“Microsoft has been pushing Windows 10 for over a year now, and it seems to be “successful.””
Another day, another one of these. No matter how many installs these guys have, the snarky tech bloggers will say whatever they can to make it seem like no one has. And then proclaim that Microsoft is going out of business tomorrow. Overlooking the fact that it’s on more machines than OSX and Linux combined.
And as for FR? Here is a handy scorecard for the first 100 posts on a typical MS story:
I expect 30 comments from Linux guys screeching about how you need to install Linux Mint.
15 posts of people claiming that Windows 10 made their computers inoperable and they had to buy new ones (i.e. People too stupid to be using a PC)
Someone claiming that Windows 10 installed itself while they were sleeping
The same 6 old dudes bragging about running XP and how only a fool would use anything newer.
“OMG I bought a Mac and I’ve never had an issues EVER!!!”
LOL, yep, this is definitely one to bring everybody out of the woodwork....
Good one! (or good many!!!)
Agree. It’s so typical and so boring.
I find Microsoft software great, and even so, when it breaks or is a bitch to install and maintain, I have a good job because of that!
~$100 for an SSD and Linux Mint for the desktop is the way to go (run XPP in a VirtualBox). Android for the tab and ha
nd me down smart phones.
I must not be feeling well, but I like Windows 10 just fine.
Yikes.

Hey! Over here! Here I am! Didn’t know I was such an XP dude!
And my webserver/database server is Linux.
And I’m going full Linux next computer.
But I thought your post was pretty funny anyways :)
LOL! You nailed it!
Lol!!!!! Right on the money!!!
Hah, jokes on you, I run a triple boot system..Ubuntu, Windows 7, and Knoppix.
hahahahaha...
oh, wait, I sort of proved your point..Never mind, then.
Oh, man, I just ride in 'em ... I don't know what makes 'em work.
snort, snort — you owe me a new keyboard (yes, I still use a keyboard).
And this one comment from me: Stay with Windows 7 until they improve Windows 10’s privacy issues and other things. I’m still enjoying Windows 7. I have 10 months until I can’t download 10 for free, so I can wait.
Not quite.
But I attempted to upgrade yesterday. It wasn't successful. Now I get a "The Diagnostic Policy Service is not running" error when I try to fix my connectivity problems that have resulted from the failed install.
Trying to figure that one out.
