    I'm glad you've not had any issues with Windows 10, but do you run any old software or control any old hardware? I'm sure it works fine for people that do nothing but email, surf and MS Office, but its breaking computers that people use to feed their families all over the world, so I"ll stick with the "FU MS" crowd.
    Interesting. I have them all set to require approval for updates, and every single one that I have had any insight into, beyond hearsay, has had user involvement for the upgrade to happen. As I said, quite a few people just don't know that clicking any button in the latest update window means its going to update.

    I use quite a bit of legacy hardware and software, since a lot of my customers are still using old serial devices (and supporting software). I also use GPIB, and even parallel with one customer. I've certainly had to play with several of my devices to get it tweaked around onto USB adapters, but I haven't found anything that just flat won't work on W10.

    I am, by no means, a Windows only fanboy... I also do a lot on Ubuntu, so I guess I might be more willing to have to tweak stuff to make it come up and run.

    Mac, however, can sucka-di-enda...
