I love Live CD for that reason. Have you used "persistence" on Live USBs yet? My tricked out Live USB is 16 GB with EXT4 and persistence. -T Just the one USB flash stick with Mint 17 on it. With persistent store. Paul |

Checking the holy mother of all hosts blockers: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt I do not see the practice, but it may be because they want the whole site blocked. Were you able to double check that this worked? As I suspect you know, the hosts file is only checked during a *domain* lookup. URI's (uniform resource identifier) are not considered. |

The meat of the matter starts around 2:27 where it covers Enterprise (mission-critical devices) and consumers (Windows-as-a-service) and delivery methods (distribution rings) - note the 2 slides regarding Windows 10 Update Approach (slide 1 for Mission critical, End-user devices, Consumers)applicable. End-User devices (falls under Windows Update for Busines - slide 2, Consumer does not) - Windows Update for Business (free and applicable to Win 10 Pro and Enterprise (allows choice and control) but apparently not necessarily for Consumer (e.g. Windows Core). Based on the above, Pro, if available to the consumer market would seem to be the sole choice for WU control. What everyone should keep an eye out for is the qualifying o/s(Win7, Win8.1 Core and Pro) and the available upgrade paths to Win 10..e.g. will Pro 7/8.1 upgrade to Pro 10. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |
