Sir, you're an idiot.
But I understand; you perform a function, you're part of a plan and you never feel lonely.
I understand but cannot accept;
Sir, I despise you.

Right now I think you Joss are out of order. He hasent said anything wrong by all means, and you are on the attack right away. Us who are happy with win 10 might say the same to you about win 7/8/8.1, since all 3 are obsolete, Sir.

Haters gonna hate. Been using 10 since August. I had my fair share of problems. But now I can honestly say this is by far the best OS that I've used.

Sir, YOU are the idiot! Get off your high horse and step into reality. Been building customs PCs for 20 years, and can tell you Windows 10 trumps 7/8.1 in every way! If you have issues, it's YOUR fault, NOT Microsoft's!

The ONLY version of Windows that has not been superior to the previous version would be the transition from XP to Vista, and we all know who we can blame for that monstrosity!

.....I try my best to forget! But that really wasn't a total update from W98 rather an afterthought that bombed big time. IMO ME should have been W98 service pack as it's life was cut short by XP. Ugh....speaking of W98..... :p

I concur, Windows 10 so far is as stable, as fast, lean, and 98% as user friendly to me as windows 7, which is and has been a pinnacle for how good an operating system can be, but it too had its weaknesses.


Vista was a new attempt, and the hardware manufacturers as well as MS are to blame for a premature release of a get it to market and fix it later attitude.

thats always been a option to turn off
you are misinformed (as are a lot of people)
http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/stop-automatic-driver-updates-windows-10
system going down for the update now will report back

hmmm... will try later with another hard drive.... but i swear that thing didnt work in 10240, nor did in insider 105somethingidontremember <.<

MEMORY COME TO ME!....

aaaahhh yeah, i also did not like how the new recovery works, especially when in Insider, that things keeps doing windows.old backups and with each insider update does new ones, and some other shit going on background... too much for me, and my ssd, liking.

So, can the recovery be disabled to stop Windows from making this windows.old?? If it can be done you may convince me to go win10 again.

I might as well try to get rid of all the modern ui, unless devs jump in and prove that thing is useful for something -.- which is not happening so far *cough*

if one only uses native win32 applications and configuration changes are not done daily then 8/8.1 is as performant as 10. but if metro applications are involved than 10 is way better. its not that hard to beat 7, 8 does it, hell, even xp does it if intensive dib/gdi drawing applications are used.

i agree with everyone else here you don't seem to have a clue

never seen anything of the sort on any of the machines iv tested w10 on
so you either a: did something wrong b: have a device that's not compatiable which given the age of the systems listed in your profile would not surprise me

I have. There was a major bug in one of the prerelease updates that caused a BSOD boot loop on restart. Heaps of people had it.

I have. There was a major bug in the prerelease that caused a TCIP.sys BSOD boot loop. It was due to a buggy NIC driver.
Update said NIC driver?

Yep, how'd you guess? :p
Was due to a Qualcomm driver..

Notice you said "never seen anything of the sort on any of the machines iv tested w10 on"

You're right, stupid users are stupid. You didn't see the bug because you didn't test W10.

Alot of windows 7 users cant let go their OS's. I cant blame them as windows 7 is very stable.

Been using windows 10 since it was first beta. But I didnt really concentrate in bug testing. But, I have been using windows 10 since Aug 10. Changed all my workstations including laptop. Sure there are still some minor bugs. But I dont experience much of crashes since then.

Overall, I like windows 10. It integrates windows 7/windows 8.

I've been happy with Windows 10, and it's been pretty solid on my machines. I've disabled the updates recently in 10 but I'm thinking to let it update now that there's this. Then disable again thereafter if I feel so inclined.
