Just another confirmation that I still do the right thing not falling for the flashy free things... they remind me the signs "free bird food" that Eile E. Coyote used to put on the street.
If it's free you'll pay for it.
You obtain as much as you pay.

This sucks. Lots of complaints. Nothing worse than offering something and then taking it away. I understand restricting unlimited. It was always silly to offer that anyway. But restricting people who were already restricted (so couldn’t abuse it by definition) makes no sense. I assume they just want more revenue but better to offer incentives to pay for more space rather than futher restricting existing space. They could also have applied restrictions to new users rather than existing ones, like they did originally. And what about very long-term Hotmail users? No longer any reward for loyalty? Way to go Microsoft!

Google’s vice president of design and the man behind the company’s Material Design philosophy, Matias Duarte, has been making waves this morning with several tweets he sent out criticising Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system after he experienced it for the first time on his new Surface Pro 4. And a bigger Start menu. How did he miss that one?

Does he also say that MacOS El Capitan is MacOS Cheetah with a flat look and Window 7's Aero theme?
Oh, hang on: we're talking about a VP from one company calling another company rude names. Right.
As long as we're all being grown up here.

The killing of UserVoice actually took place on 30 October, but the site remains accessible until 16 November -- almost coinciding with the expected release of Threshold 2. Before you start to panic that Microsoft is killing the feedback that has been provided, there is a contingency plan. If they can't hear about bugs, they don't need to fix them

Don't forget the "connect" site[^], where you can provide detailed information on bugs you've found so that Microsoft's skilled engineers can immediately close the report as "by design" or "can't reproduce".

Speaking to PC World, Microsoft Corporate Vice President Joe Belfiore explained that Windows 10 is constantly tracking how it operates and how you are using it and sending that information back to Microsoft by default. It can, but stopping it involves installing Linux

I guess my nice pfsense router will be able to correct theses issues.

Is it also the first step to install Windows as a service ?
