Win 10: Is it a Microsoft con job ?
-
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols article in Computerworld | Feb 12, 2016 raises some important issues about the Win 10 vs Win 7 and XP. Steve, who has seen the entire evolution of PC OSs since CP/M, concludes "To me, the more interesting question is 'How is Windows 10 doing compared to Windows 7?' What I see is that Windows 10 “seems” to be catching up. Why is that happening? I don’t think it’s because people are eager to move to Windows 10. Everything I’ve seen indicates that Windows 10 has gained traction not because it’s a major improvement over Windows 7 — it’s not — but because Microsoft has been pushing Windows 10 on users" My take away is there's no reason to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10. His comments regarding Linux Mint 17.3 are also interesting

You seem awfully over-exercised about this. Do you have a bet on W10 failing or something? I can see no other reason to be banging on about this when you've already been told that the majority here don't agree with you. It's beginning to look dangerously like the behaviour of creatures that live under bridges and hate goats.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

You are annoying. There is no "con job" in regards with Windows 10. You are free to use it or not. You don't like it, use something else. I like it and use it, so, in that particular case, our two views cancel each other's.
I'd rather be phishing!

I also like it, so now we're a majority! ;)

He's not the only one. I'll take 7 any day over 10. I have no need for 10 and ain't going there.

Agreed this is getting silly. The only personal machine I have that's not running 10 yet, is a laptop old enough it came with Vista. :rolleyes: It's not upgraded mostly because it's not free; assuming it's still alive a year from now (or is needed sooner as an emergencyish loaner for a family member) I'll figure out where my folder with the W7 keys is to give it an upgrade; until then it can just sit since I don't use it for anything.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Add my vote to the rest, plus the votes of two family members.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
Nice signature :)
My long term goal is to live forever. So far, so good...

Why are you so rigorously defending Win 10? He's entitled to his opinion, and there's more than a few folks here that think Win 10 is a steaming pile of defecation.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I am neither defending nor attacking it. I installed it without a problem of any kind in September and I've had not a single problem since. That's a simple fact. What I won't put up with is this absurd, hyperbolic, unfounded nonsense about it being a 'con', especially in the form of a repost when the first didn't go as well as the poster hoped!

You've been here eight months, and your only contribution to the site is two Lounge threads in two days proclaiming that W10 is a "con job". Keep it up. We enjoy voting trolls off the site. :suss:
