Looks like 10 is getting a proper command line package manager like Linux has http://www.extremetech.com/computin...age-manager-much-to-the-lament-of-linux-users

Getting this when I exit a steam game
Are you on a Haswell chip?
And glad it's not just me. At least now I know it's 100% not my hardware.
It's so inconsistent thoigh.
I don't remember Windows having any sort of Package Manager in the past though. I tend to use Choclatey as it reminds me of using Linux, but if they add this to Windows then it's going to be interesting to know what happens with Choclatey as it'll essentially be the same thing.

I7 950 here, recently been clocking it to 4.2 so was wondering if it was that, or the new 14.9.2 beta`s.
Like a chump I did everything at the same time so will have to down clock and take it from there
It happens 100% with me.

Wow that package management looks promising, maybe my countless moan threads on technet about how terrible the gpo software deployment and msi packages are has finally got through 
Windows desktop perhaps, Windows Server is where I've used it...

How stable does everyone feel Windows 10 is right now? Despite the technical preview moniker I'm seriously tempted to use it for what will hopefully be a new build next month or at Christmas aimed at gaming. And personally I'd rather use my cash for the OS on hardware.

Well I have very few problems. The most annoying is that the control box on open windows has a tendency to disappear so applications have to be shut by right-clicking on the icon on the Task Bar. This happens with Thunderbird as well as IE and I have had it with Libre Office too.
Otherwise, everything works as it should and works faster too. What Steam games I have all work with the exception of GTA IV which I am still investigating. LA Noir which is based on using Games for Windows live, runs fine so I don't know what's wrong.

Rumour that W10 will be FREE for personal users...

I have no idea if this is accurate but it is interesting

Well done finding that! I reckon it will be cheap, like Windows 8 I paid £24 for, but not free.

Hmm good to hear, hopefully come next payday I will be using W10 for at least a time.

They don't seem to quote a source for this info, so far I was under the impression that a free upgrade was purely speculation.
i've not had any problems with win 10 so far. i'm using it now as os on my main rig with everything installed
Mary Jo Foley posted about this several months back. There isn't a concrete source.
Been using it on my main rig since release.
