LastInLine posted:might as well ask here since it just came up and ive been wondering about it there's certainly plenty of computer touchers who love to upgrade linux constantly as if they have nothing else to do with the computer. but there are also touchers who do have something else to do, and are working on problems that have enough technical subtlety that an arbitrary upgrade could set them back. So they prefer not to upgrade, and I don't see why this is surprising. Gazpacho fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Jun 4, 2018 |

People hated going from xp to Vista, and rightfully so, it sucked poo poo. I don't recall a single person ever whining about Windows 7 even it when it first came out. peeps in this thread are revising history people complained about windows 8 because, like Vista, it sucked poo poo. This isn't much of a phenomenon to be confused by Windows 10 is way better than 8 but still has a ton of annoyances, and people who went right from 7 to 10 (because 8 sucked poo poo) are just the same complaints but now from people who went from 7 to 10 and smartly didn't bother with 8 at all (because it sucked poo poo)

i wonder if there are any weirdos out there still desperately clinging to windows xp and their pile of carefully assembled tweaks, addons, janky windows customization software, visual styles, and application skins. running crap like winxp x64 or some embedded version.

When i was setting up my make cabinet a few months ago one of the forums warned that mame will stop supporting XP in like 2020 or something lol I mean it's a little more understandable on an arcade machine but really anything that isn't compatible on 7 isn't compatible on XP

this owns sorry if it enrages you  edit: just for shits and giggles I just tried to go to an Administrative Tool entry (Task Scheduler). In classicshell I click start and just point my arrow over to control panel and Admin tools and never leave the start screen and never have to click anything except Task Scheduler in the normal win10 start menu I have to go to the control panel, which opens a window, then Administrative Tools, which opens another window, and then Task Scheduler. Then i have to close these two windows after i'm done

stop defending windows 10, it is literally indefensible although the guy who made Classic Shell eventually got tired of trying to keep up with microsofts bullshit and dropped development of it, it's only a matter of time before it stops working entirely because of the windows 10 rolling feature upgrades. So if you're not already using it, it's probably better just learning to cope with what you have.
