I am a Microsoft enthusiast, but, it seems that with all the great items that are available, if you are not the current consumer...you are left behind? My WP7.8 phone is great...but I only hear of new capabilities/opportunities for WP8. I have not heard of iPhone users who are not on iPhone 5 NOT being able to use apps and most functionalities? Zune.net v XBox live? It just feels that Zune.net is not really getting any attention. However, all you are left with if you have not adopted a full-fledged W8 computer...not a converted W7 computer, IS Zune.net.

I've had Windows 8 since the day it was released. Just yesterday I purchased Windows Media player online for $10. Ever since that every time I turn on my computer it says something about "Windows activation is ready" and I don't even know what it is.

First I would like to know what this "Windows Activation" is, and why it is not working? View this thread

This is highly irratiating to have to reenter each user name and password when HP simple pass took care of this. Is my only option to uninstall explorer 10? View this thread

Ok, so I have tried literally 100 times to install Windows Service Pack 1 (KB976932). I have Windows 7 Home Premium. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/441/capturedoa.png/ ( if the photo looks choopy click it to enlarge) As you can see I DO NOT have anything telling me what type of service pack I have installed onto my computer. I do not know why there isn't anything showing there. I did talk to tech support and they told me that my computert is customed (I wasn't aware of this. I bought it when I was 16). It's driver's and such are manufactured by Toshiba and Intel. So I decided not to take the risk of upgrading my drivers.Simpky cause I do not know what I am do…

So it keeps succesfully install the same two updates. Here is what i tried: Followed the guide: http://www.ehow.com/how_6077204_stop-microsoft-updates-caught-loop.html Followed the guide: Close and exit any open work documents or program windows you opened. 1a. Open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [ignore the title &amp Symptoms]. 1b. Dismiss/close the "automated troubleshooter" pop-up! - then... 1c. Ignoring any "Not recommended" or similar warnings, run Fix It 50202 in DEFAULT and then AGGRESSIVE modes. [1] 2. Reboot &amp then run a manual check for updates at Windows Update, etc., etc...When you reach …
