there has been a government back door since windows nt, i've exploited that fact on servers just to see if it was only for home editions.

no its part of that whole microsoft is doing alright thing I was talking about. theyve like changeded thier bussiness model to giving away ton of freebees and giving customers what they want and treating them well. Like in case u havent noticed they have given like fuckload of shit for free from office to full xbox games. But no def the government rite?

they are trying to get market share away from linux.
which is going to fail because linux uses less overhead, and you dont need virus software slowing you down.

I don't think Microsoft is too worried about losing out to Linux in the consumer pc market at the moment. The free upgrade think just seems like recognition that few people are willing to pay for an OS upgrade anyway. By and large people don't buy copies or upgrades of Windows, they buy a computer with it already installed.

Gresh said: i wont be upgrading simply because updates are manditory and automatic in the regular versions. you can only turn them off in the expensive 'ultimate' edition or whatever they're calling it.
its ironically making windows 10 less secure though, and forcing people to download updates and drivers that cause OS and graphics card crashes. so im guessing that will change soon and they will let people turn that shit off. i might give it a shot then

linux isnt too popular on PCs, compared to windows or apple OS's, but its HUGELY popular software for servers. ever heard of redhat?
virtually every operating supercomputer also use linux systems. like 97% of em or something

ms has this theory that its because linux is free.
but the reasonS for using linux are so many, that free is just lumped in under "convenient" for me.
i can run mac and windows software, i can run many game console software i do not need virus protection and my computer runs much faster.
theres no traffic from my computer to microsoft.
so, you can have an os that limits you.
or one that lets you have everything that os has, and then builds on, while being free.
i have a client who is mentally challenged, i was getting thrice weekly service calls for viruses, blue screens and lockups.
i installed ubuntu. i still hear from them regularly. but never to fix their computer

Yeah apparently some poorly written software checks for 95 and 98 by the fact that the version name starts with the character "9".

To feed the paranoid people: Why do you think it is a free "upgrade"? I mean just think if it has a built in backdoor for the NSA, and now everyone is upgrading and running it.
