Most Popular Complaint about Microsoft
I have a bunch of complaints. In 2013 I padi $149 for MS tech support. Out of 5 issues, MS solved ONE problem. When I again asked about the other 4 problems, I was told, "I don't know." WHAT?! And so I had to go out and solve the other 4 on my own. I solved 3 out of 4 problems. I could never find a solution for the 1 and ended up reinstalling windows. $149 down the drain. And do you know HOW they solved the one problem? They dared to have remote access on my computer and go to tweaking.com and install their software to fix my computer. I could have installed and ran the toolbox and/or installed Windows for FREE!!! Another problem: The Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 keyboard and mouse combo was the BEST combo they ever made and they quit selling it! Yet they still sell the 4000, which is WIRED. I want wireless for my living room. On top of that they created the sculpt for sale, which looks like they took a thin layer off the old 7000. There's no zoom switch, program hotkeys and so on.
Anytime Upgrades: They no longer offer you to buy a disc for reinstallation, and we all know with Microsoft Windows that IS going to happen down the road. System Restore: It's SO flawed that even MS Tech Support told me to turn it off to save space and memory. In Europe, it's banned for MS to include proprietary Internet Explorer and security software (Defender/Firewall) but we have to still suffer with all the bloatware. MS Community is full of voolunteers but it's getting to where it's going downhill. Either you get a generic answer or you get NO answer at all. IF you tell them you tried that, they no longer offer any other solutions. I still have my 2nd older laptop and I am going to send it to "Linux World". Not even going to bother reinstalling Windows on it. And when Windows 7 support dies, I should understand Linux enough to switch this one over by then too.

i recently had to upgrade my computer i had it formatted new motherboard cpu and all the good stuff and instead of windows 7 32 i got a new disk of windows 7 64 bit after much frustration to get my copy fixed and install proper drivers this morning i got a update which i found when i had to do a systems restore due to a black screen of death caused by something and since it worked before the update i'm assuming that was the issue so if your update is the culprate please fix it because you'll get a very unpolite phone call from me and i'm very patient but if this does it again wont happen and since who ever gets this message is not the causer of the issue i wont be mad at you personally and hope you don't see it that way, have a nice day.

Did Microsoft provide poor service? Yes or NoDoes anyone else want to file a class action lawsuit against Microsoft for their continual lack of services. I feel I have a lawsuit all by myself since the product that was purchased for me Surface Pro almonst burned my leg and when it was this hot it cracked the screen and Microsoft will not take responsibility for it. They have lead me on since 2/7/15 with we will help you until today now they say they can't help me. This production cast $900 out of my familys pocket for a christmas gift and I have not been able to use it. I have several claim ticket numbers I just want someone else join in with me.
I was sold a Microsoft Assure package for $158 and when I tried to get help for an issue I was having with Access 2013, I was told it was a commercial product and would cost me $400 for a contract. I had specifically told the Microsoft people I used Access and was having some issues with it when I bought Assure. No problem, they said! On top of everything, I got cut off my phone conversation after calling and being put on hold (about 30 minutes of wasted time). Microsoft if a bully and some of their products are VERY unstable. Going to try to get my money back, since the Assure package is useless!
Something happened during the Office 365 renewal/update process for Outlook. All of my email accounts stopped working after the update I did not change any settings or do anything. The problem is entirely attributable to Microsoft. Called tech support. Got India on the line. Went through 5 very polite but totally incompetent individuals who kept asking and re-asking questions as a PREMLIMINARY step to get to tech support. Got to support technician after 45 minutes. Answer: Call your email service provider (AOL). So Microsoft causes the problem and your tech support is so incompetent they are unable to diagnose or fix it. Total waste of my time.
Service Call
Office 365 Home
Case number 8664253959
New case number: 1281053781
Still trying to fix something your company caused. Plus the Indian accent is impossible to understand. Adds 50% to the call time. You are not saving any money.
to who it may concern. since nov 18 2014 to feb 17 2015 I have had 84 visa debits from Microsoft *billing-a north ryde totaling approx $6000.00 which has left my account well into the red and unable to pay rent or buy food, petrol not to mention all the other expenses of a large family. I do not have any money coming in until march, this has left my whole family deeply distressed. the only thing that we have purchased with the debit card from Microsoft was an xbox gold account for my two boys, they have no access to my debit card or the password needed to access my account. I need to know urgently why this has happened. is it a case of fraud?. I look forward to your prompt reply.
Ok so recently updated my Nokia Lumia 520 to Windows 8.1 and it sucks. First off my games used to be separate,but now its in my main menu. Second, they made apps for the photos, music and videos. Wtf ??? Third They put a lot of extra crappy apps on which no one actually uses like storage sense which only slows the phone. Fourth, no file manager or file directory, so I can't do shit with it. And last but not least, the updates keep failing. I can't update apps because it keeps failing.
I received a microsoft surfuce pr on december 27, 2014. I reported the screen crack and the heat of the deivce within 2 weeks of having this product. I have asked so many time where do I mail it back so it can get fixed. I have so many emails from them and they are not doing anything. I truly would like to file a lawsuit agaist this company for customer abuse. This company has not made one effort to follow through with any customer service. This devise is so hot that it almost burned my leg and they did not respond. I need to know what I can do to file a lawsuit against the no response, no care microsoft Inc. This is insane. I try everyday and the email address or phone numbers change. Please help me. My family got this for me because I have breast cancer and it was easier to use during treatment.
I have so fat spent more than 3500 Nigeria naira on internet data and phone calls to Microsoft support to enable me pay for the full version.even the the Nigeria Microsoft office customer care could not help me.I am begging to pay and get the 25 digit key.can some one help me.I tried pretending to be a south African,no way.I want to pay online using my master card.
Dear Sirs,
I bought Japanese language pack form Microsoft sore on line.
My computer went down and I needed to re-install this software, but I could not.
If you buy on line, no product key is supplied, and I can not down load again.
I called maybe over 10 times to Technical support, nobody can help me.
Accordingly, I ended up to purchase Japanese Langage pack again and install.
First, why you do not supply Product key number if I buy on line?
Why your tech support people do not know how to download this software without Product key since Microsoft did not supply it?
If I have same problem, how can I solve this problem and I can download without calling you many many times and wothout product key?
This problem happened 3 times alraeay, and I ended up to purchsase same software 3 times.

