The Drake forum hasn't had many users comment on Drake hosted software. One person commented that the printer and fonts were slightly problematic, and a couple of people agreed that it's better to have control of the software on our machines. Specifically, several agreed with slower internet in the more rural areas making this unworkable, or what if the internet was down in either the user's area or Drake's? Then the person can't work on the returns? Plus, with any cloud-based software, the user loses the ability to continue using the software if changing vendors. I'll stick with having the software on my machine for as long as possible.

Microsoft has been modifying windows 7 & 8 with their 'telemetry' that's part of 10, and also pushing 10 on users of 7 & 8. I keep seeing the 10 update in Windows Update, even though I've hidden it and uninstalled the Get Windows 10 tool (KB3035583). Telemetry is sending data back to Microsoft about how you use your computer. If, like me, you're uncomfortable sending unknown data back to Microsoft, you can do the following. Below are the best instructions I've found so far. If it looks like Geek to you, call your IT person, but most of it is quite simple, although windows does its best to hide Task Scheduler and Services.
