Win 8.1 isn't too terrible, as long as I can avoid Metro. But I'm still going to upgrade. Not sure if I'd upgrade from 7 though.

It's not news that MS would release Win10 on July 29. It's news that Win10 would be usable by July 29. From what I've read, there was considerable doubt on that.
Would you prefer $20 or $30 per month for ad-free Hulu Plus?
No, because the ads on Free Hulu were so bad that I can't even think about Hulu without barfing. OTOH, I'd have no problem paying that for Netflix.
Hulu Plus is a paid service.
Even Netflix streaming is starting to show ads now, granted they are only for Netflix produced shows.
So far I'm not bothered by Netflix's ads. As long as they don't interrupt or delay the show I want to watch, I don't care. As for Hulu, I've never had Plus, but free Hulu isn't worth it for free. The ads, last time I saw it, were as bad or worse than network TV despite their relative shortness.
The thing people are avoiding isn't "television" (video dramas, comedies, etc). The thing people are starting to avoid is "television" (getting those shows via cable companies). I don't think any predicted the death of video as a form of entertainment.
Absolutely. I watch plenty of TV, much of it from the networks. But I'm watching more and more on Netflix, and now that they're creating content themselves, the old networks will only get smaller.
As long as I can still google for "alternative search engines" and still get results, I have no problem with them.
Talking about ads - the other day I was watching some news show live. They switched to a commercial break, so I hit pause and did something else for 10 minutes. I got back and FFd past 5 minutes, they talked for maybe 3 minutes, and started another commercial break! Reducing ads my asss!
I find it ironic that Ask would do that without, er, asking. Clearly, it's questionable behavior.
As long as my laptop and my desktop don't go pfft at the same time as Dropbox, Onecloud, and Google Drive, I'm fine.
The other day, I was driving on a narrow street in an older area and had to pull over to give the car going the other way room. My mom said something about the narrow street, and I commented that it was probably wide enough when it was built for the horses.
IIRC, mine was Time Warner, and it was just as bad! I don't think gmail existed yet. That's probably when I switched to yahoo, and it was better than TW.
The last time I used an ISP email, it surely didn't have a spam filter. Or, if it did, it filtered everything but the spam.
Nah, I'm still an ass under my real name.
Based on the response Microsoft got when Xbox One was announced as online-only, and considering that Xbox One is a lot more likely to exist in an always-connected environment than the thousands of different types of Windows machines, it would require extreme stupidity to try the same with Windows.
I wouldn't worry much about that.
That doesn't mean they won't try it.
Zinc really works. If I take it, I get over my cold in 7-14 days. If I don't, it takes a whole week or two.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
