Windows 10

[jakhollin]

Despite popular hate. I have upgraded to Windows 10. This took an hour and a half to do which is an eternity with today's instant gratification standards. So when Microsoft asked for my satisfaction with the upgrade I felt the need to share.

Did you disable all of the tracking **** manually or even at all? Really sneaking ****; absolute oh-vey level.

Heck no it is a work computer what do I care...

absolutely the best feature of my update to windows 10: the option to reset to the state just prior to the update I survived about 3 to 4 hours of UI hell before I went back to windows 7.
Call me close-minded, but I see absolutely no need to completely overhaul a perfectly functional interface for one that intrudes so blatantly everytime I want to do anything (that 'start menu full screen window' thing, for starters)

By default "Start" is not in "full screen", you can change it in the settings, so you can enjoy the old "Start Menu" with "All programs"

Better off just keeping Windows 7 to begin with. Any future gaming needs can easily be solved via third party drivers & what not. Unless its a workstation; then you get to deal with the best programs being on Windows while using a virtual machine through Linux. Yet still runs like **** at times due to how finicky VMs are.

All the VMs I work in are run of a VM host running VM ware so that has not ever bugged me. What is going to piss me off is moving to the new VS 2015 apparently you cannot do anything offline with that. But of course our developer that handles what all the licensing and versions for VS at work is a Microsoft fan boy....

I honestly don't understand why people upgrade to win 10. Does it solve any problems? Is there something people can't do with their current OS that they can in Win 10?

You can't disable it. You can turn a lot of it off, but you can never disable it, and I'm sure there'll be hacks out there to flip it back on and steal the stream of data that comes out of your computer at some point.

Why do people buy new iPhones every year? Because they're ... well, I'll be polite and not say it.

Yeah that is what I'm getting at. Some people are working on disabling it all but it seems MicroKike keeps on trying to add it in secretly even when you completely jurry rig out updates & whatnot. Its honestly not worth the hassle as its an never ending game of cat & mouse. The only use I can see of using it is to either do program specific work or gaming but nothing else.

At least they are trying to act like the stand up for people against the U.S. judicial system currently. Otherwise they are data-mining ***** as usual.
