Given the Games for Windows Live debacle, any game worth playing won't be made with Microsoft bullshit that isn't free and downloadable.

I find it obnoxious because it oh so helpfully wants to integrate ALL of my online activity into its windows login experience. Like, no Bill, I keep separate accounts and passwords for a loving reason (to hide my crippling porn addiction).

everdave posted:i didn't see it posted but you can search for gwx control panel windows 10 on google and download a small program that will disable the upgrade and delete all the files for win 10 it doesn't matter, microsoft is bundling Windows 10 spyware into critical security update for windows 7 & 8. you can get windows 10, or you can opt out and get the spyware anyway. the only option is to disable security updates entirely, or switch to Linux i guess

its slightly faster and you cant beat the price. also includes directx 12 and soon bash all the actually obnoxious stuff you turn off when you install it. the rest of it is literally nothing and trust me you arent important enough to matter

paul_soccer10 posted:windows 10 literally has zero advantages over windows 7 Qft I have enough poo poo to deal with in my life without having to transition to a new OS for no reason. Win7 is great--there is no reason for me to change. It would just be another hassle, and I have enough BS to deal with as it is. Nothing to do with being a Luddite (though I can feel myself moving in that direction as I get older). Seriously, what fantastic new technology in Win10 are Luddites missing out on? More convienient ad placement?

Cant I just download those drivers, or are they not making it for 7? And all the while I have to deal with the stupid aesthetic changes to the UI. Using Win8 at work is painful; glad I only need to use it sparingly.

I bought a pro licence super cheap months ago as I know I will have to upgrade eventually. Tried Win10 Home for free the week it came out on a 7 upgrade, had 2 major issues, one minor: 1) The automatic push updates when it feels like it is utterly, utterly loving retarded. I want to control when and what you update you fucks. I don't want MS deciding now is a good time to download a 100mb patch when I'm already downIoading, or in the middle of something. I want full control over my system resources. I fully understand why MS want this and why it is good for 95% of all users, but at least make it possible to selectively choose when and which updates are downloaded, even if it is super convoluted. I don't like having to gently caress around disabling services to stop updates alltogether, then the only way to get the updates I want at a later stage is at the macro level because windows will then download all previous updates once I re-enable the service(s), whether I want them or not. 1b) (Related to 1) It updated my Nvidia graphics driver to a broken version, and every time I rolled back manually, it helpfully updated them again. THis just made me go back to W7, remove all the Windows 10 notification stuff, and delete the Win10 files it had downloaded for the upgrade. Windows 10 hasn't bothered with any notifications about it's existance or upgrades since July 2015. 2) Minor, but I miss the aero interface. A lot of the time I have poo poo running in the back ground and working with a maximised window. I can see when the app behind changes through the title bar of the foreground app. I will have to upgrade eventually just for DX12, but I won't be doing any sort of work on it anymore, even on a pro licence as deferred upgrades are not good enough. Rutibex posted:the enterprise edition of windows 10 has all of the spyware disabled for real (because they actually respect their business customers I guess). if you want to upgrade then i suggest you "obtain" a copy of that instead of getting their free upgrade Oh yeah I didn't even think about that part...was too pissed off with it when I tried. Will acquire a copy from work.

Even small businesses can gently caress right off.

I really don't care about the privacy stuff unless it's accessible to laypeople (like w facebook). Google already does that and its improved my service What really chapped my rear end was them comandeering my computer remotely and upgrading it when I had made it clear that I wanted no part of Windows 10

I fully expect windows 10 to become a subscription service once Microsoft believes that enough people have switched and won't go back to older versions.
