Hello @ Coffee4Joe - I finally figured out what the problem was with the clock. It has less to do with Windows and more to do with the fact I'm dual booting between Windows and Linux Mint on the same system. It seems Windows prefers to set the clock according to local time, while Linux Mint uses UTC time. So the solution is to either configure Windows to use UTC, or configure Linux to use local time, the latter being the easier solution of the two. Here's a link that I found describing everything: http://askubuntu.com/questions/169376/clock-time-is-off-on-dual-boot
Windows rewards Win10 beta testers....
Don't get too excited. Actually, don’t get excited at all. To say thanks for taking the trouble to download a multi-gigabyte image, going to the hassle of setting up a virtual machine or installing a new operating system on a spare computer, for providing feedback on the embryonic Windows 10 Technical Preview, Microsoft has a gift for members of the Windows Insider Program. Three wallpapers.
it does beg the question, WHY ?!
It does beg the question why does betanews react with such incredulty that Microsoft is offering free wallpapers for people who opted into a power-user program? Were they expecting more? Should they expect anything? Is the gift not being able to (alpha?) beta test the next Windows OS?

Is a van of Redmond knee crackers going to be at my house for taking the "We're Open" wallpaper and making it dark blue?

probably just a copy/paste TOS like every other company these days
I've seen better wallpaper on an actual wall inside a house, just sayin'.
They are coming out quickly with more and more of these Windows, soon enough Windows 11 will be out if not already. Thanks for sharing this interesting topic.
