Why you always bustin my balls about every little thing!?

How many rants comments have you made in this thread and how many of them have I responded? or how many rants comments have you made on this forum during this week or month and how many of them have I responded to? Do you really feel "harassed" because I answer two or three comments of the 40 or 50 you wrote this month? really?

Edwin said:

Or, could it be that I don't follow all the golden rules the way a loyal MS fanboy ought to?

So are you another one who uses the word fanboy to answer the criticisms of others? LOL, I thought you had a little more criteria but I see that you use the same poor argument to answer others easily.

..., point is, it's an MS invention, and someone was in too much of a hurry or, too stupid or too lazy to check the spelling! Period!

This is a fast ring build, this is not the release preview ring or the slow ring, this kind of bugs are totally normal in this ring, that is not only clearly specified in the WIP agreement but, for some time now, Microsoft writes it clearly at the beginning of the flight notes of each of the builds, and it's not even a feature that Microsoft enabled by default but it's something that some impatient enabled in ways not recommended by Microsoft, and instead of following the regular procedure of an insider and writing a feedback, you prefer to come here and call Microsoft developers "stupid and lazy"?, yes, definitely the insider program is for people like you, you are one of the best insiders I know, keep up the great work!!

Edwin said:

Either way, it's my PC, I'll do with it as I wish

Yes, and every time something is break in your insider build because "you do what you want with your PC", you come to this forum and blame the "lazy and stupid" Microsoft developers

Edwin said:

End of Story!

Yeah, end of the story for me too, as I said before, you are "one of the best insiders I know", keep it up!!

Goodbye and good luck.

.

Well, glad that's settled!

I updated on my old computer to 18970.1005 and was successful after the second try. all seems to be ok.

I'm not goin anywhere, I have too much fun here!!!

Although, I admit, I should restrain myself more often!!!

Lol

But the more Edwin breaks it the more fun we have in helping him fix it.

Hi there
agreed !!!!! @Edwin please keep doing these things with Windows that I don't suppose anybody else in the entire galaxy has even thought of yet !!! (but if I'm on the same plane as you please don't tell the Pilot things to change the characteristics of the aircraft !!!!).

@martyfelker

Thanks for links on running W10 properly on Vmware on manjaro Host

VMWare tools now working perfectly --I had forgotten to start the usb-arbitration service !! --I used the first method in your message as the 2nd one gave me same problems as I had before -- I don't know who maintains those AUR things butr there's a HUGE amount of stuff in there that makes installing your favourite applications a doddle. No nag messages to install vmware tools either on VMWare start up.

Anyway happy running this W10 release properly now with sensible video etc (now Vmware tools working)





Cheers
