And yet it sometimes seems the jury is still out on Windows 10....
Just found ut last week that my workplace is getting new Win10 PCs in the coming weeks.
I was quite shocked as out IT is very conservative on what they use, and only in special cases even allow Macs or Linux machines.
I guess they said “screw it” and will leap to current.
Will be interesting to see how they are configured.
FU, Mr. Softee.
I love my Windows 7, hate the 8 that my wife has, and will NOT migrate to 10.
Again, FU, Mr. Softee.
Classic Shell works pretty good to make Windows 10 look and act like Windows 7.
What does “downgraded” Win7 —> Win10 really mean, on a new unit purchase?
I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 Professional on my PC. Don’t intend to move to Windows 10 until absolutely necessary.
Everything you do on Windows 10 is sent to the NSA.
This action was mandated by Obama back in 2012 under the guise of national security, which is why you see Microsoft pushing Windows 10 so bad.
They are not allowed (by court order) to disclose this information to the public. It also allows homeland security a back door access to ANY Window 10 machine. It is built into the OS kernel.
I tried 10 for about 1 week last year, and it was crap. If I went with it, I would lose several software programs that do not have 10 equivalents. Those software programs are more important than the glitz and glitter of 10.
I will baby my Win7 laptop and desktop as long as possible.
Several weeks ago, I bought a Linux Mint laptop. I have played around with it some, but generally Linux is way behind Windows for productive usability. It doesn’t have equivalents for many Windows utilities and the WINE has recognized only one Windows program, so far. WINE partially loads some others, but ‘partial’ does not help. I am not familiar enough with VM to try that yet. Linux still is more of a hobbyist OS. Even many of the ‘instructions’ and tutorials are poor.
Ive been done with microsquish a long time ago.
I’ve switched two of my three computers to Peppermint LINUX and will figure something to do with the third before ever switching it to Win 10. Peppermint LINUX will make most people forget about Windows and microsoft.
THANK GOD! Like it’s server-side analog, Server 2008, I’m thankful for this revelation.
Don’t care what the naysayers will grouse, Win 7 and earlier are a pain in the ass to support. With Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2, I have full control of my environment with PowerShell in a way that I couldn’t get on previous OS without a good deal of work.
I physically wince when I have to log into a Win7 or 2008 machine now. The experience is just not as quick and smooth as the more contemporary operating environments.
