In the last month or two I've read that M$ has shutoff the download of iso |
| 20 |
files. When I went through my update this week I was forced (but not |
| 21 |
bothered) to run their exe file that creates a bootable USB drive. I |
| 22 |
wondered at the time how people who aren't currently running Windows would |
| 23 |
do that but it didn't effect my needs. Possibly that's more robust for you |
| 24 |
with your ADSL? |
| 25 |

As for the M$ account I already had one so I just logged in and let it |
| 27 |
happen as the alternative was to be stuck with a non-updateable Win 7 |
| 28 |
machine running Native Instruments products and sooner (rather than later) |
| 29 |
vendors like NI won't support Win 7 anymore and my investment in electronic |
| 30 |
music apps would sunset which I'm not willing to have happen yet. There are |
| 31 |
3 machines in my setup, 2 Kubuntu and (now) a Win 10. Mixbus32C (based on |
| 32 |
Ardour but completely rebuilt and supported by Harrison Consoles) running |
| 33 |
on Kubuntu is a great DAW for the more old-school audio recording I like to |
| 34 |
do. |
