Who else on /g/ hasn't succumbed to all the mindless paranoia and hate to realize that Windows 10 is the most decent operating system as of 2016. I've had 0 problems with it so far, and it comes with some pretty good new features.
>>53710471
Yeah man I have been using Windows 10 since the beta and it's nothing but free and great. I'm really starting to like the new Microsoft.
>>53710471
All the spyware bs is made up and way overblown. Windows 10 doesn't spy on people any more than Facebook and Google do. I think it's pretty funny how people cry about Microsoft wanting to gather a small amount of info about their computer while they go ahead and upload all their info on social media.
>>53710471
Yeah Windows 10 is pretty good. I've started to upgrade it into all my clients' computers whether they like it or not. It's just so much faster and better.
Why are you shilling? Only 3 posters including me. You are not fooling anyone.
>>53710471
New Edge browser is the best. Even beats Chrome for me. I honestly don't know how I went on with my computing without Windows 10.

ITT: Rajeesh trying to earn a full rupee.
I don't normally like to post opinions, especially negative ones, on the front page. In this case, I can't resist, as this bastardization of Windows makes me quite angry. Having used every version of Microsoft's operating systems since 1988 (MS-DOS 5.0), this is the first time I truly believe that Microsoft has lost its way. To put it bluntly, Windows 10 is a mish-mash of interfaces, and in some cases borderline deceptive options, mainly to serve Microsoft's dubious ambitions in the mobile device arena, rather than consumers and businesses. It will only serve to further confuse and alienate the average PC user, and hasten the PC's demise. I've used Windows 10 as my daily OS since the Preview back in January 2015, and I can honestly say it seems like one step forward, four steps back when compared to Windows 7.
>>53710493
Yeah for real it's strange. All the telemetry in Windows 10 can be disabled anyway. I don't know what all those paranoid crybabies are even whining about.
>>53710471
I thought it would be good when I upgraded but it was shit so I switched.
It's always something.
"Can't delete dis fulder, you not administratrrrrr"
"Can't open dis, you not administartttttr"
"I shut down computer for you, don't worry, this is just to help you stop what you're doing"
"I think you need to slow down"
"Woops, did I accidentally delete half of your folders"
>>53710535
>>53710542
>>53710538
DELETE THIS.
>>53710535
Dude take off your tinfoil hat. Nobody is shilling, people are just trying to post their honest opinions while you suppress them.
>>53710471
It isn't about whether it's better or not, it's about choice. MS is forcing their customers to use Windows 10, even if they don't want to. It's not different from what North Korea do with Red Star OS, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, you'll have to use it anyway or else.
>>53710471

Fuck off back to >>>/biz/, no rupees here today

FREE upgrade = forcing people?
They're just helping people be more secure,
old OS WINDOWS 7 WINDOWS 8 ARE NOT SAFE ANYMORE!
>>53710572
Stop making stuff up and regurgitating whatever the other retarded paranoid tools told you. Windows 10 doesn't have any of those things, it's the most secure Windows version yet.
>>53710587
>more secure
Um, sorry, this is pure BS. Windows 10 offers exactly zero new protection mechanisms to the end user vs. Windows 7. I haven't forgotten that Windows 8/10 apps run a sandbox and they are all verified by Microsoft, that's true, but most of them are made purely for content consumption (so they won't cut it for power users), besides people will still download executables from the Internet and run them relentlessly. Normally you should never run Windows without a decent antivirus installed (Microsoft Security Essentials is not an AV your can rely on, in fact you're crazy if you believe it protects you). Head to av-comparatives and check out their real world tests to see what's best for you. According to various AV comparisons MS Secruity Essentials misses over 10% of in-the-wild viruses (i.e. over five hundred new viruses every day).
The truth is there are some new security features but they are invisible for most users out there.
>>53710587
>They're just helping people be more secure
Who, Microsoft or Kim Jong-un? I'm pretty sure they both say exactly the same.
>>53710610
Stop copy pasting stuff dumbass. You never heard of applocker, smartscreen filter, tamper protection, cloud windows defender, and the new updates system to make sure you aren't vulnerable. Windows 10 is many many times more secure than older versions of windows out of the box. It's also faster, better, and free too. So fuck off with your bullshit.
>>53710587
a free upgrade that is a recommended update for all windows devices. you turn on your computer and suddenly you have windows 10 installed without your consent.
>>53710471
I agree. Windows 10 = best operating system of 2016. It even runs better on my 2007 dell laptop than linux did. freetards BTFO.

