    Where's the rage i expected to find in here? Doesn't anybody have a grandma that they've had to help through this win10 SP1 thing? Yes grandma. Start / Power / Restart, then wait 45 minutes. It will finally work again. No. It'll be no better than before. But it will work again. At least windows explorer remembers where you f***-ing put it. Is there anything else in this damn service pack??? Doesn't this win10 stuff ANGER anybody besides me??? I mean, wtf??? The old control panel isn't gone, but there IS a huge new one to wade through. And it's dog slow. Full of thrilling ........ animations. And the start menu is back. But it's now DOG slow. Are there any good parts to windows 10? At all? I mean, isn't this exactly how you're NOT supposed to deliver software? Does Microsoft feel no shame? wtf?

            You wouldn't get angry at a fire for burning your hand when you stuck your hand into the fire would you? So why get angry at Microsoft when you install an OS that is still in the Beta stage?

              I voted this up, but in all fairness, MS isn't saying it's a Beta - even though we all know it is. They're acting like she's good to go.

                  works fine, eh? so it doesn't bother you that you've had to wait 2 hours for win10 and SP1 to install? Restart your pc and boom - it's gone for 45 minutes no warning. That doesn't bother you? and you've got an os that's basically win7 plus bloat plus a windows update that's a lot bumpier? I don't know about you, but I'm getting worried about microsoft. This was supposed to be the GOOD one of the every other release cycle. Seriously, has the emperor decided he likes his new "clothes" ??? Do we have to go looking for an emperor that isn't fricken insane? I am pretty p***ed... This is not how the company that builds my OS should be.

                          I have never understood hatred towards Microsoft. They don't create perfect software but not only have they have always made the best software they also make it the easiest to build on top of their software and improve it. There is no one that even comes close to being as good as Microsoft. Many of us have had good paying careers because of what Microsoft does. If you are this upset at using Microsoft products, you might just kill yourself using someone else's products. :^)

                                  Agreed. At least about the "there's nothing better" part. But so far win7 is better than everything after it. Microsoft has since delivered win8, win8 SP1, win10, win10 SP1. That's =4= major releases that are no better than win7. It makes me think Microsoft no longer knows what it's doing. If you put out 4 releases of YOUR software, would you want that same track record? That's shameful. I'm pretty sure they deserve my rage.

                                    Maybe. I have seen others here also saying they've had a lot of trouble with win 10. I have had no problems with it and am quite fine with it. Could be your drivers, or other programs you have installed, who knows. Could be I'm just lucky.

                                        I voted this up, but in all fairness, MS isn't saying it's a Beta - even though we all know it is. They're acting like she's good to go.

                                        Thanks and I agree with you about Microsoft not saying it's Beta. I made a simple calculation - how much will it cost me to install a potentially unstable OS that wreaks havoc over my computer against waiting and potentially having to pay for an upgrade to a stable system. The maths was pretty easy for me - it will be cheaper to pay for the upgrade later than get it 'free' now.

                                          Maybe. I have seen others here also saying they've had a lot of trouble with win 10. I have had no problems with it and am quite fine with it. Could be your drivers, or other programs you have installed, who knows. Could be I'm just lucky.

                                          All I'm sayin is I remember my beloved Amiga 500. I loved that thing SO MUCH, but when Commodore died... I kept writing software for it as I watched the number of users dwindle and was forced to realize the futility of not hopping onto Windows95. I think what's underlying my rage is fear that Microsoft will do the same thing to me. HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME COMMODORE ??? WHY DID YOU MAKE ME A CLONE ??? Ok. I think the vent meter has a lower pressure reading. whew.
