It wasn't that hard to find, I followed the link in Dave's link to MS's Windows blog: "Solitaire. Hearts. Minesweeper. These are games that have been played millions of times over the years in Windows. And they are coming back in Windows 10."

I swear that text wasn't there when I looked. :/

It's definitely not being returned by Google though.

google.com/search?q="And%20they%20are%20coming%20back%20in%20Windows%2010"%20site:blogs.windows.com - no results for the phrase; first result for unquoted version doesn't mention hearts, candy, or coming.

I shouldn't be surprised given how fucking useless Google are, but their incompetence is not usually so directly obvious.

Got this the other day and dutifully 'reserved' my copy of Win 10. Now how the fuck do I make the notification fuck off? Can't be arsed having that permanently in my system tray for a month.

Drag it to the little triangle where hidden ones are kept out of view. If you have one.

Yes but it's still /there/ :@

Uninstalled the Windows Update that brought it, should be gone after a reboot :C

I think uninstalling is the only option.

Even if you hide the icon, it returns on reboot. How retarded is that?

I hear the official solution from MS is to upgrade it Windows 10. That'll sort it.

That may be the official solution, but I wonder what the /real/ solution is.

you can use this to get on with it:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

I was going to wait but doing a motherboard swap has royally fucked my 8.1 installation, took hours just to get it barely functioning at all and it's still not right. So I might as well jump in on 10 straight away if I'm doing an install anyway. Early adoption!

The download is taking aaaages. My vomputer was broken while they were letting some people preload it.

Downloaded 5% in ~4 minutes. So about an hour and a half? Not too bad for release day, if it holds up.

P.S. is Win 10 any good? do I want it? should I be upgrading my laptop to it in the middle of exam revision?

it was, yeah. I dunno why the download is taking so long for me - I have a 60mb connection and it's gonna be at least a three hour job. Maybe related to how much of a mess windows is for me now though.

If you're doing the free upgrade you can't just install Windows 10 without having first upgraded from 7, 8 or 8.1. Once you've upgraded and activated Windows 10 you can perform a clean reinstall if you wish, but you must do an upgrade first to link your previous Windows activation to Windows 10.

Ah well - I had to go out, so hibernated my PC. Just booted it up again and now the downloader just pops up a "Something happened" error message and closes itself :(

Wonder if it's the shitty free wifi in the library - using a 9 year old's log on details, can't access facebook either. Suspect it's limited to port 80 stuff and certain sites are blocked
