What's Skype? What's instant messaging? Is that like texting or something? God I hate texting... :shadedshu:

So I probably hate Skype too.

Oh well. Just another one of the nine billion things on Windows 10 I'll never use. Can't see how I care too much about it then.

I'm waiting for some confirmation before I comment.

It's all part of their master plan to integrate and assimilate themselves in to our daily lives.
Skype became a part of Outlook a while ago, so mail users could message directly or video call, MSN has it integrated, it only makes sense they force it on everyone.

Are you one of those horrible, horrible people who has to talk? The kind of person you send a mail to as a reply to an ongoing discussion and then calls back ome minute later and all you have to say is what is in the mail because that is why you wrote it? If yes, I hate you.

And updategate. Seriously? :shadedshu

Skype is great, i use it all the time.

Here is a small sample of the "ladies" who have tried to make my aquaintance on skype......there are 84 in total. I dont know why they find me so attractive..... :peace:

So I take it your wife don't know about the "list"

She does occasionally glance over my shoulder and has commented in the past.

All of these requests were entirely unsolicited and i have never replied to one....not even the one from "Delia Gonk'"

I think it is totally inappropriate for youngsters to receive these sorts of requests and there seems to be no control.

Either one stuffed up and uses a few names, or they share pics.
The same pic shows up twice.

unfortunatly theres no picture of " Lovely Dorcas "

Well, I would ordinarily take this route too, since it is Inquirer. On the other hand, it's M$, and the antics they have and continue to pull regarding W10, sooo, I'm going to say this is very likely.

And not only that but also:

Windows 10 Anniversary Update will double the number of Start menu ads/promoted apps

Sure, all that stuff can be uninstalled but then again who needs more crapware

edit: without that W10 clean installation could've been much faster just like on ltsb version

clean out-of-box start menu on W10 ltsb

I'm not SKEPTICAL per say, I just don't comment on rumor from either side until I'm sure. Pretty sure this'll pan out with a rant about privacy from me though...
