am I the only guy annoyed with Microsoft?

I haven't been assimilated into win10 yet. I feel your pain. Even with win8.1, I curse the guy that came up with metro tiles. It may look fine on a 10" screen, but I mean when you have a single 55" 4k for monitor, it looks horrible.
well, i do recommend gettin onto 10 rather than stay on 8. 10 may not beat 7, but it beats 8 hands down. and yeah the dude that ok'd win8 going out to the world should be shot. and the dudes that coded it? well, they have my sympathies. i mean, that code is headin to deprecated faster than zune software. i sure hope so at least. Does nobody remember Commodore? That c64 was king for a long time and the Amiga was beautiful. Why did you die like that Commodore? I miss you sooooo much. Oh the grief. Srsly.

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?
"Are there any good parts to windows 10?" Sure, if you are MS or NSA or FBI or HLS. What? You didn't think all this was for your benefit, did you? They probably got more or will get from the Feds than regular licensing fees anyway.

I disabled the Windows 10 upgrade for myself and everyone I know except my oldest daughter, so it's not an issue.

I am ok because I have no intention of using it because it is marketing tool and not serious OS anymore.

I am multi OS user/programmer with the exception of Apple products (well I had iPhone at some point if it counts). I was using preview Win10 for testing and did not notice any advantages of this OS. Latest Win OS in use is Win 8(1) (desktop mode only) and I probably stop there unless Microsoft will come back to earth from the cloud. Besides, latest erratic moves from Microsoft are an open invitation for competition to come up with good consumer oriented OS. Let's wait for long overdue change.

i'd say so far that 7 > 10 > 8. if I were you, I'd either try to roll back to 7 or go to 10. But, of course, do what you want. you never named an os, though...

Yes, the grandma/grandpa problem will never be solved...even when we are grandparents! Just think of our future grand children going crazy trying to teach us the latest technology...the circle of life continues! :laugh:

Conversation with my 92 year old mother: Mom: An icon on my desktop has a big red X on it. Me: Yes mom, it is telling you that the folder on another computer is not available. Mom: Can you fix it? Me: Try turning on the other computer. Mom: It still doesn't work. Me: Try remapping the remote folder. Mom: I have no idea how. This was done by my paid technician several months ago. Me: (Grumble, grumble) Ok Mom, give me a few minutes and I will remap it myself. Mom: Thanks son, I knew you could fix it.

I have Win 7, 8, xp, Ubuntu, Fedora installed but no Win 10. I have checked 10. It is just 8 with new skin. Win 8 comes with emulators for GPU programming and is more useful in this regard. Win 10 has more background services running, uses my storage, bandwidth and CPU to conduct Microsoft business on unpredictable schedule. Therefore it is not even free. It is becoming more of an TV/advertisement box than computing workhorse. Because of that is not my preferred OS now. When they will provide solid, predictable OS then why not.

Yeah that makes sense. i don't support pre win7. I use linux at work (redhat), but that's just for boring webserver stuff. I've done a teeny bit of Android, but although the quality is there, it's got a long ways to go.
