    I subscribe to https://www.howtogeek.com/

    They said Windows 10 was not a great platform and M$ was going to turn it into a subscription service and they recommended not downloading it.

    After a while they announced that you probably should download it and not install it.


    After that they just assumed that everybody had installed it.

    Now they are saying some fools are spreading a rumor that M$ is going to turn Windows 10 into a subscription service and we should not fall for that.

    I no longer subscribe to howtogeek.com

      Ok, thank you for all of that, exactly what did you intentionally avoid from all of it and now regret?

    I did not download Win10 when it was free, and now I will have to pay for it.

    Doing the dishes. When I did get around to doing them the next day, the food was stuck on so badly, they needed a god soaking before I shoved them in the dishwasher.

    I rarely avoid things.. I am a well ok, bite the bullet and get on with it kind.. I make myself do things even if I don't want to..  I also tend to follow my heart and do what i feel is right, even if it's not smart or seems wrong.

    Nothing significant lately but let's go back about 50 years when I was new in the Navy. Gold was $35.00/Oz at that time and I got the idea I should arrange with the bank to buy an ounce of gold each month.  Just never got around to doing that. 
    DARN!! I would have accumulated about 100 ounces when I left the RCN.
