Not bad for two months...

I think ball cancer has stats similar. I think I would rather have the ball cancer. I think some of those numbers are the way they are because people don't know any better or were not offered a choice.

Yep. I known people that tryed Windows 10. After a week, they reverted to windows 7. I think that their "intalls" count for Microsoft, but their "unistalls" not, lol.

That's too bad because i believe Windows 10 is just as good as Windows 7 if not better

RJ, let me say I do appreciate the news stuff you post, don't take my distaste for Win10 as a slam on you..it is not.
 
At any rate, I found 10 to be annoying..and too intrusive...too many things to turn off to make it viable for me. I want to turn
tiles OFF, not just hide them. I despise(d) metro. I have a PC, not a tablet or phone.
 
It's just garbage to me >.<

+8 That summed it up nicely. Pure garbage.

I can see why Steam users would want to upgrade just to be able to sync with their XBox: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/windows-10

I don't know why I even read everybody's posts...

August 2015:
Windows 10 64 bit

+13.17%

Windows 7 64 bit
39.71%
-5.26%


10 can't be that bad if the Steam community is upgrading as fast as they are.
The people that are unhappy scream the loudest.
Metro was BRILIANT! They went there too fast. If they released 10 in 2010, then 8 in 2018-2020, it would have went way better. One of the reason why I have a Windows Phone is because I can have as little or as much on my Start screen, and similarly with 8.
Don't get me wrong, there was flaws in 8 but they could have changed them for the better.
And you people complaining that Vista was the worst OS ever, 7 was made from Vista.

With that line of reasoning, maybe they can make Windows 11 that fixes everything that sucks with Windows 10 like Vista to 7. I can see why there are so many installs. It's free and things like DX12 sound great and it's not like they are exactly being passive about 10, they are downright shoving it down everyone's face. I mean, it installs on it's own unless you disable the update as well as nags the corner of your desktop so yeah, I can see those figures. I was dumb enough to do it on a laptop. It's not like I hate it so much that I am going to roll back but I can't seem to bring to mind anything that I like better than 7. The welcome screen?

Sure...when you offer it for free and it autoupdates your Win7 (which happened to me...) I'm not surprised.
 
Personally I think win10 is complete (redacted). That's just me, however.

Agreed, tried it on a laptop that came with Windows 8.1 and was not impressed. It's not bad but it would be a downgrade for my desktop since they removed features I actually use.

All this talk about Vista and 10 being the worst ever.

You guys forget about Windows ME that fast?

Windows 10, well you either like it or hate it. At least you can turn off a lot of reporting if you want and the tiles you can resize also.
 
Windows 10 on the other hand has DX12 so when DX12 supported game titles comes out that is what you'll need to play those games.

According to this, you are wrong.

"Don't know better"..sounds about right for most people...I doubt RJ falls into that though.
He just likes the OS.

I still have a few points of contact in Microsoft so I have relayed your concerns to them

Until all that spying BS goes away and someone figures it out on how to remove it, I will be sitting on windows 7 like the happy camper I am.... 
 
No, there is no realway to remove the telemetry spying in windows 10, it is a placebo effect and also Microsoft is forcing things for people in windows 10. The telemetry is maybe hard coded into the os from what I been reading.

What is this I am seeing? A civilized debate in a thread about different views? Holy crap!
