i thought the whole point is to get as big a base of users as possible on win 10, then try to monetise via their store a la apple and what not (on the consumer side anyway). --- incidentally... i don't suppose anyone know if it's possible to downgrade back to 7 once you upgraded to 10 if you don't like it? that is.. would the 7 key still be valid?

... 18 and 14? flash has 3 flavours.. so to speak.. the activex (ie), the npapi (firefox) and ppapi (chrome/opera)... some are bundled with the browser/os and don't need separate downloads. you might want to look at the flash module in your control panel to see which version of which flavour you have/need to update.

read something about this a few days ago? http://www.ghacks.net/2015/06/19/googles-in-hot-water-after-dropping-binary-code-in-chromium-for-linux/ ... i thought the problem wasn't the thing existed, but that it was in binary with no source code.

um... you can switch back and forth instantly by flipping ime (input method editor) within windows for free... so you have 2 ime.. english and hebrew (or more, depending on how many languages you want!) .. there's even a key shortcut for that (left alt + shift. can be changed to whatever combo you want.) seriously... try adding hebrew ime like i said above and see if it works ok for you.. i'm looking at the preview and it's got hebrew characters corresponding to whatever k

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="36" id="3558617"] W10 will go subscription only, you won't be able to purchase it any other way. For your subscription you will get continuous updates, forever, and MS will have you by the short and curlies - no subscription = non functioning o/s.

i was under the impression the free upgrade is just what it says. free for home user and will match edition with what you have. (eg home->home, etc) i think they did say it'll be kept updated for the lifetime of the device... no idea what that means. eg.. i install win 7 on a new machine, free upgrade it... what happens if i do a fresh install on the same machine? install 7 and upgrade again (what are the chances of it asking me to cough up some money)? or is there a win10 inst

apparently rockstar doesn't realise there are non-english speaking windows users out there in the world and installation borks if the user account name isn't alphanumeric (or some such). what year are we in again?
