> That does not make much sense, if any. All I can say is they hadn't been installed. When I went to WU, 'Windows 10 Pro' was ticked under optional updates and all the critical updates for W7 were unticked. The machine has always updated automatically just fine in previous months. > And you aren't cringing at Google Now/Google Drive/Chrome? Why? Well, it's just what I see, but I think Googles strongholds are still search, Gmail and Maps. If all the Google apps (Play Services etc) disappeared on Android overnight I honestly think most people I know would only miss Maps. I've never seen a friend use Drive, occasionally Docs (but never for serious work) and certainly not Now. Also, I'd say it's 50/50 between my friends whether they use FF or Chrome... but everyone I know uses Windows. Windows 10 of course resets your default browser. Plus the fact, Google are terrible at pushing and supporting consumer facing products. Imho they haven't really had Joe Public feverishly interested in anything since their Chrome launch campaign in 2008 and, before that, Gmail in 2004. They're not a software or hardware company and, save for flirting with Motorola, have never made any persistent indications that they intend to be.
