Thanks everyone for your recommendations on books for me to read, I'll
report back (in about 5 years when I've read em all) 

 

on another matter, I've been meaning to go around all my customer PCs
(50-60) and where necessary (non Domain PCs) inhibit the increasingly
annoying Windows 10 upgrade messages.  They are getting increasingly
difficult to ignore and get rid of and I've had a couple of people upgrade
without meaning to, just as I'm about to go on holiday - damn I hate
Microsoft!.  10 is a perfectly good product on modern PCs with no special
software or weird settings, but in many cases isn't appropriate for older
PCs, especially where people have shelled out recently to move from Windows
XP to Windows 7.

 

Previously I've had some registry entries to import that stops the messages
and the pre-emptive download and important update message etc. etc.  However
the excellent Mr Steve Gibson has written a nice little program that does it
in a thrice, so for anyone suffering who doesn't want to upgrade here is a
link;

as far as I can tell it's legit and does nothing other than that listed on
the tin, but comes with no warranty from me!
