7 took a shit load of time. By the 1 year gap, it will likely be at 50%

I know most of the downsides, so what are the actual upsides of Win 10?

I've heard the crashes and of course the spyware of course, and how it runs old games like shiet, but what actually gets better with Win 10 and what do I have to download to make it look like Win 7 instead of a phone tablet.

Also, most importantly for me, what gets wiped and what gets saved?

This is what gets me. The 7 cucks always say that W10 spies on you and sells your data to Microsoft, but they don't realize that ANY proprietary OS does the same, much less another version of Windows.

Coming from Windows 8.1, aside from a faster boot up and a slightly better memory performance, windows 10 doesn't really impress me. If you're on 7 then 10 would be a semi worthwhile upgrade but if you're on 8 they really is no reason to upgrade.

Both will likely be used.

Though MS has it's xbox userbase to convince devs to use dx12 for pc + scorpio

Gabe could have pushed vulkan by making some games though.

Another reason could have been do vulkan to reach people on windows 7 but that market is shrinking and no one cares about Linux

Just found out the motherboard I got from ebay has a built-in creative sound blaster live chip built into it, eax and stuff, and 7 is the last windows that can use it. So there's that.

Dual or multi-boot so that windows 7 is alongside 10. It's what I've done.

Haven't touched my windows 10 partition since there aren't any new games I want to play coming out of Microsoft aside from Scalebound.

Why should Gaben make games when organizing a tournament yearly nets him AAA games level of profit annually with fucking minimal effort.

>Make some hats
>People throw cash at you like it is fucking grows on trees

They made 40 million 2 years ago. 60 million the next. They look like they will make fucking 80 million this year from hats alone.

And that is just Dota2. They still have another cash cow in CSGO. Gaben literally has 0 reasons to make risky investment like making games.
>>
>>343501016

Because being stagnant is never smart

He could have made many games on steam as exclusive to shill his steambox and lure devs to vulkan
>>
>>343501287
Steam can afford to be stagnant. They have the 2nd largest monopoly on Esports after Riot. Largest monopoly on PC game distribution and platform. They are currently investing in VR tech as well as steambox. No reason to overextend and go into games as well.
>>
>>343501480
>Steam can afford to be stagnant.

No, no they can't. They're letting MS call the shots on apis again.

On top of that, they have sony, ms and nintendo as storefronts to compete with on other devices. Companies which continue to make and fund games despite having a large following.
>>
>>343501856
>On other devices.
Steam doesn't give a fucking shit about other devices. They will remain king on the PC and will do so for the foreseeable future. They have absolutely 0 reason to compete in the console arena and would be retarded to do so. They came in market dominance with DX11 around, they will continue to dominate with DX12. Vulkan is just a side experiment to Gaben. Nothing more.

I am so glad you aren't the marketing director or strategist for Valve.
>>
>>343501989
>They will remain king on the PC

When people start going scorpio/ps4/nx and move away from the pc we'll see how they do.

Simply put they need to shit out actual games which they are clearly capable of doing if they wish to keep the pc market healthy. Sitting on cs go and dota is a fools move.

It's only 43% on steam too, don't forget about that part.

If you compare this chart to those from 6 months ago or so, a lot of people using Windows 8 upgraded to 10.

Windows 7 and 8.1 have more or less the same userbase as they used to.
>>
>>343499569
I was planning to do something alongside those lines - divide my SSD in 2 partitions to set up a W10 boot option.

It's been a while since last time i've got around doing that kind of setup, have been mostly toying around virtual machines for work/compatibility stuff instead but it's not a good solutions for gaming.
