Win updates are NOT "internet junk" nor "poor software uninstalls". You're just not savvy enough to navigate the Win OS's innards, as what your saying is completely possible, but are "hidden", for the lack of a better word, from the masses for the inherent danger to really do irreparable damage to the OS if certain procedures are wrongly applied.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but obviously the people you've been talking to, despite working in "the business", are not as knowledgeable as you make'em to be. Most probably because yourself are not as knowledgeable either, so you lack the actual knowledge to pass a fair judgement.

I'm having trouble finding the description of the specific "issue" you were having. If it was implied in the body of the post, then I failed to comprehend what it was.

That's just a blank statement. Without having the blueprint of the project itself and the allocated resources to every single part, it's simply impossible to make any estimate of success or failure of any programming project at all.

You can buy Win 7 with or without a computer as we speak. What are you talking about?

If it happens, it's because you haven't disabled it. Plain and simple. Oh, BTW, when playing live, a part of the most basic machine's setup is to disable the network card and the Wi-Fi. By doing that, anything related to it just can't happen.

I think the overreaction that made you post this thread is basically user error. You being the user.

Why I've performed with my Win-based laptop in excess of TWO THOUSAND performances since May 2011, including rehearsals, gigs, spontaneous jams and studio dates with absolutely no glitches, starting with WinXP, then updating to 7, 8.1 and now 10? I think the main reason might be that I basically know what I'm doing, and the hardware matches the software to be up to the required task.

And yes, my Win 10 OS is updated to yesterday, if you would like to know.

For the record, I became a MCSA in 2001.
