Microsoft’s latest automatic Windows Update is totally unacceptable. I’m talking about KB949810, pushed out in the latest raft of updates in the USA.
The software installed by KB949810 has only one purpose: to collect personally identifiable information about you and your computer and send it to Microsoft. It does this over and over, and Microsoft does not support uninstalling it.

Client Question: Should I try Mark Forster’s new “autofocus” time management system?
Answer by Kevin Crenshaw, Priacta Head Coach and co-author of The TRO Field Guide:
Mark Forster’s new “autofocus” system is interesting, and Mark is a great time management experimenter, so we’re paying attention.
We believe even great systems can be improved, so we constantly look at other methods to enhance Total, Relaxed Organization. For example, TRO is based largely on David Allen’s GTD principles, and TRO uses some ”closed lists” like Mark Forster’s prior system, Do It Tomorrow. (TRO’s “Do Today” list is a closed list, and TRO relies on closed lists even more with certain tools like Remember the Milk.)
Overall, we see both good and bad in Mark’s new “autofocus” system. It could be great for some people but would probably fail in the long run for anyone feeling a lot of time management pain. Here is our reasoning.
Trog Bar is in the final stages beta testing. Of course, we’ve locked down the feature set, which keeps us from introducing last-minute bugs, and bug reports on the latest build have been sparse. Since lots of people are using it, this means the new Trog is quite stable.
With plenty of time but few bugs, we’ve taken time to play with an idea (in a separate development branch, of course). The idea is simple: use a fast and light SQL database to index Outlook’s tasks and emails. Then, query the database rather than Outlook’s MAPI interface…
Client Questions: I am interested in TRO training, but should I still get Total Workday Control by Michael Linenberger or Getting Things Done by David Allen?
How does TRO training differ from TWC and GTD? Or are they the same?
How would I benefit from TRO over Total Workday Control or Getting Things Done?
