Sorry going to have to speak for yourself on Windows 8. I never had a problem with it and was always faster than 7 so I didn't get what all the hubbub was about.
As for Cortana, if my family catch me talking to the computer they will have me put in a home.
I guess I'll be sticking to Windows 7...
If you can't bother to create an account when making stupid critique comments then don't bother writing. Everything you guys wrote as "guests" is wrong and it's mostly because of misconceptions or misinformation.
All people need to know is that windows 10 is better than win 7/8 even if it's not exactly perfect. If you don't want all of the new features and performance improvements because you don't like the colors of the UI then you have some pretty serious "issues".
One thing I hate about Windows 10 is the way Windows update is forced to be on. I like it disabled so that I can check for updates when it's the right time. Fortunately there is a well hidden way to configure it in the Group Policy. Search Google if you want to know the way to do it.
Not to give bing and ms my data.just look at the guest above me... he is complaining about bing and MS getting his data. why the hell is he even using the internet..
The code is not open for review, it's altered without user oversight (forced updates), its permanently hooked into their cloud when online.underlying code kept secret? remote controlled? ads? spying? etc - does he like stupid conspiracy theories?
I'm a windows user, ive had to put up with and fight against this $hit to retain control. I know some of whats in there because of having to waste time digging out and disabling crap.it's why I keep saying that these "haters" are usually too stupid to actually research what they are writing about.
Hmm?.. everything there is recorded by someone .. stupid conspiracy theories?
Automatic updates are mandatory on the "Home" version, but updates are not mandatory on the "Pro" version.Nothing you wrote about is of interest to me. It may be a great OS to folks that are interested in the "features" you described. Soon as they get rid of automatic updates I will give it a try.
Use the control panel you preferWhen you need two control panels to change settings you know there's a problem...
When you're installing phone Apps onto your desktop you know there's a problem...
When you search dev and nothing related to device manager comes up you know there's a problem...
When the search engine fails to find what your looking for locally but instead searches the internet instead you know there's a problem...
Other than DX12 there really is no benefit to Win10, boot times are practically identical via SSD. It's also better just using sleep mode anyways.
I don't think so at all. When I was running the Technical Preview full time I had the Windows 10 Start Menu all set up with all of the programs and apps that I use the most all pinned to my Windows 10 Start Menu. In all I had almost 20 to 25 different programs and icons conveniently pinned to the menu. When all was said and done I sat back, looked at it and said to myself...No I don't call it an abomination because of the colors but because of the horrible functionality. When people said they wanted the Start Menu back they meant the one from Windows 7 and earlier; instead Microsoft took the Metro start screen, shrunk it down, and said here you go. It's a disaster.
This attitude is borderline neanderthal at this point.
You know what, fine. Stick to Windows 7! Enjoy the lack of features and speed, and be left in the dust. Did you not read the review, which described in detail how Windows 10 is better in every possible way than Windows 7?
Can't wait to upgrade all my PCs on Wednesday. Meanwhile I'm off to do some more facepalming.
