Nah mate, yoove got it all wrong. You keep failing coz your getting to much of it write.
Next time, go in drunk and not giving a flying-elephant. You'll come out with a perfectly respectable pass! Just like a résumé, you've gotta tailor the answers to the situation. The testers just know that something looks funny and ding ya for it. A case of wrong is right, or something along those lines.

Funny that you mentioned it but I seriously considered doing this. The only thing stopping me is it's against regulations to be intoxicated during the exam (though they may not find out)

Haha. That deserves an honorary citizenship. I'd have done so sooner, but have been busy being the best Aussie I can. Someone's gotta (try) to give MM a run for his money. 
Anyhoo, may I present you with your certificate: http://imgur.com/u4kyAVj[^]

Is Windows 10 just another pane in the glass?

The update itself was fine - but I suspect that nearly all the testing was done by people who like (and thus had) Win 8, and the problems start when Win 7 is updated because it expected me to be using a Microsoft Account already. I could be wrong.
Still an ugly b*gg*r though.

Nah. I went from 7 to 10 without so much as a hiccup.

So is a Microsoft account a necessity or can you get by without one?

I assumed you could get by without, but then it suddenly went to a login screen, and wouldn't let me use my old local id (the blank password didn't work).
According to t'interweb, you don't need a MS account with 10 - have a google.

That's what's confusing me. Some say yea, some say nay. I think I'll stick with Windows 7 for now as I don't see any great need to change (notice I didn't say "upgrade"). Windows 8 was no good, Windows 8.1 was better but still not enough to make me change. I understand that Windows 10 is way better than Windows 8/8.1; however, after hearing your story, and many other similar ones, I don't feel any pressing need to change before nearly the end of the "free" period.
Good luck with it! I'll watch your comments with interest (as always).

 Never heard that expression. I am just feeling a strong need to use it in my next teleconference (in face to face, the others may understand it correctly).

Working from home today, listening to my wife and daughter.
My daughter is home schooled (grade 4); they are working on the language constructs.
My wife said, "Today, we have to add a 'which' clause..."
I understood what she said, but my mind automatically contrasted the two spellings of the same sounding word.. I smiled and left it at that.

How do you like homeschooling?
I know many colleagues and friends who have homeschooled their children over the years, some of them have been home schooled themselves. Mostly positive reports.
