Your Take On Windows 10 (And 8)

No... They are hoping the public has forgotten the role of software in a computer system. Which wasn't hard, most never knew to begin with.

 

Once upon a time Bill Gaytes said nobody was gonna need 32-bit CPUs and that we would stay with 16-bit CPUs forever. And what happened? Today we have 64-bit processors... Vista was supposed to be the last Windows ever and yet today there's Windows 10.
So don't believe everything Microsoft says. If the market and the users say otherwise, they won't have much of a choise unless to try and fix the mistakes they did with Windows 10. Besides, with a free data stealing operating system Bill Gaytes can't stay billionaire for a long time and I know one thing about money - the more you have, the more you want. That is exactly what Microsoft is doing - anything in their power to gain more money.

 

I took on windows ten, and lost!

My friend kept saying no to update to ten...guess what, it took over the computer!
They now have windows ten...it was so funny!

 

A subscription service charging $7 or $10 a month from every installation running Windows makes a lot more money than a sale of one copy on each machine for $120 that gets used for years...

 

And while charging you so cheap, they steal your passwords, pin codes and bank accounts. There's a keylogger hard coded into the system. Enjoy your cheap OS...

 

I'm not using Win10....

 

Why watch Youtube for free when you could be paying $60 a year to watch Youtube through a crappy app... New "Windows Gold", just five dollars a month. And for 10 dollars a month, platinum members get 5 free crappy apps they don't really want each month. Why you'd have to be CRAZY to not want to PAY for FREE apps that you DON'T WANT!? Right!? Never going to see any online service like that form Microsoft are we?

 

I went from Windows 7 to Windows 10 so there isn't a whole lot of difference in my opinion. Aesthetically speaking anyway. I couldn't stand windows 8 and I think that is part of the reason they brought back a lot of windows 7 aspects

I waited until the last day. I spent two days fixing bugs and the said fuck this and went back to Win 7 (from 10).

Windows 10 is a fuck head

 

The general rule with MS is to at least wait a year or two for them to work out the bugs in anything.

Windows 7 is still relevant, Windows 8 was a disaster, Windows 10 has already fried many computers, and I'm waiting for them to work out the bugs.

The current problem is that the entire industry is migrating towards more analog scalar architectures in both programming and hardware. Intel has already stated that they need to redesign the basic computer architecture from the ground up which should become blatantly obvious in the next several years. When Intel's cannonlake and AMD's Zen are both on the market next year we should have a better idea of what's worthwhile buying, but there's a damned good reason why PC sales are currently sinking to the bottom. The next generation hardware will make current offerings look like outdated dinosaurs and within five years I expect something that blows everything out of the water. There are already optical chips and carbon nanotube chips that blow traditional silicon out of the water with theoretical peak speeds of up to 270 terabytes compared to the five gigabytes currently possible with overclocked silicon. The crap is hitting the fan and Intel has already fired a lot of people and announced they are getting out of the race to produce the fastest chips on the market. Its just part of their long term business plan because making money comes before anything.

 

If you have to use if over Linux, it's technically superior to Win 7 or 8. All the privacy stuff can be turned off, although it's nonsense that it's not off by default. Or at least an easy one click option to opt out of.

Linux is for lovers though. Mint Cinnamon 18 for me.

 

I suspect we'll see two more die shrinking's and fairly standard incremental performance increases before we see anything really exotic replace silicon. That being said, for most consumer purposes, the CPU is idle 99% of the time. CPU speed's aren't the biggest concern at the consumer standpoint, but will of course affect corporate computing and gaming.

 

That's my suspicion too, except we will see a dramatic leap by the usual standards beginning next year. Slapping a ton of cheap and ridiculously fast memory onto both cpu and gpu is currently about to make serious improvements. Intel and everyone else has already noted the bottom is falling out of the market and people require serious motivation to upgrade more often. They're skipping a node and going straight to the new ultra violet lithography they've invested in heavily because they know its about to become worthless all that much sooner. The same is happening with gpus with AMD's next dual gpu model coming out next year with over 18 teraflops of compute power. 24 are enough to run real time ray tracing in virtual reality even using inefficient digital approaches, while analog ones a thousand times more efficient should start coming on the market within three years. After that, at some point its down the rabbit hole somewhere over the rainbow and we should see dramatic new developments every few years for the next two decades or so. Really off-the-wall stuff like phonons and whatnot that can achieve over a million times the speed and efficiency of your current computer at roughly 270 terahertz or so and just stacked on top of each other any way you like to do whatever you want. For example, they've made antennas into a hard science now and should be able to put twenty radios and antennas on a single chip without any difficulty. They'll have to invent entirely new categories for chips that do it all, but a single chip at 270 terahertz means you won't need a gpu or multi-core anything because it can just run any program in a linear fashion. Improve the analog front end and backdoor and it will become social with anything in the neighborhood in ways nobody can predict.

 

Garbage. XP is still better, but I'll stick with Ubuntu.

 

Microsoft has fried so many computers with even its updates to windows 10. Google is getting ready to release its new android-chrome hybrid which could prove interesting, but more interesting than what's happening with the operating systems are changes in graphics and AI coming that will fundamentally change computing forever. Microsoft is currently attempting to restructure themselves as an AI company seeing which way the wind blows and Intel has even announced they are out of the race for the fastest chips and are restructuring as well. That means they've pretty much sucked the life out of the market for as long as they could and, finally, things might change for the better.

 

I had 8.1 and kept getting popups asking to update to Windows 10. And I passed on it.
So, one time I was relaxing listening to songs on Youtube, and the sunuvabitch automatically started downloading Windows 10, without my permission.

I have a 7 build halfway done, but have decided to get a custom Linux buildup. It is not in my nature to be controlled by Bill Gates' multibillionaire empire, nor anyone else.
I will have what I want, professional socialist bossyness be damned.

It's high time (lol) that big government and big business get the fuck out of our damn lives. And stay out.
