Well, I sent it out for repair two or three years ago and I haven't gotten the old unit back in exchange for my laptop yet. Both computer started giving me fits right after we moved. The old one is sooooo slow. My computer repair guy advised me to avoid making any changes to my Dell XP until I give it to him so that he can repair it and set up correctly. We've been too broke. (sigh) I hope things will improve soon (like this year)

I have no idea how it all got started. If you read a lot of the posts on Gabe Aul's twitter feed (the point guy for Microsoft), it seems to have gained legs there: https://twitter.com/GabeAul/with_replies

Oh, and I think that's a narwhal, not a dolphin.

fell for the hype and will get Windows 10 on the 29th. Don't know what I'm in for.
P.S.: I wasn't all that sure it was a dolphin but that was my best guess. LOLZ

Just make sure you get the latest drivers for your graphics card and your other stuff. If you have problems, go here:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10?tab=Threads

Microsoft has people there who help for free. You have to register to participate, using, I think, an Outlook account (the new version of Hotmail).
