Those of you running Windows 10, I'd wait to do this update till you don't need your computer for a while. Took mine the better part of an hour. Not sure if it's good or not, but it was major.

I'm not updating my desktop. With another 4 years before support for Windows 7 runs out, my desktop will be scrap due to obsolescence.

Well now we know how they are going to icrease skype usage after Microsoft bought them.

There are much better alternatives than Windows for almost every user. Why people keep paying them for there crap is beyond me.

Yea...this is their 'anniversary' update and it stinks. Ive essentially told my machine to avoid installing any of their feature updates for 3-4 months.

Thank you Sober ncst8guy for NOT upgrading to Windows 10!!!!!!

My desktop is from 2009, so I'll be ready for Windows Vista II around Hillary's re election campaign I reckon.

I don't think an hour away from the PC is too bad, (time to get to ABC store, and back, and make 2 totties) but getting pop ups from Skype would make me want to uninstall in about 8 seconds!!!

There are *always* ways around the skype issue. You just have to know how the system works. Once you find skype.exe its pretty easy to prevent it from ever launching.