ok, on chirstmasi got a brand new computer. later that day on the phone with someone I was dirrected to by microsoft web site. guy said 399.99 well fix and you wont have problems again. later changed his price 149.99 will be a temporary fix. later sliding it down to 59.99...
sigh, I have a recipt. said I was thinking about returning it. the guy at tech gurus certified microsoft tech said I should just pay him, because that computer would have problems too, and restoring factory defaults, even reinstaling windows came up with the same problems...
sigh, this seems so wrong on so many levels. anyway. guessing the guy's spouting some BS to get my money. how many people acctually let them extort them for money. fact the indian fellow isn't in country only ticked me off more..
outsourcing makes us venerable, perpetuates ignorance in our country sending our money needlessly over seas. ok, profit. i understand. but screwing over your consumers is not a good bussniess model.
anyway.. I plan to take the machine back tomorrow. get the money for it, and be far more reluctant to pay for another system prone to illness, so I would have to deal with jackles. hey! don't let this slide. I am pissed. I might have all the tech sense of a caveman, however, cavemen don't own computers. maybe I shouldn't. maybe I see evil in a companies practice.
my brand new computer was suposed to be internet protected for 30 days. lies! I fail to see why I shed money for a weak product. that protection even virus protection isn't included. I don't know. seems all the places I scream wants a price tag.. careful, of where you make people turn. systems been back in the box all day. plan to return it tomorrow..
and whats the deal with them saying.. oh, that new computer would have the same problems... fishy to say the least. as is his sliding scale to "fix" my computer...
I received a call on my landline earlier today from a person who claimed to work for Windows Technical Care but I was unable to verify that he was indeed from Microsoft. He gave his name as Peter Stephenson and he just didn't sound like a Peter Stephenson and he said that he was calling me as a result of Windows Technical Care getting a lot of warnings that my computer with my IP Address was receiving a lot of junk malicious ware. He wanted me to log on to my computer so that he could show me how to fix my hard drive problems.
I was not prepared to log on to my computer or give any information until he verified his identity and he said that he was calling from a number from the United States and the number was 1209 227 6966.
I asked for an Australian contact number for me to call to verify his status and he said that I was asking too many questions that he could not answer and he hung up. My number is a private number so I am not sure where he got my number from and if indeed he works for Windows Technical Care and if not what can be done to track this call that was made to my number which I am not going to provide here until I know that this matter is going to be looked into either by Microsoft or Telstra my service provider.
I use an adult chat room named eroprofile. it has a feature in which the user can check a box labeled 'automatically view cams'. this opens up 3 web live cam feeds from other users. Ie10 is not allowing that. I can use Google chrome, and the problem goes away. I can use foxfire (firefox? Mozilla) and the problem goes away. ie10 problem stays.
I used to have to trouble with my previous windows and ie applications.
have you forgotten a link, that would make this work?
I would prefer using ie10 as my browser for all uses, but this problem is keeping me from doing that.
Please help.
Black ops 2 has had some minor glitches that I'm ok about but I've been DE-ranked twice, and both times an Error message came up saying that the persistent rank data for my account has been corrupted and that my rank has been restored to the latest rank stored back up, well it put me 7 levels down from52 to 45. So i would really like if you guy at Microsoft could fix this and restore me back to my former level.
Bought a new laptop, has Windows 8 on it. Windows 8 is the most confusing, non-friendly OS I have ever come into contact with! ALSO does not have any Office or Word or anything! Wanna throw it out the window! Can it unload 8 and install 7?
On February 7, 2013, tahe company I represent told me they were not receiving e-mails from my company e-mail email@example.com. I contacted Microsoft and was given a number to call--800-642-7676. I reached a man named Bhavya Mahajan. He assigned me a case number which is 1196056728. He asked if he could take control of my computer and I agreed. After about a half hour, he had corrected the problem. I was very happy with his service.
When I came home from work on Friday evening, Feb. 8 at about 6:30PM , I decided to catch up with some friends and customers whose contact information was in my Microsoft Office Small Business program. To my horror, there were no contacts in Business Contact Manager. I immediately called the number I had been given listed above. After almost 5 hours and 8 people later, the problem was solved. They all asked me for my case number which I would assume described the problem but none of them were prepared to handle the issue. What amazed me was when someone told me that the product I was using to manage contacts (Microsoft Office Small Business 2007) for which I paid $280.00 shortly after I bought my Toshiba laptop in 2008, is not supported by Microsoft!
I want this issue corrected and my business contacts and accounts restored. I will be unavailble for the balance of today but will be available all day tomorrow. You may call me at 530-545-0858 or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Sincerely, Michael Fitzpatrick
I purchased Microsoft 7 in too much haste and requested a refund on 15 Sep 2012. The request was approved and I was notified on 18 Sep that the refund would be implemented within 5 business days. It is now over 25 business days and the funds have still not found their way into my account (unless they have and have escaped notice). I have made several phone calls to Microsoftstore. They have promised to escalation the refund without success. The following case numbers were quoted to me during these phone calls: SR11884251123, 1185517436, 1185647199, and 1185517436. What is the problem completing the refund? I cannot believe Microsoft is struggling to finalise this. Please action this and let me know when the funds have been returned.
Although I am grateful to have received updates in e-mails, my computer cannot access the above and I know I am missing an update. When I upgraded to Outlook from Hotmail, it worked for a while. I am annoyed as if I have to take my computer to be mended, I will charge the money to Microsoft and it will be strange if it works when connected to another network.
Thank you for your time.

