I find temperature to be a greater determinant of speed of tea drinking.

I had to explain to a number of adults the other day that a long Island iced tea didn't contain iced tea.

At least there isn't much scope for toppings...

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.

It'll probably have a picture of a horse on it.

I like my tea strong with not too much milk, no sugar.

I have a Winnie-the-Pooh mug at work. It's quite small and says Bee Happy all over it. It was a spare one when I started 2 years ago.

I'd also like a teapot at my desk so I could pour a couple of brews, but that would mean having milk at the desk too.

Teapot sounds ace.

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.

Yeah, or some sort of ravenous stoat. I just imagined an animal on there.

Conceits aside, I bet I'm right about the handle.

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...

Welcome to the world of software development. You never release a final product, even before The Internet, this never happened. Someone somewhere who has control of the purse strings will tell you enough is enough.

As it is, it was probably already pushed back several times already, considering it was supposed to be an updated to Windows 8 originally.

With The Internet being as ubiquitous as it is now, releasing software on shorter release cycles is definitely a good thing. And Microsoft have already said this is what they are doing now and there will be an SR1/10.1 for Windows 10 before end of this year.

I find it a mixed thing. For smaller apps, no big deal. But for something as key as an OS, it seems as if a lot of the care and consideration has been dropped recently. There's no need any more to carefully design something when you can just shove any old rubbish out the door and keep changing it and modifying it every 5 seconds.

This is one of the reasons I ditched Firefox as a browser. Their rapid release cycle meant that they were constantly removing features, shifting things around, breaking things and forcing me to have to keep tweaking my add-on list to fix things back again. I got sick of opening my browser and finding that it wasn't working properly any more and needed tweaking back into shape every couple of months.

With Windows 10 being basically released when it's clearly not properly finished, we're in this situation again. Sorry, but I prefer the old-school way of thinking where a team carefully designed something that's coherent and well designed (ie, Windows 7), rather than just rushing out a buggy, confusing and incomplete pile of shite and thinking "It's OK, we can just fix it later".

Not saying Windows 10 is shite mind you, and I also appreciate that post-release bugs and issues arise in all products, but Windows 10 definitely could have benefited from being finished properly before being released...
