Your Take On Windows 10 (And 8)

So, now that most everyone has upgraded to Windows 10, what are your thoughts on it?

And if you had or still have Windows 8, what do you think in contrast to earlier operating systems?

 

Personally, I'm sticking with WIndows 7. Unless it provides some sort of limitation to RAM or processor usage once I get around to building my own rig.

 

mine has always worked fine..no complaints

 

tired of the little icons on the right corner popping up. Try Office , Try Mcaffe, Try shutting the thing off and cant!!!!
suffered one crash because the avg anti virus wanted to shut down and restart and I said NO!!! took 4hours for the windows to be reinstalled.
hate all the advertising crap on the start , I dont needs no netflix app, or amazon app or fakebook app, priceline or any of that junk.

 

I tried ten for a couple of weeks but went back to Win 7
10 looks great at first but offers nothing in real terms as an improvement its also BOSSY if an operating system can be described that way oliceman:

 

thats odd

i just got the one pop up thing after install ...i clicked no because i dont give a shit how most of the crap works and its been just fine

and my install took about 20 minutes..i also use avg free (and malwarebytes and spybot and ccleaner)..theres also lots of blockers in my browser (i use comodo dragon mainly)

 

I keep getting the Windows 10 update prompt to upgrade for free lol !!

Windows 8.1 runs very smoothly indeed, doesn't crash and runs super fast to, it's certainly on par with Windows 7.

 

I would suggest Avast free instead of Windows defender.

Sticking with Win 7 and Linux Mint 17.

 

I use MalwareBytes premium. It's great.

 

I don't use any dedicated anti-virus programs. Only CCleaner, Cleanup v4.5.2, and IObit products. I haven't dealt with a legitimate virus since like... 2006? I feel anti-virus programs are unneccessary and haven't yet run into any problems without one. Then again, I don't visit shady websites and my web browser prevents me from visiting questionable sites. I do plenty of downloading, even some that have been reported as 'badware'? But those are usually just from ancient websites

 

Not a big fan of 8 and not in a rush to try 10. I'm running 8 on my laptop and Vista on my desktop, no significant problems. Does 10 bring back the Start button? Don't like that about 8.

 

I think the main thing to see about windows 8 and 10 is the start menu. Windows 8 did not really feature a start menu. It tried something new. I sort of liked and appreciated that. Despite having liked 8 I have moved on to 10 and I don't think I like it as much.

 

Win7 here... I will NOT go with Windows 10.

 

That shit would drive me fucking nuts.

All of these "upgrades" seem to be mainly about shoving the corporate probe further up your ass rather than offering users any real improvement.

 

The thing that pisses me off even more is the fact that they typically try to pretend that it's not about making money, instead it's something like, "We're offering products and services that you may enjoy as part of out commitment to delivering the best consumer experience possible".
