NOT ANOTHER UPDATE!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I did test it early on, but I wasnt big on the fact that lots of your activity is tracked, so I’ll wait until the consumer release, and put it on a spare laptop.
Beside it really isnt nearly finished for my tastes.
NOT ANOTHER UPDATE!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
They’re having a lot of testers because even though Microsoft is defaulting back to the Desktop user interface on desktop and “conventional” laptops, there’s still a lot of major interface changes even compared to Windows 7. And that will require a lot of user testing and feedback to refine.
It comes pre-loaded with Service-Pack 1 to save you time waiting for the fixes.
Is Prozac usage increasing at the same rate??
Stephen EFLOP is running their mobile services division? Microsoft must want it killed then based on his track record of killing Nokia
Anyone get Cortana to work? She hears me, but I cannot hear her. She does do what I ask - at least tries.
This is with the latest release...
Haven’t had any serious issues myself. What is actually happening is that Microsoft is employing their user community to test more combinations of hardware than they could ever possibly test themselves. If this prevents another “unsigned driver” issue then I’m all for it.
Yep, and I’m one of ‘em. But just because so many of us are testing W10, doesn’t mean we’re gonna convert our businesses or our business clients. We’re EVALUATING whether we’re gonna convert or not, and more importantly we’re making sure our software will work on Windows 10 for those who end up buying W10, which will probably be mostly ignorant consumers who will have it rammed down their throats at Best Buy and the like. You know, like W8 was rammed down their throats, with that being the final straw that caused millions to flee Microsoft forever.
More importantly, peruse the many tech sites regarding W10 and you’ll see nearly dead silence, which is substantially different than the pre-releases of W8 when there were thousands of howls of “disaster looming for Microsoft” and thousands of paid MS trolls replying back with canned responses about how much their little daughters and their ancient grannies just LOVED W8.
Beyond just a smattering of posts, there is neither praise nor attacks on W10 at this point. My interpretation of that situation is that W10 is being seen by serious technicians as little more than W8 with a fresh coat of paint and is not being taken seriously enough to bother to criticize it, especially since it’s clear Microsoft has not listened to us in the past and is CLEARLY not listening to us now as they exclusively plow down the smartphone path unimpeded by any real concerns for the needs of their bread and butter enterprise and SMB customers as, once again, they believe they can take us for granted and that we have no alternatives.
I’m just now converting the majority of my business clients from XP to W7. I’ll keep them on W7 if/until MS produces something that is compatible with the hundreds of millions of current PC applications and user interfaces, and is substantially more productive for their users than Windows 7. Should that case not arise from MS, then there’s no business case for “upgrading” from Windows 7, even if it is “free”, as there will be no positive investment return from the massive costs of the change.
And based on working extensively with W10 TP releases, I can tell you W10 is NOT better than W7. W10 is nothing but a gussied up W8.x with nothing new in it that’s needed on enterprise or SMB PCs. There’s nothing new in W10 that’s not being put their solely to foster MS’s vain hope of growing their currently shrinking 3% worldwide smartphone market share. Cortana, Spartan, APIs for universal device applications, slightly improved (but still bereft) MS App Store, integrated MS cloud, integrated MS Bing, and all the rest are things for cell phones and/or things MS wants to try to trick people into paying extra money for. And not a single one of these things is useful for enterprise and SMB PCs.
Fundamentally, W10 is what Microsoft management is selling to its ignorant board of directors as the great mobile savior that will make Microsoft relevant in mobile. The problem is that Microsoft will never be relevant in mobile. That war was fought and lost years ago before Microsoft even understood they were in a battle, much less in a war for survival. W10’s sole purpose is really to keep the post-Ballmerites in their jobs for the few years that it will take the board to realize that they’re equally as clueless and impotent as the recently departed Ballmerites.
Before it was released to the public, I predicted W8.x was going to be a massive disaster for both Microsoft and the entire PC industry, and I predict that W10 will be little better. W10 is going to be almost as big a bomb for MS as W8.x.
