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.

This. I'm convinced a lot of the Windows new version hate is bandwagon'd because people think it makes them sound like they have cool tech insights. When I was still a bench tech I would get 60 year old guys bragging about how they had downgraded their OEM Windows 7 license to a pirated copy of XP because it was "way better" or "got rid of all the junk" without any knowledge of what they had done/what this meant. I can't wait until 12 comes out and everyone is in a big push to buy old Windows 10 machines because "evil MS is forcing their hand again".

I'm really hoping that by the time Windows 7 is no longer receiving security patches those Roku/whatever smart TV boxes get good enough that I don't feel the need to have a real PC connected to my TV. My gaming PC still has Windows 7 on it but this spring I decided that video games are stupid and I think I've turned that on for about 8 hours total since April and that was because I was sick and kinda wanted to play GTA. Combine that with hopefully leaving my IT job for something that doesn't involve sitting in an office in the next year or three and hopefully I'll never have to deal with Windows 10.

I do have 10 on my two computers I have for hosting game servers but I think those are on a shelf in my basement collecting dust and mouse poo poo. Hell, it's possible that trying to use Windows 10 computers as dedicated servers is what finally made me detest computers.

If your house has a sewer backup so bad the insurance company insists you bulldoze your house and start over you're tearing it down and rebuilding it. You're not just building it. Same thing with formatting and reformatting.

In this case, installing Windows 10 is the computer equivalent of the mother of all sewer backups.

here's a minor annoyance that you could fix in windows 7 by unchecking a box or clicking a button

now you get to go through a multi-step process which involves downloading a third party program all of which will probably get hosed in a future update

i dunno when 7 came out pretty much everyone agreed it fixed most of the problems vista had and the few issues left had fairly simple workarounds

there were probably a few idiots who wouldn't give up xp but it was fairly universally agreed 7 was decent as far as windows goes

Win 10 is fine I use it on my home PC, laptop and work PC and all of our development VMs run it and I'm a software developer so if anyone is going to encounter a problem, or something it can't do or whatever it's probably me.

Format is an olde term meaning to configure a volume for a specific filesystem. I actually delete all the partitions and let windows figure it out, I never specifically format a system disk

7 was fine other than whatever patch broke Windows Update so it would take hours to fetch the list of available updates or just get stuck forever

I updated to 10 on the last day it was free because there's eventually going to be some game I want that requires DX12 and I only paid $30 for Win7 pro because I had a college email, and gently caress paying for OS upgrades

if I didn't have pro I would have immediately uninstalled because it's really lovely to have your OS randomly max out your bandwidth for some huge patch while you're trying to play a game or watch netflix. the focus-stealing popup notifications with pro and the appropriate group policy edits are still loving annoying but at least that only takes a few seconds to click the thing and alt-tab back to what you were doing instead of god knows how long to download the thing.


I also would have immediately uninstalled if win10 had the fullscreen windows key bullshit from Server 2012 instead of a normal start menu. I have to deal with that at work sometimes, it's poo poo and literally everyone I've ever talked to about it also thinks it's poo poo.
