Backup software is notoriously crapware. Seems like it all contains code written by a Unix flunky in the 70's.

That's without the backup PC software the box comes with, that I haven't installed - this is the "Protect" software built into the NAS!
But I have to agree, backup software is pretty much junk. I'm very tempted to write my own, using ZIP files on the NAS. All I need is the time...

I'm surprised you haven't by now. In the amount of time you've spent complaining about crappy software, you could have written something better yourself.

Just got Win10 build 10061 update on my VM ... first impressions? The recycle bin icon su**s less

Excellent - although I banished it from my desktop because the previous version hurt my sense of a glorious forward march of technology.
I will say - so far I'm finding Spartan is a very good browser.

Is that "good compared to IE" or "good compared to Chrome/Firefox*"

As good as Firefox with some added goodness (reading mode is better than Safari's reading mode and the web notes functionality is surprisingly useful)
|

Did you tested it for development...
So Spartan isn't IE and for that, all the hacks you have done for IE do not work anymore...But it is still a Microsoft product so no standard support either...
Big fun...

I'm with you regarding Spartan ... from my experience it is:
1. Noticeably faster than IE11 - and I'm talking about running Spartan in VM and IE on host
2. Noticeably more stable than IE11 - there are sites I visit often that regulary crash IE but not Spartan
3. I like UI better

What? You are expecting MSDN to be up-to-date and accurate all of a sudden?

In your Win10 instance go to PC Settings then Updates - set the "Update frequency" to Fast.

I just tried creating a VM using VMWare, but it didn't work. Right after the installation process started, I got a BSOD and the installation just kept restarting itself.
Hope you have better luck...

Oracle Dirtbox gives the same.

It works fine in Parallels - and it allows me to pretend I am writing obtuse love poetry rather than capitalist code when I am sitting in Starbucks.
(I did find it works best when you completely ignore its recommendation on how little memory to allocate to the VM...)
