It's almost the year 2016.
Why aren't you running Windows 10 yet?
Even Microsoft will be pulling the plug on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 and kill them off next year in November 2016.
Worrying/Fretting over Windows 10 being a botnet/spyware is basically pointless if you've nothing to hide unless your tinfoil hat is on too tight which is most of /g/ when it comes to Windows 10.
Linux is still shit and hasn't surpassed Windows nor has it overthrown it either. Linux still hasn't brought anything of significance to the table yet. The year of the Linux desktop will never come.
What's your excuse this time, /g/?
> Worrying/Fretting over Windows 10 being a botnet/spyware is basically pointless if you've nothing to hide
Until someone exploit it to get credit card numbers or if someone is embarrased by the porn they use. Linux is way better than Windows, I only use it at work because I must.
>Worrying/Fretting over Windows 10 being a botnet/spyware is basically pointless if you've nothing to hide
Congrats, you're a certified retard if you believe this. The key word being "believe"
I am acutally doing that right now to my plex server. I mean, why not?

Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say. (Edward Snowden)
Because i need the pro version of 8.1 i got through dreamspark to run hyper v properly and use the android emulator in visual studio 2015. If i upgrade to 10 i get home and that version cant run the admin tools needed..
Also i have a lot of pirated software for 3d modeling on my 7 machine. Right now dual booting 8.1 and 7. May triple boot with a windows 10 installation on a new hdd for future dx12 gaymens, as i have that offered through dreamspark as well.
Tl; dr? You asked

Apparently it has become a real pain in the ass, my wife tells me that meetings suddenly stop because the main computer showing the power point suddenly randomly restart for forced updates and they are teachers so they just suffer through it. The sad thing is that most people will just suffer and not change to a better OS.
>>51794095
I am though.

Does not come installed with garbage like Edge, Microshit Store, and any Apps. Disable most telemtry and forced updates in Group Policy Editor. Only downside is that it seems that it will not be getting the Fall Update ever or anytime soon. Other than that it just works senpai :^)

I like it when MY things remain MY things. You want to look at my movie folder? tough luck you will never know i like avengers and man of steel unless i tell you and i like it that way. Want to know what games i play and you don't know me on steam? Kiss my butt stalker. (Pyro all the way) etc etc
Just because YOU wouldn't take advantage of having that knowledge about all computer users does not mean every person on this miserable little rock has good intentions.

Eight went too far in being touch friendly which pissed off mouse users. Ten has gone too far in the other direction, being shitty for touch. I upgraded my tablets to 10 and then rolled back to 8.1 because the touch experience is so shitty in 10. My desktop is on 10 and it works pretty well in that context.

10 can do ALL the touch shit 8.1 can. You just have to turn some things on, like tablet mode and full screen start menu.

>>51795827
You can even set Windows Update to never restart as long as a user is signed in.

You also disable that.

the only problem that was fixed for me from windows 7 was the blue screens of death I would have once a month after my computer has been on for a very long time. and If I was playing a song or a video one frame of the sound would loop and it was start seconds before the actual crash .
Now with windows ten my computer just fresese for like 10 seconds with that noise giving me a heart attack.
I only went to windows 10 to stay up with technogly. Any of my serious work that needs to be done in linux I will do it. and I never ever use my main windows tower for my tor use.
Stupid newfags do that shit. Go and download tails
I dont mind windows 10 its just i hate how they are killing controll panle and making it harder to set certan settings. its been the way it has for the past fucking 20 why the fuck change it on me! I normaly now use the network conection icon to bring up a normal controll panle experince. and i find that umm yeah that outlook intergration thing is shit do not conjoin it to your acount thats what identifies you to your computer now, thats when the spying happens

What are we gonna do once Windows 7 dies? I mean I'm hoping by then enough people will decide not to "upgrade" to Windows 7 and instead move to Linux and it can get full game support. I REALLY don't want to use Windows 10.
I'm scared guys.

>>51797233
is it too hard for you to string a complete sentence together?
I'll upgrade to Windows 10 when it has a steady flow of decent updates. All I hear each month on the patch bulletins for Windows 10 is disasters like settings being reset, black screen when loading to desktop, windows auto updating drivers despite it being disabled etc.
I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 shortly after SP1 debuted.