WL Messenger has always been TOP DOG of the chatting vehicles. The chatting ability of SKYPE sucks the big-one and I am resentful that Microsoft would stoop so low as to suggest that for a replacement. SKYPE SUCKS!!! I will go to YAHOO MESSENGER or any other messenger before I stoop so low as to use the simplistic illiterate excuse for a chat in SKYPE! PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER!!! THERE IS NO VALID SUBSTITUTE FOR THE BEST!!!
I went on your website and had to regiaster my xbox product, and join the microsoft website just to learn that my xbox isn't covered by your warrenty for "thjis type" of problem. Which just so happens to be a very common problem, probably the most common problem with the console. So it amuses me that Microsoft wont look after their consumers in this way. This is why more and more people are looking for a better console everyday, because of Microsofts dont care attitude to the people that matter most. Its a common issue with the coinsole, Microsoft know all about. And the Xbox community is huge. Word does get around, and people do get pissed off. One day microsoft will be boycotted. Just a matter of time really. I bought a brand new game for this console which has trouble reading discs. Brand new. And the xbox chewed it to bits. Red ring fever they call it. Well thats the last time I buy one of your products. Many of my mates are shocked by this. And they're thinking twice about your products too. This needs to be addressed.
Microsoft cancelled the only good and affordable deal they have offered for their over priced online gaming (the xbox live family gold pass). In a world where PS3 has free online gaming I do not understand why they would decide to further , for lack of a better word, stick it to their loyal consumers. If something is not done soon I will be taking my business to Sony. Thanks for the appreciation Microsoft.
My hotmail live account was blocked by micorsoft yesterday under the pretext that someone else was using it. Indeed I have authorised another person access to my account but that is my private decision! I have entered all necesary data (alternate e-mail account, secret question, e-mails of contacts, folders, subject) all I can remember but the account is still blocked!
Since last night European time I keep being told I have to get back in 24 hours time. Does microsoft understand that I access my hotmail account from different computers (I have 3) registered/purchased in different countries, that I travel and do not sit in the same place?! I cannot even ask for support on the standard support page/forum since for that I need to enter my hotmail password and it is refused.
There isn't even an e-mail of microsoft that I can write to. This is outrageous as I no longer have access to my contact list, people are unable to contact me, precious documents are lost.
I had a live account and got message someone else might be useing it so opened a outlook account on my Mobil as I am away getting married when I go to the recovery page I get a secruity message saying this site is not trusted why is that when it is one of your sites and now I get error 500 server cannot be found I have now lost a lot of info and personal messages and possible buisness over this so what you going to do about this farce
I am forever updating my microsoft xp
Every time I finish using my computer, you are always requesting me to update
Even when I click to ignore the update, you still carry out the update
I am sick of the sight of you asking me to update my windows
This makes me want to go out and buy a Apple Mac!
All these updates cost me and my electricity bill! Who has to pay this? Me!
I understand why we need to update our software but in recent months your just taking the piss
I would like a full response as this causes me inconvenience and money!
I am sending you a complaint about your wonderful idea of a windows update, when on a windows machine, it need electricity from the mains to power it in order to make these updates, why on earth would you create the updates to update when you want the computer to turn off and then give the message 'please do not turn power off', have you ever thought of power cuts?! Well I thank you for being idiotic and doing the update that way, because now my computer is bust. Microsoft is rubbish and I am glad that I turned to Apple soon.
In a recent set of Windows updates, most of which were fixing security bugs that Microsoft's slipshod programming engendered, users are being denied access to their Word 2003 documents. This company wants users to upgrade to Microsoft Word 2010. Now when I try to load a .doc file created with Microsoft Word 2003, a notice appears with the false statement that only Microsoft Word 2010 can process this file. The system refuses to use Microsoft Word 2003 anymore. So I had to restore my computer to an earlier state to remove the malicious Microsoft program that is trying to blackmail me into buying their upgraded (but not improved) word processor.
I have been on phone with Microsoft for 6 hours - only to be transferred from department to department disconnected and retransferred all over again, only to be told that even though when you buy a microsoft software program with a 90 FREE support, that basically it is not their problem it is the problem of Best Buy where I purchased it and to take it back to them and they will JUST TRADE ME out of the software and GIVE me the correct one.
NO, Best Buy will not do that except for another $199.00..................... The only software product in my computer is MICROSOFT!!!!
Why can't Microsoft help me? I need my Outlook 2007 Back!!!!

