There's a "sock test" as well: throw them all at the wall and wear the ones that don't stick.

Or wear the ones DO stick - depends on who you meeting...

Nah - they tend to "squidge" up between your toes as you walk, which isn't a pleasant feeling.
Yes - I was a student once...

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

But...but...but what if you're in an accident, and are taken to hospital? Do you want all of the staff gossiping about your (lack of) underwear?!

When I got stabbed the hospital cut them off me so it didn't really apply!

You click-swear you use "assistive technologies:" [^].
Note: WinAero is a labor-of-love site by a single person, Sergey Tkachenko; in addition to intensive daily coverage of every aspect of Win 10, he publishes some nice free stuff, including His WinAero Tweaker app: [^]. imho, not a commercial site.

So if I still use keyboard instead of touch-screen I can upgrade to 10?

Certainly !

It omits to mention that the July 30th update to "assistive technologies" "assists" the jackbooted US security forces to get unrestricted access your "technologies".

It' s true that Microsoft didn't gave a sh*t about our feedback, but finally we got some wallpapers, a few animated GIFs and a badge next to our profile...
I would prefer a Microsoft with ears connected to brains...

We'd have been happy with that back in MSDOS Beta Program days.
We just got ignored...

 MS-DOS actually had a public BETA program?! Was it distributed via RFC 1149[^]?

Oh yes, it had public beta: distributed via floppies if IIRC. Mind you, it was a loooong time ago, and my memory isn't what it was!
And just like today, problem reports got ignored...

Oh...Those good old days, when you were sitting tight to see if the postman will or will not fold those precious floppies you bought with hard cash...

We would have killed to be ignored.
When I was a wee beta tester we had to get up at 3 in the morning, walk 5 miles to the local computer store to get the beta disks, pay to get the disks and then they'd give us a right good thrashing.
Ignored, eh? Luxury.

Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the keyboard box at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the hard disk clean with our tongues. We 'ad half a handful of freezing cold ASCII, worked twenty-four hours a day at edlin for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, microsoft would slice us in two wit' bread knife.

Don't forget to get the hammer and the nails and do your own wholes in the disc, so that the relais get triggered
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You had a keyboard box to live in, a hard disk, and you worked on edlin?! You lucky so-and-so!
We had to find out own lodgings, had nothing but mouldy EBCDIC to eat, and had to provide our programs on punched cards (which we had to pay for). We would have been delighted to get a whole fourpence every six years!