I would really like to use Windows 10, but I don't want the issue I've had with Windows 10 since build 10130.
So I'm using Windows 8.1.
>>51794095
xp-only visual novels, family
8.1 is objectively the best windows. I will upgrade to the free windows 10 as late as I can before the free-thing goes away (I think its July 2016). The funny thing is I actually pirated this copy of windows in like 2011 as Win7, then upgraded to 8.1
The ONLY thing wrong with 8 was metro, and now you dont ever have to see metro anymore in 8.1. I just use classic shell to make it feel more like windows. It feels nearly twice as fast as 7, especially when using legacy hardware
>>51799450
yeah i use classic shell and windows 8.1 is really good alot of time i forget about the metro theme
>>51799450
Isn't 8.1 botnet?
Or is it no more than Windows 7 is?
And I was promised smug anime girls.
Does anyone know if the Enterprise N version of 10 has the disable telemetry option? I'm still only seeing Basic, Enhanced, and Full under that dropdown.
>>51799687
All versions are botnets
>>51799846
Not quite sure but i think so
As soon as Microsoft can produce something that behaves at least as well as Debian Sid we can talk about why I'm not on Windows 10.
Have the even published a social contract to their users detailing the software licenses they use and rules they will abide by?
Has that nasty old Windows Update gotten anywhere close to an apt-get upgrade?
Have they published their kernel code under a free license so we can know that all three letter agencies haven't got a back door into Windows?
As far as I can see Microsoft is still playing catch up to a good Linux distro.

why not keep a laptop fucking plugged in?
also what kind of a shit battery does it have if it cant fucking install updates overnight?
OR
is she carrying around a fucking desktop?
It only took my ssd 6 minites from bwginning to home screen to install Win10. After turning off all the privacy settings, changing group policy on updates, and using a quick "disable windows 10 spying" program for telemetry/keylogger/host blocking, it's pretty good so far. The "hidden/ignored windows updates" cab that microsoft provided was a nice touch. But honestly they need to make windows update the way it used to be and allow the retardedly simple force download & install edition as an option. In the technical sense I can see why they did it; if any exploits surface for the OS and it turns into a widespread problem, they don't have to include the demographic of machines that remain vulernable because those users have forcibly disabled updates and do not matter. So in the short term the avalanche of updates means the new OS is staying healthy.
Installing the 15 gigs of updates for Windows 7 other than that I'm sticking with Windows 7 pic related before updates
>>51800233
I use peo and that option (#2 or #3?) hasn't worked for me, even with windows auto update service turned on at boot. I still have to press "Check for updates" and it runs through forcing the download and install with a restart notification if its needed.
>>51800344
10 is somewhere around 12gb on my install. The 7 "Windows.old" folder is 15-16gb.
Anyone running windows 10 on a 2gb ram tablet? Im wondering if it will be bogged down with so little memory.
Also, can tablets with windows 10 run flash and java?
>>51800357
I have set the local group policy to notify download, and it only gives me a dialog once a day that updates are available, I can click it and close the update window and it wont download them

>>51800379
running windows 10 on an asus t100tam, works wonderfully
>>51800379
I think 10 64-bit idles around 1gb on a 4gb system. Does it differ still depending on ram installed?
>>51800392
Thanks anon, good to know!
>>51800381
Shit them my service permissions might be messed up somewhere in the registry level. I have the red label saying "sertings controlled by local group" or whatever but the options are ghosted out since the policy has been edited.
>>51800378
I'm talking about the windows 7 updates/band aids it will prb be sitting at 30 gig after all the patch's.
>>51800400
Hmm, I'm not sure but from what I had read you are correct. Which is why I was worried about 2gb. I'm just looking for something to manage my financials and maybe send out emails. Occasionally gaming (which is why I'm curious about flash and java running on something like this)
Because I'm installing debian to try out linux for the first time since I don't like what I've seen of windows 10.

Why do you 8.1 fags always lie about this? Metro is ingrained in the a lot of core settings even with a classic shell. So stop saying crap to cover up your remorse.
Is there a way to change the trackpad gestures in windows 10?
For example, I already have too many ways to change between windows (i.e. super+tab, alt+tab, 3-finger up on the touchpad), but only complicated ways to change desktops (ctrl+super+left/right). Is it possible to substitute the 3-finger left/right from switching between windows to changing between desktops? It would be much more convenient.
tldr can I change 3-finger left/right touchpad gesture from switching windows to switching desktops?

Not that these old games are any good since they didn't have good graphics, DLC, good character creation, or the ability to jump and swim back then. You should never actually play old games, you just need to have the ability to for bragging rights against a really advanced opponent.

Linux runs a vast majority of the world's server infrastructure, as well as IoT. You're just butthurt because you're too retarded to figure out how to utilize the power of the Linux kernel beyond retard-proof UI's that give you limit power and access to the actual OS.

Isn't Gaben the definition of botnet shilling? I'll never forget the day he trashed CS with steaming pile, the last online game I played.
Let's get real here. If you are genuinely intredasted in the future of home computing it looks like Windows 7 is the last MS operating botnet you will run before migration, however painful, to open source and computing community driven change, not botnet - spook agency driven change.

