@wirestyle22 Ohhh I figured it might be something to do with retro gaming.
I do love indie games, me and the wife recently had a blast with Bro Force!
Several months back we were playing (and only I was loving!) Nom Nom Galaxy! The wife despised it, I absolutely love the game haha
You simply run around, collect ingredients for soup and toss them into the soup making machines. Then lift the barrel and launch it to the stores in the galaxy.
Super fun

Haven't played it in a while, but The Escapists is pretty fun. Though the prison I'm in now is super hard!

@scottalanmiller Wow that's pretty terrible lol...
Scott needs an upgrade! Then again look who's talking... I haven't had a computer in a couple of years (just a work computer, Surface Pro 3/4) No money to buy parts, no computer! Lol.

@Dashrender And the main reason for delaying updates would be for builds, besides the activation issues we've had (and the over 30 hours of being on the phone with Microsoft to get them to add now 100 more activations to our MAK), we've had the latest build break a large number of our Trend Micro installs.
Builds seems to wreck things, despite fixing a huge number of bugs

@Dashrender We've had quite a number of issues.
Surface Pro 4s: Waking from sleep mode and the video signal doesn't pass thru, Touchscreen fails to initialize, the usual...freezing, hotbag, multitouch issues, other mouse issues (erratic behavior/skipping and clicking around screen randomly)
Surface Pro 3: Wifi related issue (only one case thankfully)
All others: Issues with Outlook (Common cursor issue with one of the latest 2016 updates), Excel crashing, resolution stuck at 640x320 while using display port cables, Windows Freezing/lockups (pre-1511), video driver crashing (Intel), Broken activations after upgrading to 1511 (all machines....), applocker breaking, no directaccess issues so that's nice
For the most part it's been great, but we're just trying to see if there's a recommended or a best practice with going about putting users in different update rings.

Thank you all for your input, look forward to continuing to read all your feedback.

So we're thinking of setting a GPO that will put most users in the "Current Branch for Business" track, which would be a much slower track than the default. (one cycle behind 3-4 months).
We're also thinking about putting a handful of users in the regular branch (one that we're on) since they're more technical and we'll get to see what issues they run into so we can prepared when the rest have the same issue.
Finally, my boss and I will be in the Technical preview branch to see what issues their are with Windows 10 far before they happen.
Sooooo....Does that sound like it would be best practice? Or can you all think of something else I'm missing out on?
Thank you

@scottalanmiller But I don't have a computer! Lol... well I finally do now, but at the time, my 8 year old computer took a dumb. The motherboard decided to harikari itself.
Well.......darnit I guess I could start getting a new build together piece by piece. Definitely not fixing my dinosaur. What's a DDR2 and a Q9650? Lol...or a GTX 280....

@wirestyle22 Ohhhhh yeah I know, Gamestop rips you off. But they were having a special. I mean..... I got a PS4 for $225....that's pretty good. I only had a few PS3 games lol

Lmao Ok ok enough about my broke, in debt self. Haha

@wirestyle22 *sigh.....I took the deal Gamestop had going on and spent birthday money to get my $225 PS4. Sold my PS3 to them and all games. (at that time the PS4 was $400)

@coliver I have been wanting to build a new PC for six years and haven't had the money to lol. If I had the money to build a PC, I'd do it and also buy a Xbox. Why not have all consoles, woot!

@KyleCaminita Lmao! I actually had an Xbox One..........I had to sell it though. Like literally HAD to sell it. I needed the $$

@KyleCaminita B-b-but I love my PS4.....Plus I don't want a system that can BSOD! Bahaha

@KyleCaminita I have a PS4 lol.....

Must.....play......Division...... Dangit, just got paid too! Annnnnnd it's gone! lol.

I did also start playing Grim Fandango, but I have to have a faq to get me through the game
Does that mean I suck? Hahaha
The game gives extremely few hints!
Ummmmm there was this free game I beat that is likely an ode to the old NES Metroid....I can't think of the name right now, darnit! (it's on PS4, it was part of the free game releases for this week or month? Not sure how that works)

At the moment, I just started playing Oniguri. I like it so far, it's pretty fun actually. It's cool that abilities are different per weapon and they can level up! The game doesn't have the polish of the more mainstream MMOs out there, but it's fun and that's all that counts for me

@lhatsynot Ohhhhhh I see, I've never heard of it until my boss mentioned it. Now Nagios sure, who hasn't heard of Nagios?

@scottalanmiller Shrug lol
Yeaaaaaaaah I literally know nothing about any of these programs, addons, etc

I can already tell, my boss is leaning towards PTRG because it's so "the most mainstream one, it's not cheap though."
Does anyone have experience or know of anyone who has used PTRG?

@johnhooks Oh really? Well we'll definitely give it a try. Thanks John!
