Windows7 is my OS, what's yours?

[Hnykill22]

Windows 7 until DX 12 becomes needed for games. no need to upgrade until then. Driving a i7 5820K @ 4.4 Ghz, Palit Gtx 1070 and 16GB Quad DDR4. Windows 10 has nothing to offer but Dx 12 support. so until then

You wish bro I was expressing a different opinion is all.
You backed up your thoughts so I wrote down mine ,how is that different.

Drama, with a bit of effort ,sorry I lie with no real effort win 10 does only what I want when i want and I've had no issues doing anything on it

put as much effort into win 10 as you have had to with linux just learning basics and I can't see how it couldn't pan out better for you.

Because you didn't argue the merits of windows 10, but addressed how it could pan out better for me and the way my subjective choice is worse. What is better for me, can only be decided by me, therefore the difference between our comments, was mine was pointed at no one, while yours was directed at me directly. Also, you started your post with drama, instead of creating a contructive counter argument. I have no issue debating the benefits of each, each has their own place certainly. For instance, active directory, is a great technology for a networked environment. Perhaps I shouldn't have been as vague in my initial posting, I didn't see the need as others have expressed the same concerns.

Because you directed yours at him though, specifically. which he seemed to reply to and explain his points in detail.

Can't blame either of you for your choices. But experiences will differ between folks, their builds, their patience and technical levels with systems and managing them, and the want of complication or ease, etc. We've all got different wants from our systems, clearly @m0nt3 is living it up with his fine tuned custom Linux experience and you prefer the easy life with Windows 10. Nothing wrong with that, if you're happy with your OS or OSes decision(s), that's all that truly matters. No matter what anyone else has to say on this forum. Everyone has a right to prefer something different for their needs, nobody here is wrong IMHO. But all we can offer is just that, opinions and hopefully good experienced ones at that.

But the way you posted to m0nt3 previously, had it been me, I would've responded the same way.

Windows 10 now is more stable. The fastest windows version i have ever used.

Or is it? they said that about W8 and then realised that it was still doing a lot of Processing in the background. I think W10 is the same tbh

The "processing in the background" is generally beneficial to responsiveness as long as you have the resources. A lot of benchmarks show that the caching, etc it does and driver models are faster than 7's. Not by much, (and the margin shrinks massively if measuring from 8) but it is there if you aren't ram starved.

I have also ran across an issue with Windows 10 thrashing the hard drive constantly because of notifications, I think related to the windows tips notification. Disabling it on users computer, especially on mechanical HDD's, has increased responsiveness. We observed constant 80-99% HDD usage in task manager.

I literally an hour a go broke my Win 10 install by using UXstyle to use a custom theme... don't ever do it, had to install Win 7 on a old PS3 40GB HDD and am now finding a way to recover Win 10.

 

[theFOoL]

I've reinstalled windows7/10 So many times it an't funny and have had 0 issues

 

[BlackSun59]

Win 7 Pro. So far I haven't felt any need nor desire to move to Win 10.

 

[lorraine walsh]

I am still on Windows 8, I forgot to upgrade to Win 10 before 29th July. Now waiting for Win 11 update (if there will ever be). I have read on some forum that Win 10 would be the least upgrade from Microsoft and there will not be any Win 11. Any member has any clue in this regard?

Thanks for sharing this post but reading by the thread, won't Microsoft be aware of the fact that normal users will also be taking advantage of this update still available for users with disabilities. Won't there be any kind of security check/proof requirement during the process?

They aren't doing any kind of check at the moment, but I would not put it past them.

I have installed it 3 times using this link.........no problems.

 

[theFOoL]

Yeah Windows10 is great but... I have Windows Vista as my main OS and I setup 3 Partitions (1 Xp 32bit@28.8 GB, 1 7Ultimate 64bit@38.8GB, and Windows10Pro64bit@58.8GB)

I have all my 360 Movies and 80 music Artist on that drive and I installed plex on my Windows7 partition

Poll is titled: "Witch OS you using and why?" Witch? Really?

You mean like the new Radiohead song "Burn the Witch?"

It was a type-O and i can't edit it

Windows 10 is the coolest thing since sliced bread.

 

[Loosenut]

Finally made the jump to windows 10 and pleasantly surprised how nice it runs. Third party apps to remove or limit its "call home" features. I like.

 

[RealNeil]

Win-7 Pro, 64-Bit on four PCs and two Laptops.
If it works, don't fix it.

 

[Aquinus]

Linux. To make a long story, short: two times in a row Windows tried to install a major update to Windows 10 and two times it left my computer in a broken state. It seems to me that they have work to do. Windows 10 works great when it's running after a clean installation but, big updates makes it feel like Vista all over again. There are enough games available in Linux where I can deal with it because gaming isn't really as important to me as it used to be and me being able to do my job and do professional development is a little more important.

Windows 7 Pro x64 is my main OS, I do have Windows 10 Pro x64 but use it very rarely. It sucks a bit on GUI implementation IMO plus only useful function over Win 7 is DX12, as I only have 3DM TS to make use of it's a very rare occurrence for me to boot to Win 10.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Still on windows 7. Im not jumping on WIndows 10 till they take it out of beta testing

7 +10 64 bit.
