WTF - mine updated with 20 updates when I shut it off last night. Haven't re-started it since.

*crosses fingers for later*

Updates are a bad thing when you running the OS on a partition...
Windows 8.1 fresh install took 26 gb, and i only made the partition 30 gb. Lol.
I fraid to update.

[originalbling]

some of those updates slow older computers down noticeably.

To those using IE still, make sure you have the latest Java installed. MS delayed the IE update to block old versions of java till next month's release.

Microsoft set to unveil Windows 9 on September 30th

Microsoft is planning to unveil its Windows 8 successor next month at a special press event. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that the software maker is tentatively planning its press event for September 30th to detail upcoming changes to Windows as part of a release codenamed "Threshold." This date may change, but the Threshold version of Windows is currently in development and Microsoft plans to release a preview version of what will likely be named Windows 9 to developers on September 30th or shortly afterwards. The date follows recent reports from ZDNet that suggested Microsoft is planning to release a preview version of Windows 9 in late September or early October.

The early technology preview will give developers a first look at the new mini Start Menu in Windows 9, alongside the removal of the Charms bar feature and several UI changes. Microsoft is currently compiling builds of Threshold ready for the preview that include an early version of Cortana, but it’s not clear if this particular feature will be made available as part of the technology preview.

While Threshold is likely to be named Windows 9, it’s unlikely that Microsoft will name its upcoming Windows release at its press event. Instead, Microsoft is said to be planning an overview of key new features of the upcoming operating system, with a technical preview ready for developers and enthusiasts. Microsoft is also building a separate combined version of Windows RT and Windows Phone, and the company may take the time to detail this work during its press event. Either way, Microsoft’s next version of Windows is nearing completion and the company will be ready to talk more about it next month.

Tried out the Windows 10 Technical Preview. No big difference to Windows 8.1. Only major difference is the Metro Start Menu replaced with a modern version of the Windows 7 Start menu. Other than that, its basically the same as Windows 8.1 in terms of the GUI. Performance seems the same as well.
