUS/PUP for Windows 10 upgrade." But to reiterate, we haven't seen any examples of the advertising. We don't know what the final behavior of this patch will be -- it could be as innocuous as an occasional balloon notification that a free upgrade to Windows 10 awaits or as obnoxious as the botched "not genuine" screen blackouts. This is the plumbing, laid well in advance of Windows 10's availability.
Yeah. Sure. And I got a bridge over the Everglades for you .. cheap.MysteryMan said:Per Microsoft - "There's no obligation and you can cancel your reservation at any time.
I don't want them downloading anything first, then telling me about it.After you reserve, we will "download" Windows 10 to your device when it's available. Then we will notify you when your device is ready to "install" the upgrade".
For the time being. But will it install itself later sometime when they decide they no longer want to give you the choice?That said, one can choose whether to "install" Windows 10 or not.
Not a problem since I really don't intend to do it at all. Might be the next time I buy a PC if I can't find one with 7 on it.MysteryMan said:Per Microsoft - You have between 29 July 15 - 29 July 16 to take advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 10......That said, you are free to wait at least a year, maybe two but if you do you will be paying full price for Windows 10.

MP has a channel guide and supports tuners? The others do not? I had VLP, but it was a long time ago.jimmie57 said:Are there any alternatives to Windows Media Center?
If you need the PVR (personal video recorder) features in Windows Media Center, then Media Portal is one alternative. If you just want a simple video player, I like MPC-HC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema), but VLC will do the job. All three are open source and free.
As I recall, people liked 7 and were relieved they could finally upgrade from lower systems. I do remember there were some glitches with requirements and some older PCs were not capable of handling it.dpeters11 said:People hated Windows 7 at the beginning (particularly moving from XP).
