Anyone still using this?

>>51915400

>>51915400

Why would anyone use a 6 year old OS when there are newer version available, gratis. Jesus...

>>51915715
This is my first time on /g/ in months.
>>51915400
yeah... but idk if i should use linux instead.
I have it running on an old laptop and Windows 8.1 on my desktop.
>>51915715
Not everyone browses 4chan all day you loser

how well do wow and csgo run under linux?
>>51915400
yeah just went back to it from windows 10
I do because this laptop doesn't have supported drivers for win8 and gnu/linux can't run CS:GO for shit. I need every frame I can get
Yeah, like 70 - 80% of the world

linux does not have encoding tools as good as the ones on windows
shame
>>51915400
The vast majority of Windows users, actually.
>>51915579
Don't fix what ain't broke, right?
no?
Alright, it was nice using a working and obedient OS.

>gamer food
tell me it's just a picture.
>>51916233
Yes ideot that's not REAL gamer food, its just a picture gosh this board omg
Yes. My dad updated to 10 a short while after it was available and it's fucking awful. It literally installs and uninstalls programs without telling you. Fuck that, I really hate that shit.
Just bought an EDC license for 12 euro.
Genuine ultimate.
My old main now has this genuine masterpiece and is working for torrents and backup.
Win10 already peeped on the task bar, disabled auto update
i paid lenovo $30 to get w7 instead of w10
>>51915400
Yes, I've had no reason to upgrade.
how do i diable botnet on win10 (or atleast most of it)
>>51915400
>>51915400
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium because most applications work on it, comfy, and stable.
I'll maybe upgrade to Win 7 Ultimate so I can use more RAM when I get a new system. Otherwise until Microsoft comes out with a similar platform for an OS that isn't absolute cancer I will be staying with Windows 7.
Seriously considering a Lolnix distro too if Micropenis doesn't come out with another decent O/S soon.
Tried 10 didn't like it. I'm back to 7 till security updates stop, then I'll probably go with Arch
>>51916233
Gamer Food's a thing. Caffeine and sugar encrusted nuts I believe. Good marketing
should i get windows server 2016 instead of w10?
>>51916961
>Caffeine and sugar encrusted nuts I believe
That's good, but "gamer food" sounds like something made to appeal to the 12 y/o cod demographics..
>>51915400
nah man instantly took the free upgrade haha yolo
Tried W10 and it was garbage.
>>51917006
That's exactly what it is
motherfucker, i'm stll using XP
>>51915400
Yes.
I only turn it on when I want to run a video game that isn't supported by Linux (because I just can't be bothered to use Wine when I have Windows handy).
Every port that isn't used for games is disabled.
Like a bawss.
just ordered this, i already got a case
the parts in the pic costs me about €800
did i do good?
>>51917731
sorry wrong thread
>>51915400
Pretty much everyone, aside from those were able to stay with XP
>>51917749
well you didn't include windows 7 on the list so you didn't do good right there, didn't you
>>51917124
dam bro how's XP with those specs? must be silky
>>51915400
I am, with the Classic theme, Theme service disabled, small icons on the taskbar & start menu. Its actually a pretty good OS without the Aero bullshit and 32x32 icons everywhere.
I'm not getting another Windows version after this, its Linux for me.
>>51917124
I'm actually considering going back to XP. I run DeepFreeze and always boot frozen whenever connected to the Internet so I'm not worried about viruses.
Only upgraded for Bitlocker and I don't use it anymore. Workplace uses XP still.

Yup, using W7 right now on my console-PC while running Os X on my actual computer.

>>51919281
>my shitty thinkpad 512mb ram thinkpad is slow on windows 7 so it must be slow for everyone else too
yes, no reason to upgrade so far.
>>51915400
Yep. Got it on my Thinkpad because battery life is terrible in Linux, and on my desktop because games.
Aero is really fucking ugly though. Considering upgrading to 8.1 but I don't know if that's any better.
>>51919399
Switch to the classic theme and disable the Themes service to get rid of Aero.
8.1 doesn't have any classic theme so you'll be stuck with the glass look if you go that route.
>>51915400
Yeah like 90% of all consumers
I'm jealous of all of you who still use it.
im on pirated 8.1
im thinking on upgrading to 10 and perhaps buying it down the line. Im worried about the uninstalling programs shit i have heard. is it exaggerated?