The good news is I still have a Hotmail Account. the bad news is every time I open it i get the above silly message then have to click on to live.com to get into my Hotmail account. I resent this interference. I think I am being pressurised to switch to some new system . I am perfectly happy with the Hotmail system I've known for yeasr, despite the fact that they messed about with the format recently for no better purpose as far as I can see than as part of some cunning plan to detatch customer loyalty from Hotmail. It's just the same with Google - all this pressure to sign up to Google Chrome. I don't Google getting its hands on more personal data of mine just to try and sell me stuff, which is what this is all about. I am perfectly capable of making consumer choices for myself and hate this "big brother " approach they try on with everyone. So what can I do to get rid of these silly messages and continue with Hotmail as I was before? And if anyone tells me it's to improve the quality of our service to you or any of that bilge I shall scream!
I have owned an x box & played all the games since it came out including all of the COD & BO games.
I'm a recently retired combat vet & I played black ops 2 & enjoyed it a great deal & was going out today to buy a new copy for myself.
I have discovered that the same "aimbot" that ruined online play for so many gamers had just been released today & online gaming sucks dick yet again because you all haven't prevented it, or patched those cheating shit bags out of play.
just like the last 2 that came out BO & COD 3.
my friend & quite a few others,13 to count, that I know are telling me it's ruined because of the aimbot being introduced again & they are trading in the game cuzz they are extremely disappointed & pissed.
I for one hope that you as a reputable company will address the major issue & tend to the cheating basterds that can't play with any skill & hack the game to their benefit because they have no skill.
Fix the issue & or kick off xbox live the turds that have the aimbot so the rest of us serious gamers can get & play online again.
Sincerely a real mother fucker & disappointed serious gamer.
I am writing to express my confusion as to why Microsoft feels the need to "FORCE" it's exsisting Hotmail customers to "SWITCH" to a NEW email service, "Outlook."
For months now, I have been "TORTURED" with "BLUE BOXES" appearing on both left and right sides of my hotmail page, showing the 'WONDERFUL' advantages of using Outlook. While some may see this as a "necessary evil" I WILL CLOSE my account and MOVE ON to another email provider altogether if I am not allowed to continue to use my exsisiting Hotmail account.
I WILL NOT be "FORCED" or "REQUIRED" to use a 'DIFFERENT' email program just because Microsoft has decided arbitrarily to MAKE customers USE OUTLOOK !!!
I am happy with my Hotmail account, and if allowed to keep it, I will use it, but if this DECISION to FORCE me to switch to OUTLOOK is NOT REVERSED, I will become a "FORMER CUSTOMER" and will NEVER again have any use for Microsoft. I will become their WORST critic and I will SCRUTINIZE every move in the future !
Please RE-THINK this BAD IDEA of SWITCHING PEOPLE from the email service they have used and are familiar with.

