Yup, I'm getting it. I've been meaning to change my OS from vista anyway.

I am definitely keeping 7 for a very long time. When I finally do have to upgrade to a newer OS, I think I'm getting off the Windows train.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream.

and for those using windows 7, they keep installing new .exe's to our computers without permission......hidden within these recent updates are new files being added, most likely backdoors n shit for those who arn't upgrading.
CompatTelRunner.exe which its name would suggest is testing for compatability with windows 10, but u never know for sure. thats ontop of the icon that can't be made to dispear in the notifications area, believe the only way to get rid of it is shifting through the windows folder and to actually delete the files. pretty sure i tried to disable it with msconfig that didn't even work

the only reason windows 10 exists is because windows 8 was so awful, they needed a down grade to windows 7, which obviously was different from 9 which leaves 9 to come in later perhaps with a different name. thusly you have 10 which is the pull back to 7 with all the extra bullshitty baggage from 8, just to make it different ENOUGH so that people dont realize they'd be better to stay with 7 in the first place.
encouraging a downgrade from 8 is bad for bidnesss, lets just make a shitty version of the one before it

Windows 10 blows. We've been using it at work for at least 3 months now, and it's a real pain in the ass.

I think the last good O/S they had was 7 and especially Vista. 8 and 8.1 was a total failure. 10 they are trying to keep a bit of 8.1 alive. 10 however is better than 8 and 8.1

Why would anyone want Mac or Windows? Windows never quits shoving updates down your throat and Mac is just so expensive for the same exact hardware that's in a PC. Go Linux.

there has never been a "good" windows.
if you want a "good" os, you'll have to try different linux distros.

Quote:
An unfortunate Windows 10 user was left red-faced after upgrading to Microsoft's new operating system - when his pornography catalogue began blinking across his screen in a slideshow on repeat.
Excited to upgrade to the new format, the computer-lover upgraded to the new software and left it to 'do its thing', only to be woken by his wife asking why his collection of pornographic images was rotating on the desktop view.
The unfortunate user appears to have fallen foul of feature of the new operating system which pulls through images saved in one of the default folders to be used as a slideshow.
Writing on Reddit under his username FalloutBoS, he said: "Loaded up WIN 10 last night and left it on to do its thing.
"Woke up to wife asking why I set it to rotate all my porn images right on the desk top view.
"I have no idea how to shut that feature off and that computer is staying shut down until I do."
The new Windows 10 system features the same live tiles that were seen on Windows 8, one of which is called Photos.
In what is presumably intended to be a quaint feature, Photos pulls images from the My Pictures folder and shows them on a slideshow loop.
The user added: “Don't make my mistake, keep your private pictures out of My Pictures, no matter how deep you hide them in sub folders.
“My wife is very happy I admitted my mistake on this sub. She said I took my medicine and she now finds it quite funny. Ain't love grand?”
Fortunately, the feature can easily be turned off, with a simple right click and press of 'turn live tile off'.
Alternatively, the problem could be avoided another way.
One Reddit user added: "I guess it assumes you will not save porn into the pictures folder."

Windows 10 sucks cock, it's basically a massive spyware program.
It's a wet dream come true for the NSA though
Even saved files on your harddrive can be looked through by Microsoft and shared with law enforcement or for selective advertising purposes

apple, google, etc. all do the same thing, its not just microsoft

I have never gotten used to it.
I use windows 7 at work and love it.
I had windows vista on my old comp and that was even better then windows 8.
Windows 8 is so confusing its like your on a tablet or something, its the worst layout ive encountered.

i use 8.1 for some things.
8 was a annoyingly bad. 8.1 is somewhat better.
im constantly baffled by the ammount of people who have simply never tried ubuntu or fedora.
and by try, i mean with someone actually SHOWING You enough stuff to where its simple for you.
as soon as i have time to patch it im going to install 10 on virtualbox or vmware.
which by the way will run smoother than installing it on a physical disk, but will still take 2 hours to install for some reason.
i've never had linux take longer than 15 mins.

mind explaining how that works? because it is still on a physical disk. its just booted secondarily. logic would imply it would be slower or equal(unlikely) in speed

Just my own 2 cents, I downloaded it a few days ago, and it actually uninstalled a few applications and software(s) that I had on windows 7, and I couldn't get them to install, so I rolled back to windows 7, and I still can't get them to install, tried cleaning out registries and using microsoft windows fix your fuck ups, just nothing would get em to run.
I did like windows 10, and I don't miss those things that much, so I may run it again, I got my download reserved again so I'll wait for more reviews.
