Ah yes, the W10 start menu is utter rubbish. Long live Classic Shell ....

Yep, same thing happened with the W10 Tech Preview. Your on-line password becomes your local password - which is a bit poor when my on-line passwords are 1000x plus the strength. I don't want to have to type in 16+ characters to log into Windows .... So, it means using a shorter, simpler MS pw.

Ah ... might stick with FF or Chrome ...

I downloaded the Full Windows 10 ISO yesterday .... I'm looking forward to Cortana ....

But I'm worried about installing it on my Windows 7 desktop .... I've got an SSD, and 2 x 4 TB harddrives all TrueCrypted .... Got stacks of VM's setup .... Will also need to upgrade to VirtualBox 5.0 .... Yiiikes been waiting for v5.01 or v5.1 ... Lots of upgrades .... Worried about potential issues ....

Oh well, I'll disconnect the 2 Trucrypted 4 TB HDD's and give it a run .....

***Update: anyone have any experience with TrueCrypt under W10 ? Should I change to Veracrypt or something else ?
