I reckon PB's a strong tea type of person, leaving the tea bag in as long as possible. In fact he'll ask for the bag to be left in as the cup's brought to his desk and remove it when it's sufficiently brewed with his fingers. Or the top end of a biro if it's still too hot. It'll be served in a cylindrical cup (not one of those tapered cone like nonsenses) and have a handle that can comfortably contain three fingers, for when the cup's full and heavier, and still feels comfortable with two fingers when he's getting to the dregs.
I have a cup that I keep meaning to bring to work. At the moment I have a very generic 'Searches UK' mug that I found in the kitchen here, after smashing my other one into the server room door in a fit of clumsiness.
It's got our town's clock tower on on side, and the moon on the other. I'll try and find a pic...
I'm kind of used to my 8.1 at this point. Think I'll stick with it a while. I prefer to give them some time. Time to work out at least the bulk of the inevitable bugs their new versions always seem to come equipped with when first released.
I'm happy with 7 for all my Video Editing and Gaming needs.
Probably won't get 10 unless/until I get a new machine, which will probably be a couple of years from now.
When people used to ask if I wanted a tea or a coffee I'd ask for coffee, black with no sugar. No way they could mess it up (too milky or too sweet) then.
And it would taste as foul no matter how much coffee was put in.
Having tried out all the preview builds on a spare laptop here, I think I'll wait for MS to finish Windows 10 properly before I use it. The final RC was still very messy, certainly to the level that I highly doubted all the bugs and inconsistencies would be fixed before release (just not enough time left). Basically, my findings very much mirrored These.
Also, El Reg has had numerous articles up lately about bugs, crashes and other such issues, so I reckon I'll wait a bit until 10.1 comes along and Microsoft actually fix it. At the moment, I just can't help feeling that they'd committed so much to this release date that they found it preferable to release an unfinished product, rather than push the date back by a month or so...
