AskWoody LoungerNo way that I would agree to use it myself, way too much intrusion to my privacy as it is already.

AskWoody LoungerThanks for all the staff’s hard work in getting the site back up and running smoothly again. The site was previously loading as if I were using a dial up connection, but it’s now loading each page very quickly. Keep up the great work! Thanks

AskWoody LoungerNope, haven’t played Candy Crush a single time, removed it immediately along with several other useless items that Microsoft saw fit to include with Windows 10.

AskWoody LoungerMay 14, 2018 at 9:10 am in reply to: Windows 10 version 1803 isn’t compatible with Toshiba solid state drives, either #192248That is certainly the ultimate level of incompetence on Microsoft’s part by not even testing this version on their OWN hardware. Microsoft has fallen into a sad state of affairs in my opinion, I no longer have any trust or confidence in them.
