Windows 10 Review - Day 4 and WUDO

While it hasn't been perfect, my Windows 10 experience has been pretty damn impressive. Considering I am one of tens of millions of users that upgraded, I have to admit any gripes I have are insignificant considering the daunting scale of this bit-torrent inspired, massive scale canary deployment of the latest OS.
