They're right.   Technically, Windows 10 is the same major version as Vista, part of the 6.x series.  So yeah, you could call it Windows 8.2.  Or Windows Vista 4.  Or Windows 6.4.   Microsoft hasn't used actual version numbers for the names of their operating system releases since Windows 3.11.  The name of Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 have been marketing driven--the numbers don't mean anything.

Trust no one and you won't be disappointed. Sorry, just a little jaded. As a CFO for a construction company, employee theft is a normal part of the business. Never leave anything in a place where it can be stolen. Tools and small equipment goes missing all the time. If you give these guys any opportunity to be dishonest, they will be. I know that is a broad generalization. But it comes from history and experience. Tom Hollister (soon to be Newark) CA

So, as the post just above Debbie's said, the employees get the cash and can use it for whatever they want. If they choose to use it to buy health insurance, that's their choice. As long as it isn't tied to insurance cost or made conditional... basically they all get a raise and spend it on whatever. And it goes on the W-2.

I agree Eric. I've looked for articles regarding technical problems with the system. I haven't found anything. Just the usual cosmetic stuff about the tile screen and no start button. Personally, I like the new tile screen. I have a touch screen and it is quite handy for a lot of things. I still use the mouse and keyboard shortcuts. One short cut people might want for the 'start button' is MS logo key + X. Pop up menu shows up that should help.