I hate to burst your bubble, but this isn't 2003 anymore pal. Windows 10 is the windows in which they take security seriously, as Microsoft has been doing for the past decade. When the heartbleed exploit came out, it was only the freetards who got fucked. All the banks and government organizations who were running windows were fine.
>>53710637
I heard of crypto locker as well top kek, wincuck
>>53710692
Most people who actually get infected with cryptolocker had horrible security practices like opening random exes from emails and not having antivirus. Linux and osx get malwares all of the time too.
>>53710682
Oh and what alternative to Open SSL did wangblows give? hahahaha

Because it's better, and it's totally secure.

Windows has had ssl natively built into the win32 api for years. While linux freetards need to link with 100000 different dependencies just to get an ssl support with their bloated programs.

linux users just can't come to terms with the fact that Windows, especially Windows 10, is in almost all ways superior to their crippled, messy softwares.
>>53710471
Windows 10 is fairly decent. I also don't understand the hate for it. If you don't like it, just don't use it. simple
>>53710471
Windows 10 is great after you remove all the crappy Microsoft apps.
>>53710658
In case you want to use software that's actually useful and decent and not coded by some college dropout in their free time.

I have stoppped updating and that cloud nonsense.
After some tweaking it is a great operating system.
Linux needs heavy tweaking, fixing bugs, environments are unstable and system usually breaks after few update cycles. So meh. I gonna use Windows 10 for now.

I agree too. I just upgrade to Windows 10 and am very happy. Everything is twice as fast as Windows 7. I have to admit I am pleasantly surprised. I'm sure I will find more to complain about in the weeks and months to come but for right now I don't regret updating to W10 at all.

Linux is used in where serious computing power is required all over the world, software avaibility doesn't necessarily mean the OS itself is better
Windows was fine before mass surveillance OS 10 came out. Sorry, but spyware 10 is replacable
Honestly I upgraded because I usually do about this point and I've made the transition painlessly and gained a lot of benefits.
My room mate has an Xbone so I can stream Halo 5 to my PC and supposedly W10 is going to have native Xbone support at some point but I don't even know if that's really official.
Got a virus a few months back that was bad enough that programs couldnt fix it and neither could I so I used some system restore tool thats included but since the install was still somewhat fresh it wasnt much of an issue really. Super fast on an SSD too.
>>53710924

>>53711140
Antivirus doesn't patch your security holes, You cannot install security.
>>53711164
but sir it is not importancy problems when the system is not in the rebooting it is the better than the old windows yes? so you must to be happy with windows 10. windows 10 much best than other operative systems. you do not complain ok? thank you.
>>53710471
yep best OS out there my win10 bro, if I want to sperg I just fire up VMware or Virtualbox and launch shitnux
>>53710831
but microsoft isnt giving you an option, they even made it a recommended update, meaning it automatically downlods and installs with default update settings.

>>53711235
Not security, antivirus doesn't reduce your attack surface
i'm not going to bother with win10. too many incompatibilities with no benefit.

have LTSB N version though
>>53710535
Jesus Christ they're not even trying.
This should be made into some sort of story on The Verge or something.

>>volume level randomly drops down and up about 150 times a day.
no

FYI, microsoft propaganda doesn't count as an opinion.
a while back, my pc was upgraded to Win10 without my consent.
initially, I was angry. Until the night my house caught fire. I was sound asleep when suddenly I heard my name being called out... it was Cortana! Somehow, my Win10 pc knew there was a fire and it alerted me to the danger! Not only did Cortana warn me of the fire, but it told me the best way to exit the house safely.
I would be dead now if not for Windows 10!
Thanks, Windows 10!
>>53710471
Only problem I had with windows 10 was after official release, had problem with audio driver - but they fixed it quickly - ever since then compared to 8.1 everything improved, especially noticed more frames in games like gta V with same graphical settings.
>>53710493
But what if I don\t have social media, I use fake details everywhere and I have kinda no private data on computer? Why would I want Microsoft to get little data?

>>53711265
It's best to - re-install your OS every few months when you use LTSB N becuase there are Iso's provided on internet with feature updates and most security updates integrated in them, just back up your software on another partition to save time. And you'll only spend 1 - 2 hours debloating and installing drivers.

>>53710471
I think most people agree that Windows 10 is pretty good except for two key problems :
Privacy issues. Yes people use Facebook and shit, but that's entirely different. Facebook is a service you use when you feel like it, an operating system is something you use for literally everything on your computer. You have literally no freedom to choose what information gets stolen from you. On Facebook you wouldn't talk about Porn, for example. And about android and stuff, well there's plenty people here who jailbreak their phone because muh freedom.
The second problem is forced updates for everything, this can be a problem for people with slow Internet (not everyone lives in the city, or even in the first world) and I've heard of driver updates that break peoples computers. Happened to a guy I know at college.
Tbqh, when Windows 10 came out and my old windows 7 computer died, I upgraded to Linux.

