Yup - and lord that was quick. I guess they've been in the news a bit recently

Yep, just those two.

You just had to go and install smoothly so the only thing I could rant about was the length of time to do the actual install. Set it away late last night - woke up to a fully functioning anniversary update. So far, everything is still working; no issues to report.

Ho ... really?
Checking... downloading now...
It is damn slow indeed!!!
Damn you Windows Update!
|
|
|
|

I just set it off downloading, and when I looked it had reached 89%. I go back a few minutes later to see a "something went wrong" message with a button to try again.

Windows is now telling me it isn't activated and it also won't let me edit anything in the registry!

No sign of it being available here so far. The only update I've had is a Windows Defender definition update.

All they had to do to make me happy was go and revert the code that made connecting to VPN so annoying, yet they didn't.
And yes, it took longer to install the update than it took to install it as an original install. Crazy.
Struggling to see anything different. Then again, I don't use Cortana and I don't use Edge.
They really should have called it Windows 10.1 and given it a pretty new wallpaper. Then it would be blindingly obvious it's a Big New Thing (yeah, Apple. I'm raising my eyebrows at you).
"Anniversary Edition". Just when I think the naming gurus at Microsoft can't get any worse.
(Yeah, I'm having a post-upgrade-letdown day where the excitement and dopamine and all worn off and left me with nothing but old coffee grinds)

The real secret to this was that MS only updated the last update date as the anniversary update.
Having managed to get that right, you give them Kudos . . .
. . . actually, now that I think of it, that's one of the smartest moves they've made in years!

I upgraded from the ISO on MSDN (ran setup.exe to upgrade, rather than doing a clean install) and the upgrade was completed well within an hour. Mind you, the machine being upgraded is a pretty snappy i5 with 16GB of RAM and an SSD.
It probably would've gone a lot faster if the ISO itself hadn't been sitting on an old and slow Atom-based machine that happened to be very busy at the time (both disk and CPU still sitting at 100% as I'm writing this in fact).
I had been running a number of Insider versions on a VM for months, so there was no real surprise, but one thing I didn't expect is that it removed the DisplayLink software I had (essentially a driver) as it's apparently no longer needed for my USB3-to-VGA adapter.

Crikey! Australia is Moving Six Feet North![^]
Quote: Every year the Australian continent drifts about 2.7 inches north because of the slow sliding of the Earth's lithosphere. It's hardly enough to trip you up, but it can throw off any computer system that relies on pinpoint map accuracy.
At this rate, within a few tens of millions of years "Down Under" will become "Up Over"

Someone should tell your politicians they need to rethink their immigration plans. Once the wreckage of Indonesia piles up on your northern coast intercepting their boats at sea won't work very well.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Bitch puleeze!
Our politicians have now, and have never had, any plans for anything.
