> I tried 10 for five minutes then went back to 7. I guess it's an okay OS, but I have no reason to upgrade for the moment, and that whole "you can't block drivers / updates" thing really bothers me for the reasons you mentioned. (I did get the digital upgrade license thingy though.) > Maybe in the future when MS decides to get their heads out of their arses and they stop being jackasses about the biggest issues with the OS, I'll switch. Maybe.
Well, apparently it's like this: 10 is the last Windows. Windows will be a 'service'. And whatever that might entail, though basically that's because of the mobile market, and the ability to real-time update the tiles in the start menu, etc.
None of which I want. The update thing I'm fine with - as long as it doesn't screw things - which apparently it has. I'm going to set up dual drives, 7 and 10, so I can hop from one to the other - mostly on 7, but on occasion on 10 when I want to fuck with something. I can do a transfer settings any time.
But, yeah, apparently downloading the 10 update gets you in, and you can sit on it forever - which I didn't know till last night, so I would do that with all my machines even if I had no back-up drives.
After an hour or so, there was this notification that popped up asking how I liked 10. I sai, "I want the interfaces of 7 and IE11, but with the security features, etc, of 10 and Edge. Get with it, yo."
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
