WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WPC 20K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I'm on my old computer and download Windows 8.1. However interestingly in the Store it says still "Preview" but only on the main page. Well, I guess it has to be the final and Microsoft just messed up.

Quite possible. I've upgraded two so far, got one more to go. I haven't really explored it much as I haven't had time.

The place in Wales I'm going to tomorrow only has 6 houses in the town. The closest real 'town' is 21 minutes away! Should be interesting. Did I mention it's up in the mountains?

We will see. I just started downloading, maybe I won't even install it today.

Sounds great! I hope weather will be enjoyable.

And these mythical little creatures only living in Wales, quite related to the Irish Leprechauns but even more dangerous and mean. They are called BigPaddies.

The install takes some time. Both computers took at least 1 - 1 1/2hrs each.

Supposed to rain/thunder showers. Hopefully well get some nice weather. We're going mostly for the bread making.

Maybe they originated from Ireland. I'm not sure, I have never been to Wales, I've only spent half a year in Ireland.

I just realized that the way how Windows 8.1 is installed proves what I always said: Windows 8 is just Windows 7 with the Metro surface lazily put onto it, and because of that it can be upgraded directly from the Metro store.

Re: WPC 20K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

You know my name?

I'm keeping a closer eye on you so close you can almost feel me touch you! :P

I also know why you call yourself big, it's cause you're over 6' tall. :P You just think you're alone... hehehehehehe

Only the setting that "Start" shows the desktop background makes 8.1 so much better.

IDK, using the default background, it is "animated"... in a similar manner to how the background on a panorama phone app animates... it just moves left/right at a slower pace than the tiles.
