Cost and space and it's not the CPU that makes the most noise.

Anyone else out there ever get up in the morning, do your duty, head into whatever little piece of the world you've carved out for your studio, walked up to your PC to fire the old friend up for the day and said, "S**t. It's still on!"?
 
Or is it just me? 

My only boondoggle on these things is coming in the morning and the computer got restarted because
W10 decided to do some upgrades even when my settings state to ask me first.
 
Nothing like being ignored in life! We're stupid .... !!! I feel like I'm in a rest home already!

Windows 10 has some things broken in it like shared networking.  It asks for login when I transfer to a shared drive. I think I posted it on this site.  MS help site is the most useless thing ever because whoever answers gives you a link with a canned response. "I did that crap already that's why I'm here." What part of "duh" are you missing.

A tour charter pilot and his passenger were flying around Puget Sound in has small Cessna 172 when the area rapidly became fogged in. They circled around above the fog, waiting for a break (the 172 was not instrumented, and was VFR (Visual Flight Rules) only). They were starting to run short of fuel, when a small break in the fog appeared, and through it, the pilot could see a high rise building with an office with the light on, an open window and someone working inside.
 
The pilot flew close to the building, pushed open the window on the 172 and yelled, "Where am I?"
 
The guy in the building yelled back, "In an airplane."
 
The pilot immediately executed a 90 degree turn to the left and began descent into Sea-Tac ATC (Air Traffic Control) space, who granted him emergency clearance for landing.
 
His passenger, quite amazed at the turn of events, asked the pilot how he knew what to do.
 
The pilot, "When I asked the guy where I was, he gave me a perfectly accurate, but completely useless answer. So I knew that was the Microsoft headquarters building. So I knew exactly where I was, and turned to Sea-Tac."

The networking thing was broken, intentionally, in W8, and the only version of it that worked was if you used the 64bit PRO version. You could reach the comp[uters via IP, but not via the Windows Protocol's resolution at all, and it was touch and go ... be there a minute, sleep a computer, and it won't be there an hour later.
 
Still an issue but it is better on W10, although I have to go to the other computer to see this one, for this one to "wakeup" and see that one ... kinda stupid ... but that's Microsoft ... and I think it is done so intentionally by them to make you get the professional services.

I don't believe this story for a minute.
(Nobody flies a 172 into Sea-Tac if they can help it unless they want to be run over by a heavy and, Seattle is ALWAYS a VFR area with it's usual weather: Misting, Just done misting or about to mist!)
