Anyone trying Windows 10

It's like complimenting an ice cream saying it tastes better than dog food.

Well, that's the exact meaning I wanted to insinuate, so that's why I used it
Glad to see it worked.

I've got to say I'm finding it amusing how many people are saying this is better than Vista or other horrendous versions of Windows.

Agreed. Having Vista as a comparison point sets the bar way too low. It should be compared to Win7 as that is probably the last Windows that was decent and most people prefer.

I have been using it for a week now and I no longer get the slow downs or HDD crunching. It seems to have settled and works just as well as Win7. I still prefer the aesthetic look of 7 but as long as it is functional, I don't care.

Looks like I need to read your posts with more of an internal sarcasm voice

New and free doesn't necessarily mean better people

Yea, since it's not actually free. You are transferring your old OS license to it.

I got win 10 pro on one of my laptops on the weekend. Oh man, what a cluster mess of an operating system. Already loaded with shovel ware and just, well, a gigantic mess.

I'd happily install vista over the top of it. BTW, there was nothing wrong with vista. It's just as slow as win7 was. Win8.1 ftw.

Win8.1 ftw.

I have a new found respect for you. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that about 8.1. IMO, it's actually not that bad and once you configure everything, it all runs smoothly.

Yea, all I had to do with win8.1 was to disable the swipe screen, set it to load to desktop on login, and to have the start button go to Apps instead of start. Have Apps sorted by category. No 3rd party solutions required.

Pretty painless once I figured it out. Plus I think the best start menu ever is to right click the start button. That context menu has everything I really need to get to. Win10 has it too. It's normal start menu is less than useless.

So I have the best of win8.1, which is pure speed, and the best of win7, which is everything works, and I get to miss the worst of what 10 currently has, a gigantic shovelware mess, and edge.

Is anyone else in the Insider Program that's updated to TH2 having trouble with apps crashing or not working right? The Blizzard Launcher and Heroes of the Storm are crashing and just generally not working right for me.

My dad's response to from moving from Win 8.1 to Win 10 is the greatest. Lipstick on a pig

To me, Windows 8 was terrible and annoying. Windows 10, I don't see as so bad but aside from the Netflix App, I don't see any improvement on 7 so I would agree with the sentiment from Win7 to Win10 - Lipstick on a pig, ugly hipster lipstick too.