Use Windows and arch Linux. Accidentally my windows partitions a few days ago. Haven't had an urge to reinstall but I'm sure I will at some point. The botnet has taken over the world and until the next collapse there's nothing we can do. We can start building our army now and when the collapse comes we will be the strongest force right off the bat, but there's nothing we can do now.
>>51803167
>5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left-wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

Windows 10 has no improvements over 7, with the exception of dx12 support and unnoticable performance gains.
It is filled with bloatware that you cannot uninstall.
Your privacy is violated in every part of the OS. Privacy matters whether you "have something to hide" or not.
If you manage to make things more private, all af your work will be undone again at the next update, none of which are optional. Many of these updates bring more bugs than they fix.

Windows 8.1 isn't any more botnet than Windows 7.
They're both pretty botnet by now, but 8.1 has some advantages over 7.

This.
You aren't the customer. The advertisers and agencies are.
>>51799450
Actually agreed. Windows 8.1 is probably the most finely polished version of Windows right now especially after the 8.1.1 update. Windows 10 is still a beta testing version, unoptimized as fuck code. I think the Redstone update will make it as good as 8.1 though.
Also 8.1 with the Start Screen is fine. Just uninstall all the apps and you'll never have to see them and the start screen is nicer to customize than the plain ass menu.

wew i just read all of that.
We have a simillar situation here in Israel in some cases, but it's a interesting division between the issue of Arabic/Muslim kids not wanting to study,Other small sects like Druz also prefer not to go school beyond middle school (but are usually rather chill) ,Hassidic/Secular jews not wanting to do shit, and jews from middle eastern decedent usually acting simillar to the black mentioned in this post (Not as bad, but rather close. Plus a lot of them are decent folk).
Though in comparison, to get your highschool diploma you have to work just a little bit. It's not just freely given away cuz you black.

I can tell you that I have no faith in M$. The only reason I will be using their OS is to play vidya and use Visual Studio if i need to. Otherwise Linux has my heart.
On a tangent, I keep hearing mixed views on *BSD. On one end I hear that it has included security features the Linux has not, and basically refuse to include. On the other I hear it's a steamy pile of shit. So is it worth it?

It can be smaller than 7, has native support for iso, vhdx, its bootloader allows for booting virtual filesystems, use an iso editor and remove the "uninstallable" files from the start, and if you tailored your install like an intelligent person, you can have Enterprise installs fit in under 9GB, down to 8 if you applied yourself.

AD is probably easier to set up than the Linux alternatives, but it's still super easy to use RHEL-based distributions with AD if you got that route.

My copy of 7 was free in 2011 but a legit free because it was still called MSDNAA back then right around when I graduated college. There's really nothing wrong with it. Windows 10 creates a clusterfuck of a mess that didn't need to happen among other reasons mentioned by others.

Windows 10 is literally a revised Windows with botnet features. It's not even a new operating system. This is the only reason it exists.
>>51794095
But why did they get rid of Aero? I have a decent enough GPU and desktop let me take advantage of it if I want to. Why do I have to revert back to using outdated flat designs from before 2007 ment for small devices to save battery power when I don't have to worry about any of that shit? I do have an APC battery but that's ment as a system failsafe in the event of power loss not to run the thing all the time.

>>51812346
This. I'm fortunate enough to have control over my computer setup at work. Switching over to Linux has been amazing. There were some problems at first, mostly because of Microsoft bullshit...it's amazing how far they go to make cross OS interoperability a hassle, when you see things from the other side.
But now that I've got everything figured out, there's no going back. KDE + multi-head, Dolphin instead of the windows file browser, no Internet Explorer lurking about, a usable CLI...holy shit, what freedom.
And no more ominous GWX taskbar icon, downloading OS upgrades I do not want, waiting to do god-knows-what to a machine I absolutely depend on.

Okay will look into that, if its offered at all. So far i havent seen the windows 10 update, may be because its a dreamspark lisence
couldnt find a /sqt/ so here it goes, kinda related:
is it possible to install windows 7 (with sp1) using nothing more than an emulated/virtual cd drive with its iso mounted? or does the machine reboot in the install process and then wants more files from the drive and fails the install (since its not an hardware drive and not available anymore)?
if it matters, im trying to cleaning install an original version of windows 7 (back from illegal 8.1) to cleanly upgrade to valid/original windows 10.

The machine resets during the process.
I'd suggest making a bootable Windows 7 USB thumbdrive.
>>51813551
to answer myself, it does work, it completed successfully just now. apparently after the first step is done (copying windows files) the machine reboots and no longer needs access to the image medium and the installation continues without any problems
