Windows 10 is released today!
There don't seem to be many retail outlets offering Windows 10 computers (with Windows 10 pre-installed).
Best Buy has pre-order on 3 laptops in Canada that is). John Lewis are just listing Windows 8.1 machines with free updates to 10.
If is also interesting that my "bootleg" copies of Windows 7 are not showing the "Update to Windows 10 for free" icons on the task bar. My computer that I am using Windows 7 as it was pre-installed does. It looks like Microsoft have worked out a way to determine copies of Windows that have been activated using programs such as the Daz Loader.
The BBC, in a news article and an interview with Microsoft, were saying that owners of Windows 7 computers will get a free upgrade. This is only part of the story as owners of machines with Windows 8 and 8.1 will also get the free upgrade.
However, I am of the opinion that upgrades are "bad news" and I am waiting for a machine with Windows 10 pre-installed. This is not because I think that Windows is the superior operating system or that there will be vast improvements seen in Windows 10, it is just the fact that I can return to factory settings by just doing a simple "restore".

Wayne McAlpine and Complaints to Google
I don't know what else I was looking at but I came across this:
Funny, I suspected as much in April 2012 but this is proof. Doubly amusing as although the "Action Taken: is "Yes", the post still exists on this blog. I guess that Google determined that there was no basis to remove the post.

You would think that 2 years would be enough time
To make sure that any information "leaked" by Edward Snowden had been protected so that there was no risk to agents in the field or to national security in general.
Or is there strength in the argument that this is just part of a "scare" technique perpetuated by those that would like to have the powers suggested by Theresa May's "Snoopers Charter" adopted into legislation?
Why in June 2015 is it necessary for this: British spies 'moved after Snowden files read' - BBC news 14 June 2015? Surely in 24 months any critical details have been expunged from anything that was allegedly "stolen" by Snowden. In any case I was of the opinion that all Snowden was saying was that the US and UK were spying on its citizens NOT that it had detailed information on them.
Also if the Chinese and the Russians have "decoded" the Snowden files and are now aware of what (then) was being done, things would have been changed as damage control on the part of the security services.
Now that would not make a good news story for the Daily Mail or the BBC!

Office of Personnel Management Hack June 2015
I find it strange that this is being reported in June 2015 with reference to the "Sony Hack" of December 2014.
Also, the indictment of China's involvement in this whereas it was the North Koreans last year.
I also cannot see why this continues to be a problem in 2015 - have those that are charged with the maintenance of security, especially those in government agencies, been asleep at the wheel?
