A quick rant on the only problem of Windows 7

[moonman]

All that "spying" aka telemetry data that like everything else you use pulls as well can easily be disabled or blocked (shit a lot of this is addressed even during initial install). Support has been getting better, worst case VM it if it is totally necessary or rely on compatibility settings. The design is fucking fine like what's the problem? Because it's a little sleeker and miminalist? The start menu is back and even better than the old one for everyone that circle jerks the start menu. That "universal app system" is what's bringing shit like Halo 5 and Halo Wars 2 to PC and will be a platform for future games that can easily be ported from Xbone to W10 given the nature of their OS. Windows 7 and 8/8.1 are losing support fast and it's starting in one of the most critical areas: hardware. Windows 10 is faster, sleeker, and an objectively better performing OS than Windows 7 and builds upon what was great about Windows 7 and Windows 8 and made it even better..

How much of this shit do I actully need? I don't need fucking calendar, store, mail, people, games, skype... fucking square design. If I wanted big ass squares in my UI I would've used a tablet.

Don't even get me started about the UWP - it's a fucking joke. It's microsoft holding gaming hostage and trying to establish an even more powerful monopoly than they already have. I could write a wall of text about how fucking utterly bad it is, but this man already said everything I have to say in the manner:


Games should be ported to Xbox, not to the PC.

And just because you can disable what is pretty much spying, doesn't mean that hunderes of grammas worldwide don't know their data is being collected, which is more of an ethics dillema

My hatred for idly jerking off to older OS's is well grounded in real world example of why sitting on an old, out of date, and practically unsupported OS can be a very bad thing.

microsoft should make a good OS then. i was quick to jump from win XP to win 7 because it was simply good. microsoft should quit trying to be apple.

You can remove the tiles if that's the problem you have. Current start menu is leagues better than old start menu. You can actually modify it.

Microsoft holding a monopoly on gaming? Are you fucking high? Steam has more of a monopoly on PC gaming than Microsoft ever could. Microsoft isn't saying "fuck you you HAVE to stay on windows", game devs are making an active choice to not develop for other platforms. Games should not be ported to Xbox from the PC. That is not how they're going to sell their consoles at all. They're providing a basic standard for easy porting because at the end of the day Xbox One is basically running Windows 10 with some tweaks.

Telemetry data is doing fuck all to trigger grammas. It's not a big deal, you're blowing it out of proportion. Windows 10 factually blows Windows 7 and 8 out of the water. Windows 7 and 8 also had telemetry data. A lot of video games pull telemetry data. A lot of programs pull telemetry data whether or not you realize it.

Literally the dumbest set of excuses I've ever heard.

You're literally inventing petty reasons to stay on a dead OS. Enjoy being stuck on outdated hardware. But hey, I'm a System's Admin at RedHat and a Digital Forensics Analyst for the State Department, the fuck do I know right?

i sent you a video for a reason, and you obviously didn't watch it. im not going to discuss my views with a microsoft fanboy who doesnt even care to read what i write to him.

I actually prefer Apple, but nice try.

You're literally inventing petty reasons to stay on a dead os. You want to stay on a dead OS? Fine, but don't literally invent non-issues to justify it. And of course I'm not going to watch a video that's titled "Universal Windows Crap", certainly no bias right there in the title. It's like expecting me to watch "Why Donald Trump Is Amazing" expecting to convince me Trump is not a piece of shit. It is by no means objective thus not worth my time.

Then right click and remove it, it's not much harder than that.

It's not going to monopolise anything. If it did, they would be fucked over by an anti-trust case. See: Internet Explorer's bing search almost getting banned in the EU.

Games should be ported to Xbox, not to the PC.

That's an unfair assumption, it's not up to you what way something is ported. If developers prefer Consoles and have it as their primary market, they shouldn't port it from PC. That's not how game development works.

And just because you can disable what is pretty much spying, doesn't mean that hunderes of grammas worldwide don't know their data is being collected, which is more of an ethics dillema

I am absolutely terrified that Microsoft will open up my wonderful nude pictures manually and watch them for enjoyment. It's big data - not their way of spying on your pictures. Get your tinfoil hat the fuck off.

Windows 10 is good - it's better than Windows 7 in most aspects. It's secure, it's stable and the updates are wonderful, honestly. If Microsoft were trying to be Apple, we would all have to uses Surfaces.

Stop pulling shit out your ass just because you're in denial of things moving on.

Hey fuck it let them stay on Windows 7, because I get to play with newer hardware while they can't. Their loss.

This ultimately leaves me in a better place when it comes to gamers who refuse to upgrade. It'll weed out the South Americans and Russians in the long run. English only Dota here I come!

It's secure

as far as im concerned it's not as secure a

 

[Koch]

What?

 

[Deleted member 442]

Speaking as an actual investigator that handles this sort of shit, Windows 10 is much more secure than Windows 7.

If you can't formulate your argument in your own words then you're not worth listening to.

Completely irrelevant.
