They said it couldn't be done.

Okay, I said it couldn't be done. And, in the first flush of things, that seemed to be right. But of course it had already been done by people all over the place, so my statement that it couldn't be done would be more accurately summed up as 'I couldn't do it ( Read more... )

So, as you may be aware, or may have been made aware by the sudden appearance of a notice about it on your machine's taskbar, Microsoft has brought out another version of Windows. windows 10 it's called and Microsoft claims it will be their last instantiation of the operating system.