I've been using it since official release now and I only had one issue where the start menu and search didn't work, but I believe I downloaded an update (?) which fixed the issue. Loved it since.

I love Windows 10, I don't have to worry about my NAS or backing up my information anymore, because the NSA and all of Microsoft's marketing partners have complete copies of all my data.

Actually, you can't.
You can only install what Microsoft allows you to install.

Fucking annoying.
The "settings" app stopped working and appareantly the only solution available doesnt work. Now i cant get updates nor (obviously) access any settings window directly.

>random you dont have one or more network protocol bug. i dont have either ethernet nor wi-fi only after i restart the computer.
Tought that was an error on my side, good to know this altho i dont really need to restart my pc for the connection to work again.
Aside from that and the privacy issues it works well and i dont shit on metro since its not forced like it was on 8.

At work they make me use Mac os x when programming on java or ruby. Worth learning the os a bit.

Windows 10 is fast, free and great.
I'm building a new pc. if i were to clean install instead of upgrading, am I able to completely disable automatic updates, actually disable telemetry/ads/cortana and secure control over my machine? Would it have acsess to another partition if i dedicated one to running linux?
If not, how can i do these things with win 7?

>it comes with some pretty good new features
Absolutely.
For the first time, my Windows® desktop can have the same lockscreen as my Windows® phone (if I had one).
I never would have even thought of putting a lockscreen on a desktop computer, so I have to click on the screen before I can enter my password to unlock it. It's absolutely visionary. And it keeps me from acidentally unlocking my desktop computer while it's in my pocket.
Given how universally helpful the feature is, I can see what a wise dcision Microsoft® made by ensuring that it cannot be disabled except by manually editing the registry.
I also like it how every other time I use the Calculator™, Windows 10® gives me a helpful reminder to leave a review in the Store™ so that other people can know what a useful app it is. What a great sense of community!

Did they actually put a lockscreen on 10? Jesus christ.

I'm going to buy two copies of Windows Home next month. Telemetry data doesn't bother me at all and I'm not doing anything illegal anyway. Its kinda required by my God.
I'm using Windows 7 but the netcode on this operating system kinda sucks and I'd like better security too. I'm using Bitdefender at the moment but my copy can be transferred to Windows 10.
I also use Google Chrome. I seriously don't see the issue with it. Its fast and the addons work well now.
I have to install drivers for graphics to work.
Costs 100$ so poor fag me can't buy it
Has a lot of useless shit
Has features that should've been in 7,
Cant stop updates at all
Start is back on 8 made a better start menu
'apps' you can't uninstall
Have to install a Web browser that isn't shit
I no joke get better download speed on Ubuntu then windows
>>53710471
Microsoft hasn't made it easy enough for me to upgrade. No reminders, no prompts to upgrade, just fuck you. They expect me to go out of my way to download their os while everyone else is getting raped into it.
Well fuck you too MS. I'll keep using 7
>>53722085
This. I dislike the spammy way they announce their new OS, there surely has to be some reason (botnet)
>getting a new (used) laptop
>it comes with windows 8
>been using window 8/windows 10 past few years on my current laptop because it came with 8 and upgraded to w10, remember liking w7 better
>debating whether or not to get this new one and keep w8 and upgrade to w10 on it while its still free, or install w7 on it
i have a dvd that has an ISO with every copy of windows 7 on it but I don't have a DVD drive in my new laptop. i would probably dual boot Windows 7 and Windows 8 until I make sure Windows 7 works with everything, then delete the W8 install
what do?
>>53721984
>>53721892
What are you guys going on about? There's no lock screen on Windows 10 unless you log out, the same as every other OS.

So anyone got a link to that EXE that completely fucking kills Windows ability to perform any updates?
Someone posted that shit in a /v/ thread weeks ago and I neglected to save the URL.
>>53711243
simple answer: they don't.
and since even the enterprise versions as of right now don't allow for shutting off the phoning-home-shit, no IT department in any serious company touches win10 with a ten foot pole right now. everybody is clinging to win7 or 8.1 at a max, but 7 is still the most popular.
i work in a 100k employees company. got a new laptop not long ago, it had a sticker saying "Windows 10" but, alas, the IT department had fitted it with win7.
