TechByter Worldwide 2015.11.01: The Windows Club: Worth Far More than You Don't Pay to Join; Security First (Two Approaches); Short Circuits; and Spare Parts.

One of the more helpful sites for Windows users is The Windows Club, but be careful with downloads from the site.

In Spare Parts (only on the website): Microsoft finally opens its flagship store in New York City and it's very close to Apple's flagship store and the rush to move software as a service applications to the cloud is accelerating.
