Win10 - Ugh
-
Caution: there are a few ms fanlemmings stalking the board. Anyway, 10's not that bad, that is for people that don't really need to use a computer very much or do any real work on it. (Im nncluding the marketing dept in that one.)

Spot on. It's the same as every other "advance" they've made over the past few years, especially in ms office. "Mobile first!"? "Morons first!", more like.

I can't say what it would be like to manage a Win10 domain, or some such.

Win 10 is better than Win 8.1 But that's like saying "being hung, drawn, and quartered is better than being burnt at the stake." :sigh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Totally boned it up, but I guess it's sort of there. Much prefer deskspace, but we shall see. Meanwhile, here comes the next major update MS has released...

Hung, drawn and quartered is a single process. You don't get to stop at the hanging. They hang you until you're almost, but not quite, unconscious, then they let you down and let you wake up. Then they do it again another time or two, or more, depending on the enthusiasm level of the crowd. Then they draw and quarter you, slowly. Still interested? lol

Yeah, I use the Windows 10 with Classic Shell combo, too. I don't see what the big hate is about, as far as regular use goes. I do understand the hate over the ads, and not having control over your own hardware as to when it updates and reboots, and what it updates. Otherwise, it's like enhanced Win 7 to me.

Just use Classic view, customize your menu to remove all of those stupid tiles, and it basically feels like Win7. The forced reboots for updates are a little annoying, but you can postpone them if you have the Professional version instead of the entry-level one. Can't really compare performance with Win7 (I skipped Win8 entirely), since I upgraded my entire computer at the same time (M2 SSD = Much awesomeness)

I can see eventually no choice but to go 10 (11, 12), Although classic shell does make things 'more familiar' there's more I'd like to see fixed. i.e. complete block on ms data theft, choice on updates, banish metro ... fixed (adj): give full and proper control of a machine to it's owner. If ms doesn't provide these then good quality 3rd party utils/hacks are fine. Yeah I know some are already out there, but currently somewhat rusty/leaky/breaky. (Plus just did fresh 7 clean-install to fix weirdness caused by vs-15/17, enough pain for 1 year.)

No, sorry. Commit a crime in merry old Renaissance England, you pay using the local currency. No mercy for the non-citizen, I'm afraid. ;P

No Store, No Cortana, Updates when I tell it to update, I get to uninstall One Drive... It's almost halfway decent under these circumstances. Of course, I only spend about 2-3 hours a week these days on my Win10 machine. The vast majority of my time is spent on a Linux box these days.

Where's the setting for this? Did a quick google and the links I see want me to install some third party app.

Not my computer so I am not willing to change configuration.

There is no OTHERWISE. In principal, what could be worse than that - i.e., buying a computer for MicroSloth?

I fully agree. In addition, todays IT industry tends to produce devices and softwer not for people who do real work. And that is the gigantic mistake in the case of Windows OS. Microsoft CEOs should take in consideration that what works for Apple and Samsung doesn't work for them.