>>51915400
rolled back from win10ent ltsb to win7ent on tuesday
Yes. And Microsoft just pushed out their GWX program through windows update for the fifth fucking time despite me hiding it each time. I don't think I'm ever going to upgrade that this point.
lol im still on fuckin vista; MS dont even give enough of a fuck about my ass to BOTHER spyin on it
>>51923675
Eventually they will make the gwx update mandatory with no option to decline, except by disabling WU.
>>51924446
That's when I install Linux
Is this the /g/ equivalent of
"LIKE THIS IF YOU'RE WATCHING IN 2015!!111!"
>>51924446
Depends if they already have code in place that allows them to do that. Otherwise they have to push that code out as an update that I'd be able to ignore.
>>51924489
I was talking about having automatic updates enabled. Of course if you're sensible you have it on manual selection.
Nope, I'm on a dx12 OS with dx12 GPU
>>51924499
Sure. I assumed you meant they push it out in a manner that doesn't allow you to block its installation no matter what you do
>>51915400
this thing is actually worse than vista itself
>>51924508
and no dx12 games
>>51922490
Is that from India?
>>51922240
it doesn't happen anymore

About to roll back to win7 because my shitty laptop has a bunch of issues in 10
>>51924566
I installed 1511 via media creation tool upgrading from a clean dazloaded win7 sp1 install, and I installed cracked software to 10 with keygens/crack files in the same folders. How did people get applications uninstalled by windows.
>>51924608
Contrary to popular belief, it's not like they were going after pirated software. They just straight up (and silently) uninstalled certain programs (legally acquired or not) that Microsoft claimed "were not compatible with this version of Windows"
>>51915400
yep
>>51915463

Yep.
>this talk of XP
Why when you can use POSReady 2009? It's the same thing but with updates till 2019
>>51923675
I had the update hidden (KB3035583) and it popped up again for me on a manual update check. The box was unchecked but it annoyed the fuck out of me.
>>51915400
downgraded from 10 last night.
>>51924874
How do I even get a non-evaluation version of that?
>>51924874
XP has a huge flaw of not supporting modern hardware and storage mediums. Most laptops after 2010 do not have XP drivers available.
>>51926359
And?
>>51926401
increase the dosage of your autism meds
installing zorin os right now senpai
>>51926572
Work on your literacy
>>51926583
Why not Ubuntu minimal with a DE and packages of your choice? I got the best result and performance via this route of installation.
The prepackaged distros like Xubuntu/Kubunu/Zorin have so much bloat. Not to mention Zorin is a paid OS, you are just running trail version.
>>51926584
there is nothing wrong with my literacy. your autism is interfering with the interpretation of my words.
get help
>>51926600
i dont feel like coding desu and im already have way there. Im also getting attacked by a fuck load of viruses no turning back when i get this installed.
>>51926610
No, you misinterpreted my post and called me autistic when I said "And?", which was a perfectly applicable question since your post had nothing to do with mine. Again, learn to read.
>>51926600
one more thing does it matter when its the trial verison. Is it still the same or is it not full and its gonna charge me.
>>51926633
My post was an extension to yours, which was supporting your point of view but then you had to go and sperg all over me.
>>51926696
Well if one is already running XP on his machine I'd assume XP will run on his machine.
>>51924874
>>51926321
Just use the registry tweak that makes Windows Update think you're using POS 2009.
>>51926969
If you're already doing a fresh install, why install and mod XP to act like POSReady 2009 when you can just install POSReady 2009?
It's the best OS out there at the moment, why not use it?

ok
im still on a c2d
i dont play much games anymore
and it just werks
Just upgraded to 8.1 on my new build, running pretty good so far with the old shell.
Still just downloading security updates, but I'm unsure if I should bite the bullet and get the rest after putting in GWX Control Panel.
>>51924671
issac a shit
Windows 7 Ultimate x32
Disabled updates back in September, uninstalled every Win10-related update
I don't plan on switching to Win10 anytime soon.
I have a 100gb win7 partition for some gaymes if that counts. It has crysis2 skyrim and the russian version of blade and soul on it. I might get win10 for muh dx12 if it turns out to make a legit difference in gayming performance
I do, and I have absolutely no intention of upgrading until it becomes literally unusable.
comfy master race reporting in
>>51930152

Yes. I use it in a virtual machine almost daily.

>>51931522
What is wrong with IE11? The smooth scrolling and lightweight nature is essential for laptops and it shits on all other browsers due to these strengths.
I wonder if all the newfriends are now looking at us W7 user being reticent to upgrade like we did looking at XP diehards 5 years ago
I'd make the argument that w10 is much more intrusive but you could have said the same thing back and I'm biased
Funny how nothing really changes

Yeah I did lots of testing on low end machines and IE is fastest followed by the opera.
And I'm not talking about stupid synthetic benchmarks but how fast it scrolls, video framerate and general responsiveness.
this being said is there utility/plugin that would allow bookmarks syncing with chrome?
