Surprised you didn't mention that a Linux shell is included.

You have entered a very dark room.

You see

* An orange turd

* A may bee

* A bunch of anti Brexit MPs who have voted for Brexit

* An angry Scottish leader who wants to go North

* A Fromage

* An idiot who called a referendum once.

What shall I do?

GO NORTH

Sorry Brexit is Brexit.

What shall I do?

Only good thing Trump is doing. I suspect though he will merely rebrand it Trump Pacific Partnership.

You miss the point. Verizon owns Yahoo. It is always Verizon now. And frankly this sort of BS couldn't go to a more deserving cause.

Gordon Bennett you took your time rolling out this story didn't you El Reg? If it was an Apple update you would have been hot on the heals. If it was a Microsoft story you would have had a preprepared coffin ready to roll out. Was there a forced Windows 10 update going on?

Re: "Where every customer is a perpetual unpaid beta tester."

Oh I see. Silly me I should disable group policy immediately and get on with complaining, beta testing and down voting like the rest of you, even though the facility is there. My bad. It's working for me just fine but somehow I must be mistaken or wrong.

"Where every customer is a perpetual unpaid beta tester."

Not every customer. I set group policy in Pro 10 to delay these updates by six months. In my world I won't be seeing this update for quite a little while, so thanks to the rest of you who are beta testing this for me!!

Re: Hmm

@Dan Paul With guns, more kids and toddlers kill people by accident than terrorists do on purpose. Gun crime on US soil 30 times bigger than UK as a percentage of the population. Oh and it says on the 2nd amendment guns should be well regulated. Excuses excuses.

Re: Hmm

Pull back. Nothing to see. Just another Republican freak who's forgotten to read that bit that says "well regulated" in his 2nd amendment.
