[Coco] OT: Upgrade to WIndows 10?

[Arthur Flexser]

OMG, I just did the installation, and everything is f**ked up!!!

Steve, how did you get IE to work?

Why have exe files turned into folders?

Why does my Opera browser want me to upgrade to a version I don't want?

Where have half my desktop icons gone?

Arghhhh!