Windows security updates have interfered with my ability to use my computer for more than a year. I am FED UP with it. How can I stop Windows from using all of my on-line time to update itself? I am paying for my own use of my internet service - not for Windows to use it to update itself to the point that I cannot access my internet service. What is the point of having internet service if Windows security hogs my internet service line and my machine????????
Thanks for your feedback!

No dishes in the room asked never received them
It was a peaceful stay an I will be back soon
Everything was good
The view from the seventh floor was wonderful, we were able to see the Minneapolis skyline and the Earle Brown Heritage Center. The trees were just starting to turn and it was simply beautiful. The sound proofing was incredible. There were 200 hockey students staying the same weekend we were there, with some in the room next to us and we did not hear a peep from them when in our rooms. Could sometimes hear them when in the hallway, which didn't bother us at all, after all, they are kids. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of fresh food, which could not have been easy as the hotel was booked, on top of those 200 hockey students. Overall a great experience and we think we have found our "home" away from home when we go to Minneapolis to visit family.
Very nice rooms,clean, solid breakfast
Quiet, convenient location.
Room not ready when we arrived at 1 pm, told to come back a hour later. Came back one hour later and waited at the front desk for 25 minutes for the front desk clerk to come back. Sign on desk said, "helping a guest, be back soon" Really, leave the front desk unattended for that long!. Also, 4 person in room, 2 adults, 2 kids, only towels for 3. So much for their "Strive for 5*" motto on everyone's uniform. Left two messages on manager's voice mail, no call back.
Lot of space in the room
My sink get stopped up
Great beds; amenities; friendly, helpful staff. Very clean and decorated nicely.
Clean, close to many restaurants, staff was friendly.
FYI Fan didn't work in bathroom. Shower faucet didn't seem to be out on straight. Took both of us a while to get water temp right, almost as if the hot and cold water was hooked up backwards. Started out really hot and took awhile to get cool.
The food at Axel's was delicious. Rooms were clean and staff was very accomodating.
If I didn't have earplugs, I probably would have heard more than I would have liked late at night from the guests that were returning to their rooms after some celebration. May want to request room away from any blocks of rooms set aside for event goers.
Hotel staff was very friendly.
Beds were sleep comfort and very uncomfortable.
We enjoyed the breakfast, especially the waffles. They did give us a different room when the first one smelled so bad with smoke.
It was very run down. The picture on the tv was green, and the heat didn't work.
Clean and correct. Adequate breakfast. Easy to find with GPS. quiet. nice nearby Indian restaurant with good value lunch buffet. Pizza restaurant was friendly and gave good sense of the neighborhood - good for people who like experiential over the bland
Seemed half residential, as opposed to traveler clientele. A bit far out from downtown at rush hour.
Fitness room was very good.
The hotel is currently under remodel. It was a bit messy and I had to navigate around workers.
Comfortable beds and pillows
Rooms were a bit small
The size of the room is generous with multiple places to sit.
The furniture was more than adequate, but starting to look a little old. Breakfast had a lot of variety, but nothing I tried was better than fair.
The room was large enough for all of us.
The room was a little chilly. seemed hard to get it warm without getting to hot
The Bedrooms look old, not very modern or nice not very quiet, trucks were outside our window in the morning
Beautiful and comfortable accommodations.
Nothing. It was very nice.
The employees were amazing.
I liked everything about my stay.
Comfortable room and very clean. Breakfast was good too.
It's farily pedestrian friendly, though not for lovely walking. But the walking trails are well kept. The staff is great. Rooms are comfortable and neat. It's a handy in and out to the highway.
It's in a business park area. I prefer a neighborhood location, but it is very handy to highways. I had troble opening the window. I think I stayed there once in summer and the windows wouldn't open. This is a major drawback for me. The back entrance was very smoky. I mentioned this to the front desk and they said they were aware and were trying to find the smoker. (I met one man smoking there on my way out so hopefully he was the only one.) The rest of the hotel was Aprl fresh though.

