Doesn't fucking work, no matter what those fucktards say, this shit is dumb. Can you imagine any other product? Toyota? " Hey everyone, our new latest upgraded Corolla is here!! The last models were soooo successful but the new one is better!! Yes, this model has 5 wheels, handlebars instead of a steering wheel, is made of cast iron for weight reduction, and runs on steam. We call it the "Balmer delux GTI GLF Cack"
Can't even bring myself to test it tonight, worst product experience ever. (Millennium Edition almost made me suicidal, but I was a relative novice then)
Edit: more bollocks exists, tried this, reached for the bottle

Maybe you have the same bug I did because I was going through the same frustration. I went through all the steps but nothing happened. Now following the steps in that video works fine for me. Did you do a live chat with a tech support person where they take control of your computer remotely and try to fix things?

Bug on a new system? I heard something about problems when updating from 8 to 8.1 but fresh out of the box?
I didn't try anything last night, no fit state after the bottle was started, maybe today when the mist clears.
So which live chat do you recommend, HP or Microshaft? And can I assume my request is possible, i.e different language interface for each user? I don't want to switch the whole thing to English only.

That's a shame, any particular models with the Dells. The Precisions I've had through 15 years have been bulletproof. Inspirons are more used by our office goons that manage to screw things up themselves, but I'm not so crazy on the physical builds.
Lenovos get bogged down very quickly by bloat. I've seen a couple that have been relegated to door stop within a year.

Yep, Apple bloats.
It's impossible to remove Contacts (obscenely insecure) and Calendar (crappy functionality) without crippling to the OS. I am forced to leave Contacts and Calendar installed but unpopulated with data.
Apple's OS also has Events that duplicates Dashboard, neither of which can be removed, grr.
The worst bloatware is iTunes, which is 100 times the size it needs to be and constantly calls home to the Mothership (as well as mucking around with my MP3s in ways I never asked).
Basically, every time Apple "better integrates" its software, they are fucking me over (which pains me to say since I am a long-time Apple fan-boy and share owner).
While Microsoft has dropped hints that the Internet Explorer brand is going away, the software maker has now confirmed that it will use a new name for its upcoming browser successor, codenamed Project Spartan. Speaking at Microsoft Convergence yesterday, Microsoft's marketing chief Chris Capossela revealed that the company is currently working on a new name and brand. "We’re now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our browser should be in Windows 10," said Capossela. "We’ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we’ll also have a new browser called Project Spartan, which is codenamed Project Spartan. We have to name the thing."
Internet Explorer will still exist in some versions of Windows 10 mainly for enterprise compatibility, but the new Project Spartan will be named separately and will be the primary way for Windows 10 users to access the web. Microsoft has tried, unsuccessfully, to shake off the negative image of Internet Explorer over the past several years with a series of amusing campaigns mocking Internet Explorer 6. The ads didn't improve the situation, and Microsoft's former Internet Explorer chief left the company in December, signalling a new era for the browser.
"Spartan is clearly where Microsoft wants to go with browser technology; even the name has been picked to suggest simplicity, speed and hardiness."
Presumably we shouldn't mention the pederasty, though ...
