When I got the option to upgrade to windows 10, I did so immediately and I couldn't be happier. Everything works perfectly. :smug:

This is just speculation but maybe a lot of webpages have a ton of bloat because developers immediately hop into a web framework to do their dumb simple poo poo instead of "reinventing the wheel" (as they so call it)? Meaning that their dumb rear end framework adds a ton of bullshit that they don't need and never touch themselves because it looks fine to the end user. Instead of just typing out some simple loving code they entrust a bunch of dudes who are not them to write most of it for them by using their framework.

So after letting windows 7 update for 6 hours, it finally went through. Strangely the updater now tells me that it only took 1.5 hours. So I'm guessing all those other hours were used for refactoring poo poo or whatever.

But I can't change the color of the actual windows anymore, which I could on Win 7. What the gently caress?

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Windows 10 is like the aids it's easily foiled but persistant. If you are dumb or let down your guard one night suddenly WHAM you have the aids. Don't worry tho it's not terminal anymore.

I'm not so sure. One day we may widely have one work device (your phone) and plug it into a keyboard/mouse and monitor when you are at the office. However, there was so much pushback on Windows 8, that Microsoft pretty much reverted to a windows 7 interface for windows 10. There are a few remnants of win8, but really not that many, and you don't have to use any of them because the win 7 equivalents are there for you as well. That's how much people hated using a mobile interface with a mouse and keyboard. I think we will likely have a unified OS only with two separate interfaces that you can switch between.

well i'm dual booting and it's nice to have an os that doesn't constantly bug me about things, run things secretly in the background, have ads in the start menu, keep asking me to use cortana, etc

You can easily remove/disable all of this. If anyone wants, I can post a script to turn off all the win10 data collection poo poo. With just a little configuration, Windows 10 is solid and fast. I haven't crashed or had any problems since installing, or had any big desire to revert to windows 7.

I was using that until February when I bought Win 7 to upgrade to 10. Vista was great, very underrated. I only left because its End of Life forced me to. :rip:

I still have 7 a work, though. Our computer guys aren't thrilled with 8 or 10.

If Windows 10 is slow you're using a slow computer, I preferred windows 7 on my older machines but when I got a new PC windows 10 runs perfect and I prefer it. Windows 7 is 7 years old.

By this logic, Windows 8 was a success because goons (everyone) hated that too and Microsoft too thought they knew what they were doing.

windows occupies the bizarro universe, somehow; goons hate anything that becomes super popular, but because it's super popular to hate windows, the polarity flips and goons rag on anyone who hates windows even though windows is still one of the most popular OSes
