Default Build 10031

All that remains is for Microsoft to deliver on their promise of a faster
cycle of build releases for Insiders, which should mean we will get to play
around with a new build sometime in the coming week.

Ours is not to reason why. Ours is to do or die or
switch to Linux. Course, our customer's won't switch
(Quickbooks, Office, etc.), so we just have to do and
hold our nose

Did M$ really bring Metro back? Me thinks I will
need a larger cloths pin for my nose!

I have 9926 update installed now.

It made a 450MB recovery partition (for booting to Command Prompt).

As for the UI, I tried to start an application and
got a "spinning wheel of death". My command to
start a program was not obeyed. I shut down the
OS and disconnected the hard drive.

Hey, Microsoft! It's my computer. You can't have it.
If I want a "spinning wheel of death" as my
companion, I'll buy a Mac.

The sad part is, the computer is a hex core, and many times,
the CPU is doing nothing, and the GUI is giving me the finger.
What kind of a stupid design is that ? Is the intent to take
the best CPUs, and make them run with tablet lethargy ? Profit!

Hi Darklight,

Crossover is just another word for the Wine project,
except you pay for it and get nothing of any extra value
from it.

I run Lotus Approach, 123, Word Pro, plus Acrobat 8 in
Wine. They have severe problems. Acrobat 8 is a complete
nightmare in Wine. And the Wine project can take up
to five years to fix a bug, except for games, which they
jump on right away. Wine is still in Alpha stage.

I ran M$O Word 2003 from Wine at a customers site once.
It had a number of issues.

In my experience, it is better to run Libre Office
on Linux that to run M$O under wine, especially now
that Libre Office is so good at reading M$O's proprietary
code. I wouldn't have said this a year ago about
Libre Office, but they have come a long way and they
actaully fix their bugs.

Being a large near-monopoly, they're just not enamoured of the concept
of admitting that they got something wrong.

Maybe Windows93 from the www.neowin.net site will be more to your taste. ;-)
