I'm flabbergasted. For the first time ever in the history of Windows, the new version remembered my multi-monitor setup and correctly arranged the screens as before.

Now to image the updated system, and play.

How do you all feel about the controversy on this update?

This is no different from any other software update of any device.

It just proves again that you can never please everyone, as everyone expects it to come out of the box customized for their own individual setup.

For this reason you always see 'How to roll back' articles as soon as a new software update is released.

How is it no different? No different from Ubuntu? Or windows 7? Or do you mean mobile devices?

I'm not trolling, I'm trying to understand. This *seems* like a serious invasion of my privacy, and just because "I have nothing to hide" it does not mean I want everything I do documented or give up my right to privacy. nor does it mean I should let MS advertise to me at every given oppertunity.

You can remove promoted items from the Start menu, or not?

Right now I can but after the update its compulsory from what I've read.

Edit: Ok I just checked, the advertising can be disabled.

I don't remember you complaining about it. You only post positive stories (even there are not entirely true).

Busy downloading the ISO directly now.

Go to the media creation tool page on your phone. You will be told that your platform doesn't support the tool and you can then select you edition. Download links to 32 and 64 bit will be created, valid for 24 hours. Copy link and email to yourself and then download the ISO directly on your pc. It shows that it is downloading version 1607.

Edited: guess in principle it will work like this on linux and mac as well..?
Microsoft do not longer post checksums on Web site.
For all who downloaded a pure ISO using above method, please post checksum for both 32-bit and 64-bit English version.

If you downloaded and created image using Media Creation Tool, ignore.

Classic Shell can resolve only a small subset of privacy issues.
