If rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it.
Ten is a good operating system.
I believe it will get there.
At present, it's got some show-stopping incompatibilities with my existing network resources, so I can't deploy it to my users yet. And there is that nagging uncertainty about all the private "telemetry", since we do confidential work for our clients. But it'll get there.
In the meantime, nothing wrong with posting information for the folks who want to run 7 and 8.1 in peace.
10 is a deep snoop system.
Win10 is actually a poor OS. It left out a lot of usability that Win7 has built into it. For example, it doesn’t allow Virtual XP to run.
I downloaded and installed Windows Essentials 2012 for their Movie Maker program and it works fine. I didn’t think it would run on Win10 but it does. There were a few other programs that I was able to uncheck at installation so I was able to install just the Movie Maker program.
Well said.
I have made the computing equivalent decision of getting a sidearm and donning a steel chastity belt.
I have unplugged my Win XP PC from the internet.
I have set up a Linux Mint PC that can access the internet.
I have set them up with a KVM switch that sports a small button that switches them between one monitor/keyboard/mouse/printer.
It works like a charm. WinXP box for all those programs and utilities I have grown accustomed to over the years and the Linux box for email and internet...and possibly other things over time.
Not another nickel to Microsoft for me.