The discussion of what's fun and interesting in games is necessarily also a discussion of what's boring and tedious. Finding the points where a design begins to work against itself, begins to push the player down paths of rote task and mind-numbing chore, and understanding what exactly leads to these problems, is fundamental to designing an experience that is interesting and exciting. 1,758 more words

Answer this question

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
answered Friday May 25 2012, 3:57 pm:
Think of fitness like a video game. You don't immediately go into Level 50 and try to take down the Big Boss. Start with small things, and set small goals that you know you can meet.
Of course, you need a big, ultimate goal to shoot for. It helps to not think in terms of "I want to weigh this much" but rather "I want to be able to do one-armed pushups" or "I want to run ten miles". Once you figure out the goal, then you find out the steps you need to get there.
Let's say you want to do one-arm pushups, but you can't even do one regular one right now. Start with wall pushups. When you can do 50 of those, 3 times over, then do pushups against a table or a chair. When you can do 50 of those, 3 times over, then do pushups from your knees. When you can do 40 of those, 3 times over, then go to regular pushups. When you can do 20 of those, 3 times over, then move your hands close together. Then put one hand on a basketball. Eventually, you'll be able to do one-handed pushups.
Personally, I would stay away from pills. They can damage your health, they're expensive, and once you start taking them the weight just comes right back. You're better off changing the way you eat. The first step is to track what you're eating right now. Sites like fitday.com let you enter what you eat and give you a breakdown of how much fat, protein and carbohydrate you're consuming. When you have that, you can start making changes.
Simple rules for eating: if it comes in a box, bag, or can, don't eat it. The exception to this rule is frozen vegetables or fruit. Eat lean protein, vegetables, fruit, and whole grains. Don't eat white sugar, white potatoes, white bread, or white noodles. Brown rice, oatmeal, quinoa, and wholegrain bread that doubles as a doorstop are your friends. Read food labels. You have to change the way you think about food; if you approach this as just a way to lose weight, you'll fail, and you'll beat yourself up for failing. If you approach this as a way to make yourself as healthy as possible, you'll do much better.
DO NOT starve yourself! If you try to live on 1000 calories a day, your brain won't work and you won't lose weight. Your body will just shut down.
You might want to head over to nerdfitness.com; it's a fitness and weight-loss community for non-athletes. There's lots of great resources and information, and the folks are friendly.
Hope this helps, and good luck.

Everyone hopes to maintain the same standard of living in retirement as they presently enjoy while working, but to achieve this requires considerable forward planning.
Here are some important questions you need to ask yourself:
If you are in business, the first thing you need to consider is your exit strategy. Will you withdraw from the business, leaving it for the next generation, or will you hope to sell the business? If you intend to hand the business over, do you have a workable succession plan? If you intend to sell, how will you value the business, find a suitable buyer, etc.? Are you aware of all the tax implications of the timing of disposals?
Do you have an adequate pension in place? Do you have the right type of pension? Are you aware of all the pension possibilities open to business owners and directors? Are you making full use of all your allowances?
Do you have the right balance between savings and investments, and is your portfolio split adequately between exposures
Do you have adequate life assurance, and have you made provision for long-term care and medical insurance for you and your family in your later years?
We can help you answer all these questions and recommend solutions tailored to your particular needs.
Working in the construction industry?

