I'll probably wait to get W10 until it's been out some time. So far it seems like no games I want to play on it have issues running, which is good. (Plus that Killer Instinct port will only work on 10 and I'm curious about that) ____________________ "I just want the stupid hat, that’s all…and world domination…but right now, just the hat!" |

Aaaand that's why I'm probably going to wait for a reasonably good update to it (a Service Pack 1, I guess). ____________________ "I just want the stupid hat, that’s all…and world domination…but right now, just the hat!" |

Originally posted by Peardian Hah. That's kind of cheap, but it's a common tactic you get to learn after a while. "Is there no cancel option? Look further, there's always a way to close it." It's still cheap how they'll do anything to get people to download Windows 10. Originally posted by Peardian In the end, that's what they want, right? It's a free update, so accidentally or not, it'll get them more Windows 10 users. It's not really fair, but in the end, unless a user's installation goes wrong, it's not likely they'll get any complaints, much less people going through the trouble of reverting back to Windows 7 or 8.1. I personally saw two different installations of Windows 10, one that went right and the other that went horribly wrong. Thankfully, they managed to fix the corrupted installation, but still. Windows 10 has gotten better but it's still not quite there. I recommend waiting just a little longer, we have until June 2016 after all. ____________________ ♫"If you're still young, still young, still young Tomorrow you'll be old, you'll be old, you'll be old!

Originally posted by Zero One I agree that more stuff could be on Linux (and I also wish there were more compiled shit for Linux). I am not a big fan of the terminal though, so...yeah. I was thinking about going to Ubuntu, but I also considered Debian, Red Hat As for the DRM/User control, a lot of major OSes are doing that too. Mac OS X has a lot more available compared to ten years ago, but it is also a walled-up garden compared to ten years ago. (*cough* Apple Store certificates *cough*) It's not surprising they're walling stuff up, as MS and a bunch of other parties wants OSes secure from viruses. But yeah, SecureBoot is beyond stupid and something that is going to ruin other OSes (or at least effectively force you to use VirtualBox or VMWare Player). Windows 7 has always been constantly updating since after Service Pack 1, which means that there can be patches issued quickly, but there's also no convenient package to store updates after X amount of time. As someone who had to reinstall Windows 7 SP1 recently, having to get 1,000+ updates downloaded and reinstalled is a tad bit more annoying than having to just install a service pack. ____________________

So we have computers at home that run Windows 10, been watching that for a while and here are my feelings:
* mom always badgering me about how retro I am everytime this is brought up, as if I was using Windows 3.1. I'm not switching to 10, accept it and shut up, thank you. * half the time, those computers are getting updates that take ages to download and install. And it's mandatory now. As if Windows Update wasn't annoying enough. * "all your files are exactly where you left them", "we are preparing your computer", etc... Windows 10 is creepy. It feels like Microsoft is here, right in your computer, watching you and trying to communicate with you. * It takes the decision to delete your shit without asking you. No thanks. It's like if your bank took the decision to give some of your money to random people behind your back. Also further reinforcing the feeling that you're sharing a computer with Microsoft and not really owning anything. * the windows are ugly, hell, even Windows 3.1 looks nicer (and is more customizable and trustable). But I guess that doesn't matter, eventually your computer is meant to become a giant smartphone. Although it'd be silly to name it Windows if it doesn't have windows anymore... right? Might as well rename it to Skynet or something. * "please wait while we are setting up shit" "oh and check this out in the meantime"... yeah, and what happened to progress bars? Or showing the user what is actually happening? Microsoft goes further in pretending the average user is a moron. (even if many are actually morons, maybe educating them is better than turning PCs into baby toys?) * Does Windows 10 have anything actually new? Doesn't seem like it. I mean... Windows 7 already does everything I want and more. So why bother switching? Hell, even ye olde XP already does everything I want. ____________________ Kuribo64 -- SM64DS hacking |

Originally posted by StapleButter To be fair, I do think your average user is a moron. There are a lot more people who would be fine having stuff automated for them vs them taking the time to learn how to do something. We live in a world where people don't understand how easy it is to just go and google something up to acquire the info needed. Follow the money trail. Microsoft doesn't make money if you keep using Windows XP or 7 despite how well it suites your needs (although they aren't making money from 10 if you directly upgrade from 7, 8 or 8.1 atm). There is more profit to be had by announcing a new OS every few years. The very name Windows 10 reeks of marketing bullshit anyway. Whatever happened to Windows 9? 10 is a psychologically more satisfying number than 9 is so they skipped it for that reason. It's all about trying make something look shiny and new to entice you to buy it which the 10 tries to help do. I shouldn't just hit Microsoft for this, Apple lives by this trend by announcing some new iOS device every year. I will say, all of this makes me interested to look into Linux. I don't game on PC. If I code, I'm using Java (love it or hate it) so any projects I have should port easy (in theory). Most of the time I'm browsing the web anyway. I'm more interested in having an OS that boots quick and shuts down easily vs bloat. I need to look into it one of these days. ____________________ Zero Escape 3 is becoming a reality!!! >>Official Reveal<< >>Another Confirmation<< >>Operation Bluebird Facebook Page<< |

Originally posted by BMF54123 "This will delete the Windows 10 folders. Are you sure?" *clicks no* *proceeds to delete them anyway* Thanks!  To be fair, I was going to delete them anyway, I just wanted to change a few things before it deleted them. It has been a while, I've saw Windows 10 running in a few computers, I must admit, I am not happy with how it is. It's mostly the auto updates, that basically prevents me from ever switching to 10. I thought that maybe it wasn't so bad, but it is. Also, the stupid Metro apps. I know what they're doing, they're providing news apps for people to use and trick others into thinking "oh wait, the legacy one is still there so it's fine" until they can simply delete the legacy program and leave no other option except the Metro apps. Is it any wonder why Windows Media Player isn't getting any new versions? *sigh* I'll be sticking with Windows 7 for the time being and maybe switching to Linux. I don't see myself using Windows 10. I hated W8, and in some aspects, 10 isn't much better. I was hoping they would fix more stuff, but they didn't. ____________________ ♫"If you're still young, still young, still young Tomorrow you'll be old, you'll be old, you'll be old!

| I think I might know why they skipped W9. They're just afraid of the mighty Apple, that's all. Apple's at ios 9, why not be at W10! That means we are better than them, though they actually are not. |
