F'ing Microsoft

Talk about bait-and-switch! I just got an email from the Microsoft Store with the following header visible in Outlook's Inbox:
 
Turn your desk into a Studio
Pre-order Surface Studio now
 
I'm thinking "woo hoo"! About time!
 
So what was on the inside?

    Strange audio happenings since last windows 10 update.  Not a day goes by that sonar doesn't crash for one reason or another.  Smh

    I'm, apparently, one of those that does not have a problem with Win 10 or SPLAT.  But, my hardware and software (and peripheral drivers) are all Win 10 compatible.
     
    My wife's studio is a Martin flattop and a GFI S-10 Pedal Steel Guitar.

    Franklin D-10 Pedal Steel Guitar (primary instrument). Nashville Telecaster, Bass, etc.

    My ex got the money and the summer home. I got the dog. And my sanity back. And the opportunity to build out my own studio after kissing her sorry butt for so long.

    That's a mark in the win column for you.
    The best 115 pounds I ever lost was my ex-wife. Ha! Ha!
