Windows 10 to be a free upgrade

Post by Paul K »

This is rather good news !

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-30924022

I use Windows 7 so I think that come the day, a full wipe and re-install will be on the cards, plus a nice new SSD to run it on.

The not-so-good news is that W10 will also come with a voice controlled assistant called Cortana. If it works as well as Siri, it'll be complete crap. 8)

Cortana came in the last Windows phone upgrade.. Lumia Denim for Windows phone 8.1. You'll have seen the advert where matey says "Cortana.. remind me to wish Caroline happy anniversary". Coincidentally.. the upgrade arrived on our wedding anniversary so Cortana was already late :lol: I had a quick look online to see what users thought and found that leaving it an active tile drained the battery at an alarming rate so Cortana is gone.. banished to the back screen :lol: Who the hell is anal enough to use it as shown in the advert :dunno:

Not sure if anal was your intended word Dave but I'll bet there will no shortage of willing numpties out there. :agree: EricT
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!

No.. I meant what I typed.. unsurprisingly :lol:

I'm sure Eric is right and there are untold numbers of very interesting people asking their mobiles to remind them to wash behind their ears! I'm equally sure there's a real need for this sort of help and can't imagine what I'd do without it. I certainly can't imagine what to do WITH it :lol:

It sounds as if they are, & in the appropriate place.......

But everyone's cloud is already doing that!

You're a bit 'hip' having a cloud account Keith :-O I still don't have one! Well.. I think I do actually.. one came with the phone but I've never logged into it and wouldn't know how to to be honest with you :lol:
