    Win7 to 10. How bad would it be?

    Your right about that.. Just looked it up Copyright 2009. Are you saying that if I did it, you dont think the computer would be able to handle it for general internet browsing and the occasional work video/meeting?

I ended up taking the plunge and upgrading all 9 to 4k bundle for $80. I figured $20 more to upgrade my three previously...

    Fandango purchases Vudu!

    Do you all have any thought or opinions of the news that Fandango is purchasing Vudu? I received an email that said not much was going to change but that there would be more offers etc. Should we be looking forward to this? I see it as a step backwards for Vudu. I guess that Fandango is...
