I’ve recently seen pictures of Andy Samberg looking like a big ol’ hipster and OH MAN I just realized I work with a near-exact doppleganger of hipster!Samberg…
today feels like a cusp. time will tell.
This is a PSA
If you use Windows 7/8/8.1 then in the next few days you will get a little notification in your taskbar about upgrading to Windows 10.
This is not a virus. This is not a scam. This is not anything to bitch about.
Microsoft will be releasing Windows 10 in the next few months and all this is, is you giving them the go ahead to push it out to you when it’s ready. When you click the “reserve upgrade” button it will tell the update server to automatically download it just as it does any run of the mill Windows updates. Unlike older versions that were a hassle because you had to get the disk and all that, this one installs absolutely effort-less. Once it’s downloaded you’ll just get a notification to reboot and let it do it’s thing. Don’t worry about compatibility because it’s 99.99% likely you’ll have no issues but it will scan for them just in case.
I have been running the insider preview of Windows 10 for months and it is absolutely amazing, even in unfinished form. Don’t be one of those assholes who insists on clinging to outdated software. Upgrade and you’ll like it. It has the best of 7 and 8 and so much more. The best part is it’s free as long as you upgrade within the first year, and no, you won’t have to pay to keep using it later. Anyone who says that is an ill-informed asshole.
In the future, there won’t be a new version released every few years that completely redoes the whole thing like it’s been in the past. Instead, Microsoft is treating Windows 10 as a service and will be continually upgrading it with new features pushed out when they’re ready, more like you get updates on a smartphone, and once you’ve done the initial upgrade you’ll get all future ones for the life of your computer.
Please do yourself a favor and download Windows 10 when it comes out. Don’t be that person who’s going to whine and complain about how you’ll never leave 7 and shit. Just upgrade and get with the times, and you can make that even easier for yourself by reserving the upgrade now in advance.
SIGNAL BOOST THIS SHIT
today’s turning out to be The One With That One Guy Everybody’s Mad At.
