As part of its Windows 10 push, Microsoft declared it will end support for Windows 7 and 8.1 on Skylake processors, on July 17, 2017, three years before the official end of support for Windows 7. This ruffled a few feathers when it was first announced, and now it's drawn the ire of Microsoft's biggest OEM.

I have to suspect that HP and Dell are also facing the same issue. Now that it's in the open, Microsoft might find it harder to resist, especially if the three OEMs link arms and stand together on this.
There is no reason for Microsoft to end the support early other than to drive Windows 10 adoption. And while enterprises have a high rate of interest in Windows 10, there are still many that are not ready to move for whatever reason, and their hand should not be forced.
Another good thing about Picasa:
it wont upload duplicates from e.g. SD card, unless told to do so.-tomos (March 16, 2016, 06:30 AM)
Editors' Note: As you can see in the comments below, not everyone who uses IDrive has a flawless experience with the service. In fact, many of IDrive's competitors' reviews also have multiple negative comments. We're happy to see that IDrive staff is responsive enough to jump into our comments section to address some of these concerns. We've been testing and rating online backup services, including IDrive, for more than eight years now. In our latest round of testing, we had no significant problems with IDrive's customer service, and features have worked as advertised. And when they haven't, we've noted that, and adjusted the score accordingly, as we do for every product we review.
It is incredible what one can store quite cheaply into Google nowadays-jity2 (February 28, 2016, 10:53 AM)
Yes, but how do you back those up, if the unthinkable happens, and due to some malfunction on Google's side they lose all your files?-dr_andus (February 28, 2016, 01:37 PM)
They are also synced to your machine, right?-wraith808 (February 29, 2016, 08:14 AM)

Just completed the checkout, but Drive still shows 15gig... does it take a while before the extra gigs are added?-f0dder (February 10, 2016, 07:49 AM)
Just one question, can you sync both ways?-keithy397 (February 03, 2016, 04:05 PM)
P.S. And it's also for situations when you want to force the direction of the sync, i.e. when you want to ignore certain changes for certain files or folders on one machine and overwrite them with older versions from the other machine.-dr_andus (February 02, 2016, 06:30 PM)
Ideally I'd like to add or amend files in their parent folder (either on PC or Laptop) and they update in their parent folder on the other device???-keithy397 (February 03, 2016, 10:12 AM)
I've been using Allway Sync for selective syncing of folders and files in various directions between Windows computers and it's been working fine for me. Does offer a degree of control for reviewing files manually that you may want to be careful about syncing.-dr_andus (February 02, 2016, 01:25 PM)
is that in conjunction with dropbox or some other way?-tomos (February 02, 2016, 05:16 PM)
Now, we’ve discovered yet another reason to be unhappy with Windows 10. We were receiving many reports about our products, WinAntiRansom and WinPrivacy, not starting on Windows 10 computers. When we dug into it we discovered that on many Windows 10 computers, the DCOM service was failing to start and when that happened, Windows 10 failed to even attempt to start any of the remaining scheduled services. Or, worse, the remaining services would all timeout without starting making it look as if they were in error. In addition, we have seen evidence recently that this issue is working its way into Windows 8 computers as Microsoft ports code back to the older operating systems. As of yet, we are not seeing much traffic about this issue on Windows 7.

It does NOT disable the GWX nagware. To disable the tray icon, you need to apply the registry patch, but note that doing so only hides the icon, it does not remove the nagware itself.-xtabber (January 14, 2016, 01:57 PM)
You can block windows 10 and the tray prompts by applying this reg file-Carol Haynes (January 14, 2016, 12:44 PM)
