This Office offer is similar to the one found on ZDNet, and as Espectr0 stated, "microsoft allows you to transfer the license (as long as it's not an OEM license) to another computer. I recently migrated the product to another machine as well.

I had purchased the license months earlier and installed it onto my old laptop. When I bought a new laptop, migrating the license didn't go that smoothly, but was eventually transferred after 15-20 minutes. Their servers lagged regarding the uninstall and deactivation of the old machine. I didn't need to make a call regarding the issue, the new install eventually worked, but I don't remember if there was a text conversation window or not with Microsoft.

I had two of these product offers on account, and part of my issue was identifying the install and related key, as my Microsoft account didn't distinguish which key was associated with the desktop or laptop (something I normally log but forgot).

It's easy to be on board with protecting children, but it's unlikely to stop there. "Think of the children", likely will later include chosen blacklisted images from those pesky "Domestic Terrorists" and bigots. Better round up those who saved pepe memes and 4chan satire.

Seems to sum the networks up quite well. Too bad Roku can't stop offering all these useless channels instead of only dropping FOX.

I don't know about other airlines. I don't travel often (1-6 times/yr). Air Canada mandates all electronics, and encourage passengers to carry valuables and medications in carry-on. For me, it means a full carry bag with laptop, electronic odds and sods, medications, and documents no matter if they were to offer free baggage check, or some funky boarding scheme. Your results may vary.

I solder RCA interconnects for short run RCA cables. May not be to taste for audiophiles, as those technically inclined mentioned in audio forums suggest issues between impedance vs high frequency, but in my opinion they seem to suffice just fine for non critical uses. I used them on cassette decks and receivers without perceived issue.

My $0.02... Your results may vary.

I'm not a great fan of Apple. I use Windows for the desktop, Linux for my personal server, but I use the iPhone as my portable device.

I like the iPhone because the product is consistent and reasonably durable, iOS is updated consistently for some time, and despite some of the hateful design changes, I don't have a great need for gadgets or dongles, so I can adjust to that. Each device I've run over three years before moving to a new device. The OS remains rather consistent, and based on my demands, I haven't had performance issues with my Apple devices.

I've had two different Android tablets, and each had 1-2 os updates before they were abandoned by the manufacturer, each left with stuttering video and other performance issues. Both were disappointments, and don't need to risk buying something I'll hate every day.

I've been satisfied with the iPhone in the long term, so I'll stay with it.

That is my experience too, especially the "Oh, FFS!" portion. Seems like once you wake the screen, app updating (data or install) is immediately queued, hogging other resources impeding login.

Can't wait to see the cluster fuck of dongles Apple will require for this union of parts.

I still use optical media, but much less so than before.

For audio and video media, CD and DVD are my first choice, but as a means to an end. I have several used disc sources, and a couple of local stores still selling new material. It becomes an automatic backup once I rip the discs to the file format needed, but the media itself is infrequently used once on my file server.

DVD+/-R and BD-Rs became secondary backup sources. USB hard drives are much more convenient, but I'll additionally burn valuable data to blu-ray, periodically testing the discs for readability.

With a Gigabit+wireless AC network at home, I have little need for optical media for everyday use. An external USB optical drive for my laptop is more than sufficient for the odd need. I'll litter available desktop PC slots with optical drives.

Granted, it's old fashion DLNA, but the devices work well on my network and with my Linux/Twonky Server set up I've had for years.

Would blue crude suffice?

I'm also a happy long time Thunderbird user.

The day Apple supplements my paycheque to needlessly buy new machines will be the day I needlessly buy new machines. Meanwhile, I'll keep running my 5 year old E520, equipped with an i5-2540M, 8gigs of ram and 512gig SSD, and be happy with it until it dies. It's good enough and not brutally slow for my needs.

I read the summary. I'm sure they're resetting Windows update to enable the Windows 10 download after each patch cycle. As I have Security Essentials installed, I wouldn't be surprised if the download is enabled after a definition update.

I've had to repeat unchecking the download on both my machines twice last week. I had unchecked the Windows 10 download on my desktop Thursday morning, to still have Windows 10 installed that evening.

Friday I found Windows 10 download in WU enabled AGAIN on my Windows 7 Pro laptop, and unchecked it. I went back into WU today - it was enabled again.
