Carefully, if you find it too useful, they'll probably shut it down.

Shutting it down would be too good for it.

My Verizon Droid Turbo (Android 5.1) has Google Play Music (v5.8) pre-installed and it keeps trying to "upgrade" to a version with a ton of features I don't want, but apparently without the one feature I use every day -- the ability to play the MP3 files I have on the device. 
My phone tells me that v6.7 is available.

What version of Android? I have v5.0.2 and use both Google Play Music and HTC's Music app. They both play all of the MP3 songs I've put on the device.

Google Play Music is installed on my Jellybean Samsung, but never touched it. Music app works just fine on my MP3s.

So I hammered out and explored a bit with Raspberry Pi B (or whatever version it is) with my son and took it as a learning opportunity to learn github and some more Visual Studio with our raspiAI[^] project.
The goal was to do as much cool stuff, somewhat AI based, with the raspberry pi as possible. For the most part, it was fun and I had it all working except facial recognition but the camera was working. It made me sad how difficult it was to compile the CORRECT version of OpenCV that worked with the python code I wanted to use for facial rec.
So the Raspberry Pi 3 comes out and Microsoft has its IoT OS I was really eager to learn and explore. The goal of this was to step it up a notch, especially now that I can use anything .Net right? Not exactly, is what I learned last weekend. For this Pi 3, I want it to be a home-robot that can do facial recognition, text-2-speech, speech-2-text, and sit on a Lego NXT carbot and control it. I couldn't find a .Net NXT library that worked with IoT, so I couldn't proceed using the IoT OS so I switched to Raspbian as I know python NXT code exists. So I am now stuck trying to build and compile all of the prerequisites for the NXT code, which if I remember right, I got mad because linux errors kept telling me things are wrong and I decided to play some Dirty Bomb instead. So back using Raspbian, I lose the cool text-2-speech Microsoft has (along with its other cool AI APIs) and I am still learning how to get the Raspbian text-2-speech voice not start half-way thru the text and a somewhat decent sounding voice. I don't even want to think about getting OpenCV installed and compiled but it is the only way to get facial rec going on the Raspberry Pi 3 from what I can see.
Anyway, I can't believe things are still so difficult to get the basic AI programs to work on these devices. I am wondering if others have a similar opinion or find it really easy to get a raspberry pi listening and talking and recognizing faces.

I didn't get very far with that whole Windows 10 IoT distro. They force you to log in with your Microsoft account, the website is terrible to navigate (I found downloads in like three different places and I couldn't tell which is the OS I'm looking for), and then as far as I can tell they don't let you download an ISO, you have to install some stupid program that downloads the ISO directly to your ISO card each time you want to install a copy.
Did I get all of that right? Is that all of the pain that one has to go through just to get a copy of the OS?

I thought the same thing but it isn't an iso download, as far as I know. It went down something like this....
You need Windows 10 to download an app that downloads then installs Windows IoT onto the raspi. Once installed, you open a web browser to connect to it and it has some neat features but nothing jaw-dropping. There is no desktop or anything that looks like Windows or Raspbian; you use Visual Studio on your Windows 10 and that places the app onto the raspi when it is built.

Well, hark at Mr High-and-Mighty! "I've got so many points, I don't consider myself to be one of you low-rep plebs. Me and SAK are in our own little club, and the rest of you can all get lost."
You've even managed to get yourself removed from the Who's Who at CodeProject[^] page - sort by reputation, and the list starts with SAK.
Or did you mean "All of us"?
