Upgrading to Windows 10...
by Michael Bullut 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Greetings Team, As Network and / or Systems Administrators, would you upgrade your laptops & workstations to Windows 10? Most of my machines run Windows 7 & 8.1 but I'm a bit hesitant as I've not heard entirely positive reviews of Windows 10 online. One such qualm is that it consumes a lot of memory. Warm regards, Michael Bullut. --- *Cell:* *+254 723 393 114.**Skype Name:* *Michael Bullut.* *Twitter:* * @Kipsang <http://twitter.com/Kipsang/>* *Blog: http://www.kipsang.com/ <http://www.kipsang.com/>* *E-mail:* *main(a)kipsang.com <main(a)kipsang.com>* *---*

Microsoft has come along way to put its customers and users at the forefront, listening more and very supportive to developer community. So am sure they will be willing to listen to your concerns and feedback. cheers! pro On Wed, Oct 14, 2015 at 7:06 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > On 14 October 2015 at 17:57, Paul Roy via skunkworks < > skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> wrote: > >> Good discussion going on here.

Hi guys, Please recommend a good SSL cert vendor who will preferably work with majority browsers rather than throwing up a red flag. Thanks, ---- George Irungu
