Windows 10

[$Money$]

Anyone know anything about this new version coming in July?
Just curious on how many bugs it will have at first or if it will effect my CSS play lol

[Core]

I would give it a couple of weeks before you update just to see what the bugs are and what the critics say about the system

[ZERO]

and by a few weeks more like a few months lol.

Ah yes update after update after update after update after update lol

[minjae]

OR...you could update Money, and keep us informed on how "well" your computer performs.

[$Money$]

[ZERO]

I think it will always be free as an upgrade for 7 and 8 users. New licenses and vista/xp users are the ones who would have to pay.
I would not mind putting it on this pentium e5300 I have here but I dont want to use my Dev copy on it, by the time I go back to school to my i7 it would have already come out. I like how this 5300 got a free upgrade to 7, and will now get the free upgrade to 10 though. Dont want to mess with my laptop though.
Hmm....

[StarsMine]

Used my Dev copy on my laptop. Like it so far, no real issues yet. Only thing was me being retarded in not triple checking that the files in c:\users were backed up.... damnit....

Lol pomf.

I was actually contemplating the migration of my laptop from Windows 8 to Ubuntu, because I went from 8 (OEM) to 7 Ultimate, then back to 8 because nothing functioned properly. Now I can't find OEM drivers, and there are no manufacturer builds of them either. Can't even install my graphics card (dedicated) because the card apparently doesn't even exist, and is strictly OEM.

Maybe I'll see what Windows 10 can whip up on it.

Jackass. I dont use linux for the sake of using linux and sticking it to the man.


Yea whitey, OEM laptop drivers are why I avoid some laptop brands. fuck lenovo. Why would you make the drivers proprietary?

[pomf]

use arch it's not a botnet and respects your freedoms

[pomf]

pretty good tbh

I just got aids from Windows 10.

[CYBER]

I just got aids from Windows 10.

If that is truly the case, you might see me buying the full version for a whole fuckton of ppl around here..

[$Money$]

Just read this today:
Since launching nine days ago Windows Update has sent out an unstable graphics driver which switched off monitors, a buggy security patch which corrupted Windows Explorer and there are now widespread reports that a third update is causing Window 10 machines to crash over and over again…

Any updates?

[StarsMine]

I have had none of those issues, and I installed it on a computer with a fermi gpu, dual core dimondville atom(I think it is... I dont use it) and its integrated gpu..... And an llano a6.

I crashed explorer once, dont think they had to do with a security patch. crasing explorer has always been a minimal issue anyways since I just use run to start explorer.exe

Homegroup has been interesting for me, My education copy, or rather the school I tied it to wont allow other computers to see my homegroup files, just let me see the others. :/ I could just change to pro though and fix that I suppose.

[Steamer]

Running great on one of the laptops. Much preferred over 8.1. I also disabled auto update at install.

[$Money$]

Just updated it myself :wtg:

[Joker]

I was thinking about putting it on my desktop, but then I was like if I did that and something went wrong I would be fucked. I'm just waiting for a little longer

Windows itself (any version) is not covered under the Microsoft Services EULA, and virtually all of the services covered are applicable to any version of Windows (or any other OS utilizing Microsoft services for that matter).

I'm not saying I'm installing Windows 10, because I've never installed a new OS on release. And there are other issues with Windows 10 (mandatory unscheduled updates, lack of any reason whatsoever to upgrade over Windows 7, etc.). This just isn't one of those issues.

Thats not the Eula zero, thats for things like xbox live or one drive.

Alslo if you have anything other than win 10 home (which anyone here should because we aren't completely retarded) you can choose which options to turn on and off, including updates received.

[StarsMine]

Last I heard they were changing that on home after all the outcry, not that I use home though. Not something I pay attention to. Running edu on laptop, pro on desktop.

[Assassin]

yeah all pro all the way...never would use home.

[swagbot 9k]

Just installed windows 10 Home. Not bad as this laptop is nothing more than a mule for school and WoW. Just getting used to it as I went from from Win7 to 8.1 for two weeks, to this lol. I much much prefer it over 8.

[Tickle Me Emo]

Alslo if you have anything other than win 10 home (which anyone here should because we aren't completely retarded) you can choose which options to turn on and off, including updates received.

I use Win 7 Home because there's absolutely nothing wrong with it and I don't have any need for any of the features of Pro or Ultimate, so there was no point in paying more. It's only a problem now because if I were to upgrade to Win 10 for free, it'd be Home, and thus complete shit, because fuck Win 7 Home users apparently.

I'm hoping they change a lot of things on Win 10 Home. I intend to get the free upgrade before the one-year window is up. It'd be nice if I could actually use it at that point.

I do remember seeing something about a discounted upgrade option from Home to Pro for Win 10, but there were no details (pricing is important). That's a possible option.

[Joker]

I updated 2 test systems I have at work to it and haven't really had any problems, but I'm waiting to upgrade my home PC.

You could also follow these steps and hope for the best: https://fix10.isleaked.com/

Also note that this would not help you use websites or services that have banned windows 10 users.

Dead serious, all those news outlets failed to research before they posted, they used each other as sources instead of lookint at what they were talking about. Many of them have gone and put out new articles about how their previous (the ones you linked) are wrong, but they dont have a system to redact old articles. Windows 10 would get sued so hard if they actually had that clause in the EULA of windows 10. You can use windows 10 without useing windows services like the xbox client or the windows store, which I had no plans of using anyways. I have also had the pleasure of using edu edition that does not let anyone ping it (at least with the settings my school set up). Any computer outside of the school network can not see my laptop.

[Passarelli]

Stars is correct, however the real EULA ("https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Useterms/Retail/Windows/10/UseTerms_Retail_Windows_10_English.htm)and privacy statement ("https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement/) isn't any better.

[Tickle Me Emo]

Yes, that many idiotic "journalists" failed to do the most basic of research, like actually reading the policy that they were quoting. Coming from someone trained in research and analysis, do not trust anything that the media says. They will state questionable information from the shakiest of sources as absolute fact without any vetting or verification. If you want factual truth, find it yourself.

I went ahead and read through the Windows 10 EULA Passarelli posted, I'm not sure what makes it bad? Other than the automatic updates without notification clause, I didn't see anything unexpected or non-standard (i.e. unique to Windows 10).

The privacy statement applies to essentially all MS products, so I don't think that's relevant to the specific Windows 10 conversation, even if there may be valid concerns about it (I don't know, honestly).

[swagbot 9k]

Honestly we are so sucked into privacy for no reason. If someone wanted the information whether is collective group or government, they can get it.

[$Money$]

Hell with it, back to windows 8

[swagbot 9k]

I just went back to 8. Fucking idk if it's because of Lenovo's bullshit bloatware or because windows 10 has the intelligence of a potato loving tard but I could not get my iphone to recognize on itunes. I tried every solution people from both apple and microsoft gave and they did nothing. Also, I have a strong stance about basic shit not working. All it came down to was Windows 10 straight up ignored Apples mobile device USB driver. No way for Windows to even acknowledge its existence. So I said fuck it. Along with the shit battery life 10 gave me, I went back to 8. While its still meh (I want 7 back) it's a hell of a lot more stable than that garbage.

[Steamer]

Running great. I assure you, if someone wants information from or about you enough they will have it. We seem to live in an overly paranoid and offensive state. It's not always a bad thing, but too much of something isn't always a good thing.
