Hello Joseph,
This is no surprise, after all your wonderful presentation of Windows 10 on Tek Talk recently. I have just finished listening to the podcast. Excellent. Thank you.

You can select between 5 seconds to 5 minutes (I may need to send a feedback regarding this control, as there is a delay when changing them). Cheers, Joseph P.S.

Once this appears, it'll go away after a few seconds, and you can actually interact with it by pressing Windows+V while it is shown. You can ignore them, and if you do, they'll live in Action Center until you clear them all (pressing Windows+A will open Action Center). Hope this helps. Cheers, Joseph

So josef, if they don't have help balloons anymore but windows, then does that mean that I will get a pop up window when something happens wich I must dismiss?

Hi Brad,
Well, I suppose you could upgrade to Windows10, & ask Cortana how you would benefit from the upgrade! LOL, hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL Take care.

Oh, I still have my good working Windows machine. I upgraded another one I used when I had to fix my normal working machine. I totally understand, Brad!

Thanks for that. I'm not sure I see the usefulness in that. If I wanted to have separate somethings, I'd just create a second user account so I could have separate documents folders, downloads, etc. Still not convinced I need this. I may buy a cheap refurb so I can play with Windows 10 when I get bored, but as far as working my good Windows 7 machine over as an experiment? "Ain't nobody got time for that." LOL.

Brad,
One other feature Windows 10 introduces is virtual desktops. I have not yet
tried it out, but if I understand correctly, you could, for instance, have separate desktops for work and personal data. I guess this feature is intended to help users become and stay organized. I don't know, however, if
it is accessible.
Michal

Hi,
I've been following all this Windows 10 stuff with great interest, and I just have a question (with a lot of background first):
So FS says you shouldn't use Edge, you should use Firefox or IE. (I'm doing
that now in Windows 7.) You can't use the built in mail program; you should
use something like Thunderbird or Outlook. (I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) And you should use Adobe Reader for PDF documents. (I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) Reviews I've read all seem to indicate that Cortana is iffy at best.
So why should I upgrade again? I'm not being smart; I'd really like to know
if I'm going to gain anything other than having a new operating system that
I have to use in the same old ways. The only benefit I can see is that Windows 10 will be supported beyond January of 2020, where Windows 7 will not. Am I overlooking some wonderful new feature that should cause me to want to hurry and upgrade? Or does the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't
fix it," apply here? I'd really honestly like to know if JAWS users in particular are finding anything beneficial in the upgrade, or if it's just something fun to do to your functioning computer to see if it will still function.
P.S. Anybody on this list from Louisiana and thinking Cortana, as in mall? -- Brad Martin brad@formyfriends.org <mailto:brad@formyfriends.org> My Facebook page where
