- You may want to hold off on 8.1 unless you want your start
button back. Very sketchy (shady?) what Microsoft is up to at the moment. From
what I gather (http://www.infoworld.com/t/microsoft-windows/threes-charm-windows-8-patches-could-pave-multiple-paths-windows-9-240633) MS Is not
offering security patches to 8.1 unless you get the 8.1 update. (Eyes rolling-
like we wouldn't update : ) Mostly looks like they are trying to condition
behaviors to the new metro interface and gain press wherever they can.
Apparently MS may be coming out with a 'free' cloud version OS and potentially 3 sub-versions of the OS. (Tablet, desktop and 'old school' corporate interfaces). They are likely to make their money selling servers, datacenter editions and outright azure access to become a data/infrastructure powerhouse like google. Not sure if they have made their minds up yet- but definitely some serious waves being made inside MS. - But, if you miss this train- no telling when the next one is coming...
- Three's a charm? Windows 8 patches could pave multiple paths to Windows 9
In cutting off Windows 8.1 security patches, Microsoft may be setting up three upgrade avenues for Windows 9
Here is the follow-up to the 8.1 update... You don't know when (or if) security patches will be coming... REALLY makes me want to downgrade to windows 7 pro... or LINUX for that matter. This was really an elitist bone head move by MS. - http://www.infoworld.com/t/microsoft-windows/microsoft-confirms-its-dropping-windows-81-support-240407
- Microsoft confirms it's dropping Windows 8.1 support
- Microsoft TechNet blog makes clear that Windows 8.1 will not be
patched; users must get Windows 8.1 Update if they want security patches

Powerpoint countdown and current time in slides VBA
Add text fields- this VBA searches through the objects in the first frame until it finds " " in the text some where, truncates everything from and to the right and replaces it with an active countdown timer or current time in the box. Refreshes every 500ms with a prtsafe call so it doesn't bog down the CPU. Add a slide advance to start the next slide and begin automated slide advancement. Attribute VB_Name = "Countdown" Private Declare PtrSafe Function WaitMessage Lib "user32" () As Long Public Sub Wait ( Seconds As Double ) ''non cpu-intensive wait timer '' https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57268161/sleep-wait-timer-in-powerpoint-vba-thats-not-cpu-intensive Dim endtime As Double endtime = DateTime.Timer + Seconds Do WaitMessage DoEvents Loop While DateTime.Timer < endtime End Sub Sub Countdown_from_Start () Dim Time As Date Dim Count As ...
