Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
I've loved 8.1 since I got it, and I've found that I'm actually much more efficient in it. Some of the touch interface, I like. Other bits don't quite fit, but can be ignored about as easily as Windows Media Player could in the past (I'm looking exclusively at you, default start screen) the the change of a few simple… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
Thinking of going back to Yosemite. Did a clean install of Mavericks, but stability wise it's worse. The UI is also not very well thought out. The flatness makes it hard to read UI elements and turning on the assistive features makes it ugly. The font also doesn't match older apps. I find it harder to read than the old OS… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
I was a fairly big windows 8 hater until it came on a surface pro I purchased. Still hated it...and then discovered that once you add Classic Shell or any other start menu application... everything suddenly got better. Now I love 8, its on all my PCs and I cant imagine going back to 7. There's a kind of polish that exist… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
Pancakes : it has nothing to do with handling change, but everything to do with handling pointless changes. For instance, I know for a fact that on 7 I can fully disable any "Aero" effect in order to squeeze the best performance out of my GPU in CG apps and Photoshop at all times. With 8 relying so heavily on accelerated… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
I don't really get all the fuss. Sure the sneaky upgrade reminder was annoying for people who were not ready to upgrade, but 10 is already a better OS than 8.1 and regular updates are bringing substantial and useful changes. The same version of the OS for everybody would mean better support, better updates, better… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
Tried out the Win 10 Tech Preview on an old Macbook Air result wasn't pretty. I'm sure the bugs will get ironed out eventually. On my Mac Mini it runs OK. (no insane overheating issues) but I can't stand the sluggish start menu. It keeps on trying to load up search results from the internet which might be the problem. The… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
Don't simply upgrade. Either make a complete clean setup or stick with Windows 7. I did try it out after the BS they pulled of that by closing the update window you automatically scheduled an update date. It was a mess. My Wacom drivers became as instable as ever before, analog head phones didn't turn off my sound… -

What are your thoughts on CNIL's formal notice to MS re: data protection? https://www.cnil.fr/en/windows-10-cnil-publicly-serves-formal-notice-microsoft-corporation-comply-french-data-protection As for the whole "don't like it, don't use it" idea, I'm not sure that's a productive way to discuss technology of this…
