Windows 10 can we talk?

[Bill_Bright]

CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are never "fired" in a traditional sense. They're pushed out of the plane with a golden parachute.

Never say never. It depends on the reason(s) why. If poor company performance, then traditionally, you are right and they forced to retire early or resign. But even then, they generally don't stick around for months after the board says goodbye.

If fired for other reasons, ethical reasons for example, insider trading (suspect or real) or some other scandal, they are given a couple boxes to pack up their office (with guards watching), then shown the door.

Yes, OT, but it seems the whole thread is off on different directions.

@alecx121 - you need to start your own new thread.

When I installed Windows 10, it was my nephew's call to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10. He likes to mess with tech thing. When we did, it was making many problems like hanging, finding a particular option was too difficult and many similar problems. I asked him to install Windows 7 again. Please.

Should have tried a fresh install instead of the upgrade. I bet there will be fewer or no problems. Its the upgrades that can get ya.

Junk thread is junk thread. We have been talking about this for years across multiple threads here already. Trickson just managed to lift the rock off his head and come back to play.

I don't think he was asking for help. I think he was sharing a story as it was declarative throughout.

I don't think this is a Junk thread, That is YOUR opinion. I am talking about the looks of the new OS nothing more, about how uninspired and dull it is and that to me is not JUNK it is an ISSUE. I would hope they can and are going to fix. Have some pride in your work for the love of god! Or at least make it look like you do. This just looks like NO ONE GAVE A FU##!

@ EarthDog You shouldn't go around calling other peoples threads junk, it is rude!

 

[EarthDog]

That is my opinion. And there are half a dozen other threads which have discussed it ad nauseum already is my point. But, hey, when you see the light for the first time in three years, some reshashing is bound to happen!

 

[R-T-B]

LOL I liked you again!!

To be honest it is unfair to have one without the other. An Un-Like button would get the same if not MORE abuse. So why not just like everyone? Tis the new age of Like minds!

I liked your post, because I like the idea of an "un-like" button.

Is that messed up or what?

 

[jaggerwild]

I think the OP should take the Windows install CD n smash it into a 1000 bit's, see if you feel betta?

Are you advocating violence against CD's? LOL
Smashing it would only occurs if it FAILS to work. IT is in NO way nonfunctional I really love the new OS just think it could be far more visually pleasing with some imagination.

Have a Toshiba laptop with W7 on it. When 10 still had a free upgrade I deciced to give it a try. But with what I had heard, I cloned the hdd (so I wouldnt have to go through re-installing 7 if 10 was not to my liking. Good thing!! I have to say, installing 10 is a downgrade, imho.

(I now have 2 comps w 10, other one is a refurb Dell from Frys Elec, $49.99 on sale, several comps w 7, several with XPP-64 & 32, this comp here & now, online is XP Pro) (32)

I will only get it when it will cost 5 euro, because who knows when motherboard will die and win8.1 was much faster.

 

[EarthDog]

and win8.1 was much faster.

It was??? In what?

 

[StrayKAT]

Not to diminish his concerns, but "speed" hasn't been a prob for me for quite awhile. Modern hardware/software has made improvements so incremental at this point that I can barely tell the difference. I could understand if you're running Win 10 though on 2007-ish hardware.

It's a general trend that goes beyond OS.

I've found the flat icons easier in the eyes, it just look cleaner to me.

It is nicer looking actually..

But I don't know a damn thing about Maya. Wish I did. I have some artistic skills, but I can't wrap my head around 3d progs.

yhea, 3D prog can be overwhelming, especially if you are trying to make sense of all the tool by yourself. It's really the kind of domain where you need to be guided to get the basics.

I agree with this

Try messing around with rainmeter. Lots of desktop customization stuff. https://www.rainmeter.net/

Its impressive what changes can. Be made.

The environment can become entirely unrecognizable

each of the designs you see are customizable , and optional, you can go as far or as little as you want away fro mthe standard win10 experience.

Yeah when I first looked around Windows 10 and saw that the Windows 7 look was kept in the explorer side of things and not just UI the whole thing I was like wtf? Ha! But I still use it

I think they learned their lesson with W8. Too much radical change too quickly will not be tolerated or accepted - and more importantly, purchased.

 

[theFOoL]

Yeah half-in-half is fine for me just wish there was a option to select what you wanted before a full install

It was a counter-lesson to how quickly the market swallowed the win95 change, honestly. Times have changed.

 

[Bill_Bright]

Counter-lesson?

Windows 95 was not nearly the radical change from Windows 3.x as W8 was from W7. W95 was seen as familiar and a big, welcomed improvement. W8 was seen as something totally different and awkward being shoved down our throats; a setback, not an improvement.

 

[EarthDog]

W3.x to W95 was a pretty dramatic change... It wasn't really until W8 where there was another drastic GUI change after XP. From XP to W7, people would recognize it easily.

 

[theFOoL]

The thing about W8 is they wanted us to use touchscreen monitors which still today cost a butt load of money

 

[Bill_Bright]

W3.x to W95 was a pretty dramatic change...

Yes, but not near as dramatic going from W7 to W8.

If you knew W3.x, you could step up to a W95 system and fairly easily find your way around. Stepping up to a W8.x machine for the first time was like a Word user trying to use WordPerfect - Bambi in the headlights.

 

[eidairaman1]

Its boring to me. Heck I dont like iphones or where Android 7 is going with this.

 

[EarthDog]

Both the change from W3.x to W95 and W7 to W8 were both equally as dramatic. Now, 95 and its changes were good and regarded as such, while on the contrary, W8 wasn't received very well. That said, they are both equally as dramatic and head scratching in their own way. Not one less than the other, my point.
