That article makes it sound a bit Orwellian. Not conducive to relieving the grumps.

 

Thanks a million! Chewing gum kept falling off and getting tangled up in the mouse cord.
Don't you just hate it when vendors slap their carp on the screen without a by-your-leave?

 

What if I put my tinfoil hat on and say it is a Free Upgrade cause the NSA is paying for the upgrades...gotta make it simpler for the government to hack...they paid RSA to install bad crypto, why not Microsoft?
They want us all to have a backdoor!!

 

Good idea. Luddites unite! Lets meet behind Stumpy's tavern and shoot dice for bottle caps.

Into Windows

 

I think that's the issue, the technology developed today is not given time to mature to fix all the bugs and issues before the developers/competitors come up with something new.
Look at Windows vista; probably not the best example but basically windows 7 is Vista without the issues and a new name which helps to drive money for the industry.
Windows 95, XP and 7 are my top choices. I never really gave Win 8 a chance, but then again, i use a mac.

Just my $0.02

 

New a guy back in the '80s would look at the new 16K DOS hardware, say he'd think about it maybe wait for the next version. Never did buy one. Think he did pop for a bag phone though.

 

Yeah, you need to try the new-fangled Razr! Party like it's 2005!

 

There's always Linux.

I had a Linux computer a couple of years ago it worked pretty well, then I upgraded to a newer distribution of it and it was so different from the one I was used to that I couldn't even figure out how to log in. Maybe the newest versions are less geeky.

 

Right click the bar near the icon, select 'properties' then 'customize' look for the icon on the list (should be at the top) then in the drop down select 'hide icon and notification' then okay....ALL GONE...actually just hiding.

 

Excellent link Steve,

I can't agree more with that statement, sounds like Microsoft wants more control over how your computer updates! I don't trust Microsoft after reading this article! Anyone remember all the failed updates for printers and or drivers on Windows 8? I do, several trips to mother's house to fix it. What choice did she have, it's not like she could get a Laptop with Windows 7 at the time.

While I'm sure casual every day users might find a liking to Windows 10, in my case I'm not so sure. I'm also a hard core gamer and modify games files heavily to make the game look and run 100 times better than it looks in unaltered form (Skyrim, go ahead click on picture and move the green slider from left to right. :biggrin5, so I can't afford to screw it up for an upgrade that will have how many issues with driver updates and the way I alter game files? No Way, just No! Let someone else be the guinea pig! :biggrin5:
