I love windows 10 because of Universal Windows Apps™.
It's just so easy, you just write the apps once and they run on windows 10, windows mobile phones, xbox and hololens. Visual studio™makes creating a beautiful interface just a breeze and Windows live tiles have been proven to increase user engagement by up to 76%. The windows store platform make it easy to monetize your investment. There are plenty of exciting new things to love in Windows 10.

I don't like windows 10 because I get performance issues with it. It runs much worse than 7 and i get mouse lag issues that I never had with 7. Its a bloated piece of crap.

That's my windows 10 story

For quite some time, I've had this heartfelt wish - that the people responsible for the UI choices in Windows 8 and Windows 10 should be put in cages, where people could poo poo and piss on them to their hearts content.

After all, they've forced digital feces onto so many of us, so I only think it fair that they should be forced to endure some payback.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

:snod:

Command line Linux is for real people

i left my pc running all day and when i came back in the evening, it had closed all of my programs and restarted itself. i lost some semi-important work and some very funny and/or interesing tabs i was still planning to read. this was the 4th time that this has happened to me already. :chloe:

how is this possible? how can anyone think that this is a good idea? somewhere in this world there must be companies that lost countless amounts of money because of workstations just randomly dumping all the work and restarting themselves, while someone is on a coffee break. HOW? how can you think that this is a good idea?

corporate workstations don't update the same way home PCs do.

Also in Win10 options, you can choose to have updates notify you to schedule a restart time, instead of automatic installing/restarting. And you can defer upgrades with Win10 Pro.

Windows 10 is fine. And I use and deploy both for work by the hundreds per quarter so my opinion matters more than yours.


All the work related and important menus, dialogs, settings, and compatibilities are there. There is practically nothing to complain about anymore and youre a huge crybaby if you do

that notification is totally useless, it pops up shortly before the restart and while you can defer it for a couple of hours, god have mercy on your soul if you forget that it is hanging over your head and go get a coffee or work on something. if you are not paying attention, it WILL force a restart and dump all your work, sooner or later.

also, deferring updates doesn't change anything to solve the problem, it just reduces the frequency of this bullshit happening.

i feel so violated that my computer is doing thing against my will and loving with my work for no good reason at all. i would have shut it down in the evening anyway. i feel like i'm not in control of my own technology and that it is abused by an incompetent corporation to hurt me.

As a Windows 10 pauper edition user you are the beta tester for all updates. When they are proven to work and all the bugs are worked out corporations might roll them on in 3 months or so at a time of their own choosing. Thanks for the hard work.

A woman successfully sued Microsoft over this. She told her computer not to update to Windows 10 and it did it anyway, restarted on its own, and completely hosed her business for like a week.

It's one of the greatest OS' ever created. It's so good and fast and smart that it's hard to explain to someone who can't really "get under the hood" because they don't work for Microsoft.
