Heads up -- Windows 10 takes away some things you might be used to having ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: search on keyword "windowspinglist".

I lasted for years on XP and will last for years on 7. Minimal issues and I plan on keeping it that way until I can’t.

Seems they’re beginning to purge some fluff.

They need to purge a lot more.

Not to mention there’s a good chance that 20% of drivers for existing hardware will not work or work well, thereby crippling or blue screening your “upgraded” PC. And figure 10% of application software will fail as well. It’s clear to me from working with the technical releases of W10, that it’s likely W10 is going to have MAJOR, MAJOR problems.

For me, nothing can be as bad as 8.1, so I will upgrade.

I’ve been using the Win 10 beta for a few months now I definitely do not like it. Keep Win 7 for as long as you can.

Oh well, I like 8.1. But I’ll upgrade to 10 unless there is some type of major problem with it.

For me, I’m perfectly happy with Win 7 ultimate (64 bit) and will not be upgrading until I am forced to.

10 = X
Windows = operating system = OS

So...yeah, upgrade to OS X.

This laptop is new and came with 8.1 I suppose I will install since I don’t use it for my engineering software.

XP ran my applications just fine. 8.0 broke some of them. So I installed VirtualBox and ran XP as a virtual machine. 8.1 broke VirtualBox.

Hey, MS, ease up.
