The Good, The Bad and The Worst in Windows 10

Hello Folks!!

Ill start with a big thanks to microsoft for letting us have windows 10 for free and immidietly after its release. Since I believe I am one of the earliest users of this OS and there aint much info ATM about win10 out there, i decided to do this post and share my experience so far with this new beast.

Let me first mention the the part which i have hated badly fo far, the part whch i really really hate and wish that MS fixes it soon, coz apart from that i am kindda loving this OS. Why on earth do you force updates download. Your product is also being used in places where bandwidth is pretty precious and we cant have MS keep download useles updates in the back ground when we have some serious work to attend to. Yes folks in Windows 10 MicroSoft has forced windows updates to be automatically download without even an option to delay it. So when Windows 10 wants to get updated you have no say in that. you might be in the middle of sending a really important email wth a few attachments over a limited bandwidth connection whch has to be sent now, but no you cant send it unles you first download a 500 MB update. It awfully PATHETIC PEROID.
Micro Soft please, please fix this ASAP.

Ok now coming to the best part, they have finally put in the sart button back, and it looks good, works good , provides all useful features. and the horrible fullscreen version in windows has been trashed, Kudos Windows 10.

Now some other good parts
Cortana looks good except that i dont know how much RAM it eats sitting there, what is the use of her is still not clear to me. I hope that it hasnt been added just as an imitaion of google now and Siri.

Overall the UI  is quite intutive. I can even play candy crush on PC now, but hey wheres the oldy Solitair havent found it yet, (but havent been looking for it either)

The summary: Ill give windows 10 a rating of 7 / 10

PS I also hate the new settings in windows 10.

Peace

Interesting incidents during internship

In this post Ill share some of the intresting things which happened with me during my internship.
Ill start with the first day I entered into the premises of the BMC Software, Pune. I was staying with Mr Amit as until than I had no room. I came with him to the company riding on his motor bike. Pune is a big city but the system of public transport is absolutely a mess. If you want to travel a distance of 4-5 km on public buses do not expect to reach there in less than an hour. So almost every one except students who can afford their own vehicle everyone travels on his own vehicle. Most of the people driving have no traffic sense either so you have to be extra careful while driving. 
Sorry I was supposed to talk about my day in the company. Right?
Well we reached there its an nine floor plush building and to be honest I had never been into a software industry before. We walked to the reception, Mr Amit arranged a visitors pass for me and took me to the eight floor. I waited for him to arrange me a meeting with Manager in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is just cool. There are cafe coffee days coffee vending machines, Pepsi, other drinks, snacks available for free. Also for the guest.
I waited there until Mr Amit returned and took me to meet the manager. He made me sign the internship deal with terms and condition in there and asked me to read it carefully as its always asked but nobody cares  to read it. I too signed it without bother what it read.
