NSA ordered them to get everybody on Windows 10 so they can monitor everything they do.
Ever get the feeling that we are just cattle to be sent to slaughter? What made MS great was the fact that they supported their OSs for many years unlike Apple.
Linux is looking morre and more compelling. Nice to have that option.
I wonder if Microsoft has opened it self up to law suit over tech support..businesses make decisions on what computers to buy based on how long tech support is expected
Ping...
Microsoft is trash. I hate them. I hate this. But I’m stuck using their trash. This new windows 10 is going to cost me nearly 10k in upgraded...EVERYTHING by the time this is done. All my engineering software needs to be upgraded. All my CNC software needs to be upgraded. The software companies won’t support the older stuff so guess what. New hardware, required windows 10 to keep current on the software I use.
THEN. To really insult the end user you can not turn off auto update with Windows 10. I was sitting working away on an in depth design engineering project when all of a sudden “WINDOWS IS UPGRADING” It gives no option to postpone or cancel. It gave no warning. It just closed all my open windows and downloaded for about 1 hour and I lost what wasn’t saved. There was no way to escape from this. What if I am sitting in a board room somewhere with clients? Complete and total trash. The only option you have now is to receive a warning before it auto updates and reboots.
One of my CNC controllers is infested with that god awful GWX.exe windows 10 nag screen. It no longer even asks if you want the windows 10. It says “Start upgrading now or wait until later.” I’ve gone so far as to have to write a script that gets that “Get Windows 10” crap but it still gets through.
I’m glad I have a stack of old notebooks that are off line but the nature of the software I use and the products I produce I’m forced to use Microsoft’s terrible crap OS. A curse on you Bill Gates.
Intel Skylake CPUs are powering basically every midrange and high end notebook made in the last few years up to today’s date. Even if it’s a MacBook Pro.
I won’t say what I’ve got on my mind because it’ll sound like smarmy Apple fanboy crowing and I don’t intend to start any purse fights over platform preferences. I’ll let the readers of this article read between the lines and draw their own conclusions.
Well, maybe the update business to Win 10 is not working as intended.....
I'm typing this on a newly set up Dell Optiplex 760 all loaded up and running Linux Mint. Cost me 75 bucks with 2 large hard drives.
I don't expect to ever buy one of these Fascist inspired CPU machines ever. MS can kiss me arse.
Oh yeah...here's my desktop:
Sounds like Microsoft is getting desperate. Way to win over people Microsoft.
