Should that have been "the best option ... TO enrol" rather than AND? 
(It might _just about_ be grasmmatical with "and", but it would 
certainly read/flow better with "to". Unless there's a deliberate reason 
they used "and".)>>

As with XP and 7, I have no intention of worrying about the cessation of 
"support" (I don't feel "supported" anyway). But of course unlike 
previous versions, AIUI "updates" in 10 can't be turned off, which 
implies - to me, anyway - the possibility that, maybe some years down 
the line, M$ would be able to kill off - stop working altogether - any 
10 machine still online. Thoughts? (Including can it be blocked if I'm 
right.)

By the very definition of "news," we hear very little about the dominant
threats to our lives, and the most about the rarest, including terror.