My question is, why only NOW the creeper started to send all these threat notes? I mean the manga has been going on for a long time already. Unless they only watched the anime which aired this year... and assumed it was a parody of some other anime... ? Anti's are such idiots sometimes :/ it's ruining all the fans and the people who work for kuroko no basuke who are innocent. | |||

Don't lump everyone together. It appears to be an individual who hates the series after threatening the mangaka, and now going as far in threatening the fans. That's a bit too much... |

This has gotten so crazy that they had to even threat a doujinshi event?? Honestly, who ever you are, please stop this nonsense!! A lot of people love Kuroko no Basuke because of it's comedy, and some other.... *cough*aspects*cough*... but nevertheless... this person must be stopped before he becomes a threat to more things. Already the character singles have been postponed, and I'm not really sure if it's related to these threats are not. Anyone know if the manga is being halted atm either? | |||

I feel sooo bad for the mangaka-- not only does he have to put up with these awful personal threats, but his school too? That must be so humiliating, not to mention scary. Whoever is behind this must be a real butt. I hope they get caught AND stub their toes on the way to their bed tonight!! | |||

That would be too close for comfort. I really doubt it. They said it might be a Slam Dunk fan... Then again as Kuroko's Basketball fan myself, the series pay homages to Slam Dunk, since the second main protagonist Kagami was doing all the dunking by himself anyway. There's nothing in the series to parody about over basketball and character in-jokes with the humor here and there if anyone gets it. |

Not sure if you carved a butthole or vagina in that pumpkin but that didn't stop high Phil from mounting. My study group is horrified.
He was sucking my nipples then stopped, looked me dead in the eyes and said "im gonna cum for my babygirl"
I feel like a cloud. A cloud that wants to be laid.

