<p>Don't worry Chris. I am a measly 5'10 and 80kgs. I do fight dirty though.</p>

Sorry what list? You mean the upgrade matrix they are using to stagger the release?<br><br>
I don't think that is documented, but I've found the backwards compatibility is great. I had to reinstall the JRE I was using to get an eclipse based tool working properly. <br><br>
But really, I just want to talk to my computer:) -

<p>That kind of list - thanks. I only have a few things poking around that are either windows-native (SourceTree, Sublime) or ridiculously <em>not</em> Windows (maven, ant, git)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway I tried to run the install but it hung on the "preparing" bit :mocking: so I'll give it another crack shortly. 2.7Gb is a little hefty for my poor old third-world DSL2.</p> -
<p>Yeah only definitive error I've seen listed is from a WIn7 upgrader - he said it got stuck somewhere but once he changed Locale to USA it was all good in his case.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If it goes smoothly with my near-new Win 8.1 notebook I'll consider updating the little netbook I bought 3 years ago as well. It runs 64-bit Win 7 and its clunky. If that's good, the wife's machine is next.</p> -

<p>I find it extraordinarily hard to believe the last bit! :)</p>

<p>Boxing weight divisions are fucked in developed countries as people have got bigger. If you fine down a little bit you can fight as a light heavyweight - I'm a super middleweight (with a large burger and fries I'll be light heavyweight), but with a reach advantage and, according to Tim, allowed a zimmer-frame to whack you with and then an "Uh, uh, uh...you can't hit old people..." :)</p> -
<p>Standard windows with no colour on them shits me - hard to tell quickly which one has focus, which is especially troublesome in a multi-screen environment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I went and found a fix.</p>

<p>Also once you've upgraded, make sure Windows Update runs and <em>then</em> get onto your device providers and make sure all their shit is up to date.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For some reason the Intel graphics drivers didn't come through on Windows Update so I had to go get them from Intel website directly after a couple of BSODs</p> -
<p>Just had to uninstall and reinstall sound drivers. MS telling me I already had the latest. Ahh, no...</p>

But the drivers do exist - I got them from Intel direct using their driver update software. So if Windows update isn't listing them, who is to blame? -
<p>The 15.33.x release from Intel was listed as first week July - latest (15.40.x) is first week August, if I'm reading my backwards American dates correctly</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Neither was available.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So makes sense I guess if they're working on ~4 week turnaround.</p> -

It's the Lenovo [s]Surface Pro[/s] Ideapad Miix 700.</p> -
<p>Jeez that's pretty skinny. Still has actual ports on it though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I saw someone's Macbook Pro 12 the other day - its tiny, but then you have to carry around a dongle to do anything with it besides drink ethical mocha frappachino shots in the wankiest cafe you can find while looking at neckbeard websites on it through your glassless glasses.</p>
