Yeah, as cool as this device would be, I wont be putting money down on it until its seamless (so 2020?)
I've moved considerably "backwards" technologically for a variety of reasons - find it easier to shave with the straight razor* (after getting used to it) and never really felt good about throwing away all those plastic "disposables".
(*The recyclable blade variety, haven't gone "full-strop" quite yet)
Not being snooty (okay, maybe a little) , but reading the link is enlightening https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/09/guaranteed_clicksm.html

Anything unexpected in your Accessibility settings?
Have already updated,
Glad to be the canary in the coalmine :|
Win 10 is pleasant and faster[subjective] so far, although I have not used it without some minor tweaks:
Tossed onedrive out (1)
Configured the privacy settings so Microsoft cant watch me drink coffee in my dressing gown (2)
(That also involves getting rid of cortana.)
Frankly, I was happy to bite the bullet and upgrade to 10 as I can fall back to a Debian install on a separate disk. Color me (mostly unconcerned) about the "anti-piracy" features with no pirated games on my Win install (haven't pirated anything since I got a decently paying job)
What does concern me is what might happen to some of the indie games that come distributed as exe's by small studios and some of my more esoteric peripherals (mostly music related). I frankly will be surprised if there isn't some farce involving a 3rd party reporting some game exe as pirated to screw over an indie studio and MS bungling dealing with it till it makes the (gaming and tech) press.
Not to mention what MS are going to do about "pirated" abandonware. In the very small window of time they were giving it away for free I got a copy of Mechwarrior 4 : Merc's, I wonder if that's going to run into any bother.....
