Also, MS likes to send out botched updates once in a while, and would be nice to just not do it until its stable. Kind of like this whole Windows 10 update from WU continuously downloading and redownloading itself, costing me bandwidth and making me fork more money over to Comcast because it fails. Other than that, heres a full list of differences between versions. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/i...b-35922c9d41bc

So you feel that these are better than Ubuntu or Linux Mint? I've been using them for some time. They seemed to be the easiest to install and configure. For me at least.... |

Windows updates
I may have missed something here, but the other day I did a checkup of my system (I speak of Windows 7).
This is a list of the famous upgrades of which we already talked. Here are the results of my investigations: # of the upgrades dates of installations
As you can see, 2 upgrades were installed more than once (KB3035583 2 times and KB2952664 4 times). I wonder why? All of these updates were tagged as having been successful. So, on this machine, there are 2 x 3035583 and 4 x 2952664. It seems MS programmers have no qualms about the space they use for their upgrades. But why several times the same downloads especially when they are already tagged as successful ? Last edited by Ernesto75; October 26th, 2015 at 05:57 PM.. Reason: synthax |

Correction
I think that the same updates which are repeatedly installed should have no impact on the occupied volume.
They are simply reinstalled. Nevertheless this tells a lot about the willingness of MS programmers. Last edited by Ernesto75; October 26th, 2015 at 05:51 PM.. |

Microsoft again
I've run AdwCleaner version 5.015.
When finished, it put in Quarantine what it found. And I found something related to BBrowse2saovve. Last edited by Ernesto75; October 26th, 2015 at 06:22 PM.. |

Your two reasons are certainly the right ones.
Thank you. This proves (if ever we need a proof) that Microsoft is afraid of nothing (moral or not) and will stop at nothing to succeed in the pursuit of their evil objectives. Hopefully they will not succeed entirely. |

I have to go into the BIOS on my Toshiba laptop to turn off the UEFI boot authentication. I'm hoping a Linux implementation that is supported under UEFI will be out soon. If I go buy a used Windows 7 desktop I'd look to create a dual boot Win 7/Linux configuration. |
