Linux Mint blows all windoze away running on half the hardware.

Have dual-core winxp, win7, win8.1 all with 4gb ram.

Linux Mint running a single proc. with 2gb ram does circles around them.

And that has what to do with this topic? I realize you Linux lovers are passionate but this is discussing the kernel number change for a Windows operating system, it does in no way discuss Linux, a comparison of it to Linux or any such sort.

Instead of calling it 6.5 or 7 they jump all the way to 10.

Is this like “Big Hero 6” not being a sequel to anything?

"6" refers to the number of "heroes" in the group. :)

I've seen the movie.

[GeronL]

I figured as much.

Someone should come out with a film titled: “Part Three” and see what happens.

I have 10 running on a VM and really like it. It's a cross between 7 and 8.1

I'm in the Corporate IT world and we have been avoiding upgrading any of our customers to 8.1 due to the user training involved. I believe users will be able to jump to 10 without much or any training.

...app makers should start updating as well to make sure that no software compatibilities are found.

Yeah, we wouldn't want any of those "software compatibilities" to slip through. If they did, the software might actually work. Who writes this nonsense? Do they proof read it first?

Look up "Troll 2"

There are no trolls.

There is no "Troll 1"

I'd recommend running Windows 7 with more like 6 GB of RAM if you want to keep disk activity reasonably low. My home computer has 8 GB of RAM installed running Windows 7 Home Edition (SP1) and it is fast, stable and starts and closes programs pretty quickly.

By the way, I'd probably recommend around 6 GB of RAM installed when Windows 10 finally ships to retailers probably around end of October 2015.

After having seen Oceans 11 and Oceans 12, do you know how hard I tried to find Oceans 1 through 10?

I have Mint installed dual boot on my computer, its great!

That said, I am still eager to get Windows 10, have tried the preview and I really like it.

Thank you. That is very interesting... I haven’t given Linux a serious try for a few years and eventually kept going with Windows because I was more familiar with Windows Applications and features. I have now become so much more familiar with Android devices that I think that it would be less difficult working with a different operating system.

Every few years it makes sense to take a fresh look at the operating system that you are using. A good time to do it is when Microsoft comes out with something new. So I think that your observation is appropriate. Linux Mint... I will check it out.

Sort of like STAR WARS, EPISODE IV?

Aww, heck, since he is in the news lately, let's pile on:
