Scott I think gjacobse is asking if it's possible to create a windows 10 account without the requirement for an email account.

@scottalanmiller said:

That's possible and would be better. But if an email address is required, I think that it is fine. Having one doesn't mean that they get to use it.

It is not possible to setup a family account without the microsoft account to tie to it.

Here's a how to on windows 8 (I'm assuming it would be similar on Windows 10)

We need to understand where and when it is happening and why it potentially makes sense and if and where potential concerns exist. But that data is being collected itself is not a major concern.

Agreed. I want a list of what they collect & why & how it's used & who can use it. Then I'll quit sharpening my pitchfork and disperse the mob.

Edit: I may settle for less explanation if they get super specific about what they collect.

Yes, I can download updates. The question is how is it intended to work and is it working as intended.

Thanks.

What is a desktop pool? or Horizon View?

VMWare's VDI infrastructure.

Overall, Ubuntu does very well often keeping slightly ahead of Windows, but in one set of test Windows performance dramatically better.

I bet that it is way above 50%.

I suppose, I was just thinking that people will have no clue what it means.. and therefore half will say yes, and half will say no... but you're probably right, because people don't want to break anything, 90% will probably say yes in the hopes fewer things will break with yes.

That is what I suspect, anyway.

Yep, DHCP isn't there.
I didn't check the details section at the RSAT download site but it's there:
DHCP Tools. Dhcpmgmt.msc is not available in this release of RSAT, but equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets are available.

If you are not into powershelling it, then it's Reddit to the rescue:

It seems like there used to be some similar issues with certain USB devices as well.

I downloaded the ISO files on Monday evening.

Tuesday evening I stuck the Windows 10 Home disc in a mahine wit a new HDD and installed.

I was able to skip the product key entry everytime it popped up and complete the install all the way into Windows.

The system is not activated, but is fully functional otherwise.

Just did it as a test because the HDD in the machine died and I happened to be stuck in one place for ling enough to do it.

Lots in fact. My dad actually has that DVD service from them still.

Annoying as f***[moderated] too

Everyone knows why large spinning rust sells so well to the public haha.

But another article state that you can share any network you have acess too.

So this implies that once my network is shared with you, it will not automatically share past you. But you can go into your wireless networks and share it to your friends.

Right, if everyone shares everything that they have access to, it would quickly have a network effect of going to just about everywhere. Seven orders of Kevin Bacon and all of that.

Which articles are right is the big question.

I'm pretty sure it would fry an egg. It has been SO hot to the touch.

The preview has always had the option for local network or Internet. Oh that the sending part can't be selected between the two. We're still going to keep using WSUS though.

That is daft.
