What really pissed me off this time is that M$ thinks it can change settings for you without asking or telling you it is doing so.
I've got 6 computers running here counting my HTPC and laptop. I run Mint on 2 of them, 1 is a dual boot with Mint and 7, 2 run 7 since there are some things I do that are a major hassle to do in Linux.
My laptop runs a heavily tweaked 8 since it was impossible to find 7 drivers for the hardware-Thanks for nothing ASUS.
