        Why is creating an offline account for Windows 10 so slow? Not only does it have way too many steps, three screens for something so simple it should be in one, but each screen takes strangely long to load - as if they are being loaded from a slow, remote web server. It's weird.

        Microsoft really wants you to use a Microsoft account. That's why creating an offline, local account is well hidden.

        I get that, it's just a poor experience for the end users, but why is the Windows 10 installer so non-responsive.

        You have to choose: blue-screen loops during install, or slow creation of local users.

        Yeah, but all the OTHER things are so slow, too. You probably get punished more for not going local. It's just punishing, not directing.

        True. I don't have actual metrics to support my claim, but I've been generally underwhelmed by the performance of Windows 10.

        If making things nicer was designed to encourage you to do certain things, that would seem to indicate that Microsoft wants to kill off Cortana, but holy cow that's annoying if you don't kill it with fire.

        You mean having 6 computers all starting up and talking at you in an office isn't you're idea of fun? I thought I'd at least give it a shot and try the voice control to do all 6 at once.... didn't work out so well.

        All 6 computers would hear 6 different commands, lol.

          Making my first coffee in a week. Been so busy, I never got around to having any.

          but.... how?

          Crazy, right.

            It's finally fall here. 50F when I got up this morning. I'm ready for the 2 weeks between AC and heat.

                Shhh, I'm being optimistic.

                  I only got like 2 screens into the initial configuration process before I gave up. It was leaving a different set of spying turned on for each computer.

                                          @dustinb3403 Don't have license for 2016/ I think I might download oVirt and try to play with that for a little while.

                                            Anyone remember this crazy stuff? It's been like three years since I last saw it and still, no product that you can buy. But they keep updating the website and posting "news" as if there is a company there.
