Windows 10

[NightWolve]

I have 2 Windows 8.1 tablets that can be upgraded and I will do it. It's always been fun to see what new bugs features Microsoft has in store for us next.

I upgraded my desktop from Win 8 and it now runs like a proper modern computer (webpages now load instantly, like on my freaking phone).

Does it just update from the Windows Update panel, or are you forcing the update somehow?

Windows 8 was fine. People are whiny and just like to use MS as a punching bag.

I've been using it at home and at my job since day of release and literally have only had one blue screen.

That being said I'm waiting to back up all my shit before running that upgrade to 10 - I trust no one

Alright, I forced the update and now I'm posting from Windows 10
So far so good. 

I too had no issues with 8.1  --- in worked great on my Surface Pro 3 and this new version is just more of the same, only better.

8 was shite, forcing a mobile/table OS on people...Metro is unusable flat panel garbage, 8.1 made 8* a lot more tolerable. the proof that 8 was garbage is how scaled down Metro is in 10, it's like an afterthought and easily hidden and done away with.

 That said, 10 is nice so far, at least performance wise.

Yeah, but it's not like they force you into that interface. I just saw it as a minor annoyance.

I get what they were going after with Metro but I think they were banking on Tablet computing replacing desktop computing at a faster rate than it did.

Not really.  Metro did help bridge the gap for a hybrid PC/Tablet OS.  It was an experiment, but I found it to be rather useful and intuitive on the Surface.

I have no speed issues with 7.  Cold start to desktop in less then a minute and everything is fast and snappy.  Having an SSD does help quite a bit though.

It's worse on Server 2012, they somehow thought it was a great idea to base it off Windows 8. I'll probably wait until this weekend before I make the plunge..

If you think 7 is fast, you are in for a treat lol

I backed up my 7 installed and did the upgrade to 10.  Seems to be ok though honestly I kind of prefer the look of windows 7 aero instead of the flat matte utilitarian look of 8/10.  Overall they didn't seem to break too much or remove access to too much stuff so it should be ok.

They were also hoping the interface familiarity would help resuscitate the dying Windows mobile market.

Heh, go f*ck yourself.

  I still use Windows 98 ( to play Army Men II and I haven't got a reason to upgrade so yeah.. ).
