Deterrent to Windows 8?
Authored by: luvr on Sunday, June 02 2013 @ 05:02 AM EDT
“However have you tried to actually install Office 2010 on W8 and if it won't validate, actiually called MS up and do it manually?”
I believe it should be possible to install one Office 2010 copy on up to three systems—at least, that's what I once read. I actually even installed an Office 2010 on a Windows 8 computer, with the same license key that was already in use on a Windows 7 system, and it validated without a glitch.

(I did inform these people that I would no longer be doing any further voluntary work on anything Windows or Microsoft Office related, though.)

Windows cleaning
Authored by: jjs on Sunday, June 02 2013 @ 06:30 AM EDT
Back when I ran Windows, I found that if, every year or so,
I backed up my data, wiped the hard drive clean, and then
reinstalled from scratch those applications I had, I could
free up about half the hard disk. I never checked out
fully what didn't get re-installed, but the Registry at
least became 1/3 to 1/2 the size it was before I did the
work.

Note I didn't have to install any apps that year, file space
disappeared and the registry grew anyway.

Thankfully, with Linux I know what is on my hard drive.

etc)
