Has anyone tried isolating 10 from the web for a couple of months (as in a VM)? Would be nice to see if it complains. In a VM you could surf from within your host.

The solution is very simple : just use Linux as main OS and use Win10 only
in VirtualBox, as I do. This way you can use Windows only for some work
necessities and Linux for the rest.

It's the safest choice,  plus you can make snapshots of Virtual machines
just in case you need to recover something.

use, you'll have updates trickling on the whole time and there won't be
'line in the sand' service packs any more.

Well, I would be using the Pro version, so I'd have some control. But
MS spies on everything that's typed, makes it more difficult to
install some software (I prefer a custom HOSTS file, for example, and
a password manager that won't work with Edge browser, etc.) and would
prefer to have a lot more control of my environment, so I'm unlikely
to switch back to Windows as my primary OS, just use it for VFP and
some client work.

>From what I understand, from a marketing perspective, there will not
be something called "Service Pack 1" but that is a marketing message
and not the reality that there's going to be a mess of patches over
the first couple of months, and the idea that MS is saving up a big
batch of them cleanly integrated together plus some features that
didn't make the first release for a more carefully controlled release
*not called Service Pack One* just seems like good engineering
practices..
