I haven't upgraded yet....

I want to know what changes this "free" upgrade is getting me....

I read that Solitaire is no longer free as it has been since the beginning of Windows. In Windows 10, the free version of Solitaire is ad based and to get rid of the ads you have to pay. Now I don't really care too much about Solitaire, but what other stuff am I going to have to pay for that I can use for free in Windows 8.1 currently?

 :cyclist:

Did you read the part where I said I don't really care about Solitaire but I wonder what other things this principle is going to be applied to????

We are using it to write some pretty simple scripts. Mostly I need to be able to run these scripts and the guy who is writing them decided to use Powershell. But also I am going to write some of my own but it has been forever since I actually did any of that..... and the guys that know more than me suggested to use Powershell.   :dunno: The only programming language I have ever really used is Fortran.
Windows 8 and higher have the built in ISE that makes Powershell pretty easy.

I work for a very small company, so there is no "purchasing". I have to ask the president for anything I need.

i have always used safari on my phone because I couldn't find any better browser. I found one called Mercury a while back and it was awesome but was kind of buggy and crashes a bunch. they came out with a new update like a week ago and fixed everything, I'm never going back to Safari.

also don't pay for it, the $.99 and free one are the exact same thing I think

i think safari is going to include ad blocking in ios 9

well alright.

so this was with 2 pieces of software that microsoft makes(visual studio and office) and im sure it will happen with other software that use .MSI or their built in installer.  if the installer fails for whatever reason, after it fails, instead of stopping the actual installer executable in the background, they keep running.  the way windows is set up you can only have 2 install/uninstaller executable's running at the same time.

so if 2 installers fail, you can't install or uninstall anything because there are already 2 of them running.  well there is a program that will help aleviate this issue, but if the installers are already running, it won't work.  in previous versions of windows just restarting your computer usually stopped one of the executable installers, or turning them off as autoruns when you boot.

well the bug is it doesnt work that way and you have to manually stop those executable's from running, or you will never be able to install/uninstall anything else.  its a stupid bug and needs to be fixed pronto.

sorry software n00b, that's not a bug, it's intentionally built to perform like that to avoid free space errors on the hdd system partition

we dont live in the MB hdd world anymore clams, we havent for a long time, we play in the GB and TB world now.  free space errors because my page file is bigger than the capacity of my hdd is a thing of the past.  and frankly has nothing to do with this bug.
