Windows 10 Announced
Innuendo:
Even stranger yet (while home machine worked fine), the GS button on my comp here at the office is greyed out...yet both were upgrades with the same x64 MSDN.iso Now the other guy here in IT has an active GS button...he too upgraded with the same x64 MSDN.iso - All machines mentioned are Pro Ed. domain members.

Mystery solved....I had turned Diagnostic and Usage Data Sent to Microsoft to Basic. This setting must be set to Enhanced or above in order for the Get Started button to become active.
Makes sense as MS would want enhanced diagnostic data if someone were using Insider updates.

Stardock has launched Start10 for Windows 10. The $4.99 program is in beta, but the final version 1 is due the 12'th of August.

I don't like how Stardock does business. They spew forth a ton of different programs and don't address bugs. The only time you see a new release is when they have a paid upgrade & it'll have its own set of bugs.
The only program I've seen them update with any frequency & with any commitment to fixing bugs is their WindowBlinds product. Do people even use that anymore?

Yes, they do, and yes, they fix bugs. The fast track is to have the object desktop subscription. It comes to the slow track when stable. And I never paid for an update to Multiplicity (the one I use the most) until they added the KVM features, and in the meantime got several different unpaid updates to address issues.
I've not had any problems with them in 10+ years of using their products, so I guess YMMV.

This is very true. Suppose it depends on what products of theirs you are interested in. I liked the looks of ObjectBar. Abandoned. I also liked Fences Pro, but internet searches reveal that bugs that have been in the product since the beginning are still there and largely ignored by the programmers.
I guess I am always interested in the wrong Stardock products. That and the fact their president is a misogynist.

So, is Windows 10 buggier than an Entomology department?
