Seems pretty spot on to me..........

They developed 10 in light of Android and iOS datamining everbody and wanted to get in on the action.

Don't expect much from Microsoft until their next iteration IF they realize they screwed up.

XP/7..good to go.

I don't think they realize they screwed up yet, so who knows?

All I need is a linux DX emulator and I'd , oh who am I foolin'? Some things only run on certain versions of Windows.

I wouldn't use Windows much anymore, though.

They also wanted (and still want) to be the one size fits all in a society that doesn't want a one size fits all and they're too arrogant to realize that approach could easily be their downfall.
Win 10 is supposed to be their last with annual 'Edition Updates', an "operating system as a service" as they put it. As for them realizing they screwed up? That won't happen until the train is just about to hit them in the tunnel they dug and by then it'll probably be too late. They don't measure customer satisfaction based on consumer feedback, they measure it based on number of upgrades to their current OS which in 10's case would be skewed given Microsoft's "marketing ploy" (upgrade bombardment with updates). If at least one of the Linux distros gets their act together and goes mainstream in a big way I'd be willing to bet M$ would see at least a one third drop in home users overnight.

Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora are pretty nice!

I use Fedora, it does everything I need for this.

Gayming, well, 10 is NOT better than 7, there's nothing new under the sun, it's all a big cluster f%^&*()(

PC Windows gaming peaked in 2007-2009.

All that dx12 talk. Got any samples of dx12 games?

That stuff's like graphene chips- nonexistant.

Look on Valve or Steam..

Still, all Windows and other systems go:

When lightening hits...............................

You really should use surge strips (power strips with built in breakers........

including phone lines..

XP by far. Still use it on the main computer.

Nothing is stored on this Windows 10 comp, which more often than not is located in Singapore and whose only purpose is flogging the encyclopedic Internet. It gets DOD'd every morning.

I put a knife through dam-ned Cortana's heart on install.

With the latest Edition that came out in July Cortana can't be blocked or eliminated unless someone just found a way to do it.

I extracted Cortana. It wasn't pretty.

That chopped-up Windows is not, and never will be available to the public.

They still had bullcrap tied in to necessary functions (1-2)

Oh, it's bad, not quite as bad as Google Android or iOS, but they sure gave it the old college try.

I'm not a programmer so I won't even try.

I think I have; I know I have surge protectors, now I look up 'built in breakers'. Thank you.

Yes, and I have a captioned phone, one flicker and POOF, I have lost one that way.

I believe all surge protectors have built in breakers, it's one thing that makes them a surge protector. Lightning causes a surge the breaker in the power strip is tripped stopping the surge from getting to the computer. You just flick the power switch on the protector back on afterwards.

I have Windows 10 on my computer.

I don't think I actually use it correctly. I just open shit and close shit and I still don't know how to customize.

It makes me feel like an old man with a VCR.

I lost 3 computers from the telephone box on the outside of the house getting struck by lightning...I told the telephone company they didn't ground it properly, and low and behold if the day I turned off the service they didn't show up with 600 feet of new phone lines and a new ground line..It hasn't happened since....

Well that and a capacitor and diode bank...

That is a lot simpler than square wave rectification from a diode bank.....

Now there is one place where Microsoft has been extremely user friendly..........

Now there is one place where Microsoft has been extremely user friendly..........

Yep, first thing I do upon a new install, open Explorer so I can download Chrome, then delete Explorer...

 

[Ringel05]

Microsoft's idea of a freebie.......... And advertising........ On your computer.........

And if that doesn't work then the follow up..........
