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

            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.

            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.

              I can't wait for winter. I feel so much better in the cold. Can't handle the heat at all.

                                    @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.

                                        Should there be anything to buy from the site? It doesn't seem like it.

                                          Nope, because they don't actually have a product. They wanted to get me to endorse it many years ago, but were unable to produce even a demo. They got kind of upset when I insisted on letting me actually install it rather than doing a remote demo that would show me nothing. Eventually when I pushed and said that they weren't getting anything more from me until I had seen the product myself, they stopped talking to me. They had gone through a LOT of effort to try to sell me on the product, too. Like sending reps to see me a few times, even the owner traveled from Canada to meet with us. But all of that appears to have been done in the hopes that with enough presence, we'd like forget to ever look at the actually product.

                                            The funniest part of the whole thing was that after a big meeting one time I had to drive their US rep to the station so that he could return home. And while doing so we had time to talk and he was going on and on about how brilliant the product was. But I finally got him to admit that as the only rep for the product, he'd never actually seen it, either. Only heard about it.

                                            Even internally, there was no product. Not a thing.
