    Well, you hated .NET during the V1 and even V1.1 days. Now that's all you do at work :-)

    I use it, but I still don't like .Net.

      I don't even notice which OS I am running. As long as I can easily start a dev-friendly command line shell, a web browser (don't care which) and the few desktop applications I still use, I am happy with it.

            That wasn't because of Windows 10. That was because our IT department is a bunch of retards. They actually had a DBA drawn in to fix what amounts to a network permissions issue. He didn't have the necessary permissions to effect change, and even if he did, he's a freakin DBA, NOT a network system admin. After half a dozen emails between us, I said, "Call me crazy, but OUR Net Ops guys should be talking to THEIR Net Ops guys, and you and I shouldn't be trading emails about this at all." I think someone saw the logic there, and all of a sudden, I'm no longer in the email chain. That's fine with me.

              I agree with that but it's really not saying very much. It's kind of a lesser of two evils situation with those, for me.

                  I know you probably don't give a shiz, but I like it quite well. I think it's better than Win 7. Been using Win10 for 3 or so years since the preview came out. I wonder if the issues you have with it are due to third-party hardware, drivers and software?

                              Aside from the overnight unattended restarts, I haven't had any problems with it. The biggest plus for me is getting taskbars on multiple monitors. The worst to me is still the start menu. That said, I would have been quite happy plugging along with Win 7. I remember the happy days of leaving work with 'work in progress' not having to worry about losing my place due to an elephanting unattended restart! Win 7 did spoil me in that regard. :)

                                  +1 for the NUC. I'm a fan. Mine runs my 4K TV (and additional monitors via VGA->USB), and I use it to remote into all the VMs I have running on my beefier machine sitting in another room.

                                    I don't have admin permissions to install anything. This is a DoD system.

                                      Windows 10 is fine, just takes some getting used to. I have no more complaints now about it then I did windows 7, etc.

                                        That wasn't because of Windows 10. That was because our IT department is a bunch of retards. They actually had a DBA drawn in to fix what amounts to a network permissions issue. He didn't have the necessary permissions to effect change, and even if he did, he's a freakin DBA, NOT a network system admin. After half a dozen emails between us, I said, "Call me crazy, but OUR Net Ops guys should be talking to THEIR Net Ops guys, and you and I shouldn't be trading emails about this at all." I think someone saw the logic there, and all of a sudden, I'm no longer in the email chain. That's fine with me.

                                        A very good start.   Commendable, in fact! Now take it to the next step, where I reside:   I don't get invited to meetings, either.

                                          Aside from the overnight unattended restarts, I haven't had any problems with it. The biggest plus for me is getting taskbars on multiple monitors. The worst to me is still the start menu. That said, I would have been quite happy plugging along with Win 7. I remember the happy days of leaving work with 'work in progress' not having to worry about losing my place due to an elephanting unattended restart! Win 7 did spoil me in that regard. :)

                                          A victim of social engineering professionals! It is not normal or acceptable for your computer to do things (like restarts) without your permission. Trust me on this - things used to be different. Before the great fear began to hover in the background . . . waiting for just the right moment to strike.