For those that know me, I am a die hard supporter of my Surface RT. Back in February, I wrote a post about why I chose it over a Surface Pro. The device wasn't perfect and there were a number of issues that people had with it. With Window RT 8.1, a lot of those issues have been put to rest and that's pretty exciting.
This device isn't for everyone, but if you have a similar use case to mine, you might find it a highly useful device. What is my use case? Well, first of all, I travel. A lot. I often find myself working from atypical office settings including the airport, airplanes, restaurants, and bars. As a SharePoint architect, I write very little code. That means having Visual Studio on the device is not a priority for me. If you write code every day, go buy a Surface Pro, or better yet stick with a laptop so you can have a bigger screen. Do I use my Surface RT as my primary machine? Only when I travel so that probably means a good 50% of the time. Do I play games on it? Nothing serious. If any of the above applies to you, read on and you might find that this could be the device for you.
When I am not working, I often find myself catching up on things with my Surface RT while listening to music on my Jambox. I use apps such as iHeartRadio, Vevo, and Nokia Music pretty often. With this much use, it's not uncommon that I might use my Surface 8 – 10 hours in a day. Your Surface Pro isn't going to do that.
Let's take a look at a few of my new favorite things that make Surface RT even better.
SkyDrive Sync
As someone on the go. I rely on SkyDrive heavily. I expect my documents to be available wherever I go regardless of connectivity. Windows RT could access files in SkyDrive but only when connected. This was a real bummer when I got on a plane without Wi-Fi. Although more and more @SouthwestAir flights are connected, there are still a lot that aren't. This meant if I wanted to work on a document on the plane, I had to open it up before hand to be sure I had a copy of it.
Now, the same functionality that we had in the SkyDrive desktop app is built into the Windows RT 8.1 app.
The default setting on whether files are synced or not varies depending on your past usage of SkyDrive. This can be controlled on a per file / folder level. You can sync your entire SkyDrive, by using the settings charm and choosing Access all files offline. SkyDrive will indicate whether the file is available offline right in the app.
Unfortunately, you can't configure where the files themselves are synced. If that bugs you, reply to this thread and raise your concern. However, this isn't a huge issue for me yet. I am definitely happy that I can access my files when I am offline.
Outlook RT
When Surface RT came out, people raised a big stink about how Outlook wasn't included. Ironic, since the iPad they were using previously ran Outlook so well…oh wait. Anyhow, Outlook RT will shut a lot of people up. I mean a lot. Honestly, I haven't even used it yet though. I configured it, but since the February update to the mail app, it's quite a bit more responsive and I can do most of what I need with the exception of managing tasks. For that, I will have to return to Outlook.
They also demoed a new and updated Mail app at Build but that is not included. That is "coming soon".
I haven't had anyone call me yet, but they added the ability to answer Skype calls from the lock screen. That is nice. I'm not sure if this functionality is included yet, or it is "coming soon", but this will be a nice feature.
The app story is getting better. Facebook is finally coming to the Windows store. Does anyone on Surface care? Probably not because they have been using it in their web browser just as they would on their laptop. Remember, the reason web sites started making apps to begin with was because the browser experience sucked on that device. I truly believe the days of native apps as just as interface to a web site are coming to an end.
Does the Windows Store have a ways to go? Yes, but when I go back to my original use case above, I now find that I am only missing three apps that I use on a regular basis: Windows Live Writer, Visio, and Project. I am not holding my breathe on Live Writer because each time it gets an update, I am shocked. Honestly, I don't use the last two all that much, but it would be nice.
One thing you'll notice is that you'll see your apps automatically synchronize across your Windows 8.1 devices. When you hit the start screen the first time, you'll notice an arrow icon next to your apps. This means it hasn't been downloaded yet. You can tap it to start the download or if you wait patiently, eventually Windows will go and grab it. As you might have heard, apps update automatically as well. I guess Apple will claim they invented that first though since they added that to IOS 7.
Supposedly the VPN experience is getting better and I really hope so. As business users, we have put up with crappy VPN clients for years. In my experience, most clients are buggy written using ActiveX or Java, are rarely updated, and don't deal well with new browsers or operating systems. If Windows can start operating native support for these, sign me up. This was a major blocker for a lot of Surface RT users wanting to access corporate resources. Windows RT 8.1 brings hope for native VPN connections to F5, SonicWall, and CheckPoint. I tried it with our SonicWall VPN and it gave me an error. However, it's not like I ever got the regular VPN client to work anyways. I really don't expect these to work until RTM and chances are they will require an update to the VPN appliance, that your IT team will never get around to applying. If you are a VPN administrator, I am sorry, but you know your users don't like these. :)
New Tile Sizes
This isn't really specific to RT, but I do like the new tile sizes just as I like them on Windows Phone 8. It gives you a lot of flexibility on how you maximize your screen real estate. If the tile doesn't actually update, there is no need for it to be huge.
I am kind of liking the new super tiles too. I can see those being useful for certain scenarios. You'll also notice I have four rows of tiles. You can get this by swiping in from the right to go the Settings charm –> Tiles –> Show more tiles.
Xbox Music
I gave the previous Music app several tries. All it did is success in frustrating me. It was just so slow an unresponsive. I haven't used the new app a ton yet, but it already looks a lot better and feels faster. I think this might be an interface I can work with. As Scott Hanselman pointed out, you can even include your SD card in your music library without a bunch of hacks.
This is some of the pre-loaded music included. As we speak, it's currently adding my library off the SD card so I didn't have more songs to show.
Quiet Hours
Scott also pointed this out in his post. I work with a team in Dubai and this is huge for me. They come online 9 hours before I do. That means, when I am going to sleep, they are sending me E-mails. Sometimes, I forget to lower the sound volume and I have been woken up more than once because of it.
At one point it occurred to me after I bought my Surface RT, that there was no alarm feature. I am glad that they have taken the time to add this functionality. I haven't tested it yet, but my assumption is that it should wake me up even when my device is running in connected standby mode. Will it work with a Surface Pro in regular standby mode? I'm curious to know the answer. Someone try it out and let me know. I'll also be trying the alarm functionality tomorrow morning to see if I can rely on it some day to get me up to go to an airport.
What's broken?
As with any beta software, we expect issues. The device is stable. The main thing that is not working for me right now is the Pictures app. It simply doesn't show anything from Skydrive, Facebook, etc. It also crashes quite often too. I'm sure we won't have to wait for another build though. Since it's an app, we'll probably see an update before long at all.
I've been particularly excited about this update for my @Surface RT. It makes it an even better device. What do you think? For those considering a Surface Pro were any of these items a blocker before?

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

G4S awarded £150 million meter reading contract by British Gas
G4S Utility Services (G4S) has been awarded a seven year contract worth at least £150 million, to manage British Gas's meters.
The deal will see G4S read all the conventional meters from April 2013, as well as providing data management services for both fuel types.
Kim Challis, chief executive officer, government and outsourcing solutions at G4S, said: "G4S and British Gas have enjoyed a successful relationship for over 16 years and we are delighted to be working with them on this major contract."
The contract, which was previously split between G4S and Siemens Metering Services, will see almost 700 meter operatives transfer across to G4S, with the first wave of transfers beginning in April. All employees are expected to have completed the transfer to G4S by July 2013.
The company expects to take approximately 40 million meter readings from British Gas customers every year from the start of the contract.
