Windows 7 just got BTFO off of its throne.

Why didn't you upgrade yet /v/?
>>
because older games run like shit on it. I went back and forth a couple of times between Win7 and Win10 and the former works better for me.
>>
>>332919796
I did.
Haven't noticed any improvements, only did because it was free and because of DirectX 12.

No thanks.
For once, start using your brain and ask yourself:
Why is Windows 10 free?
Want me to tell you why?
Because its cheaper to get retards with "free stuff" rather than paying beta testers to to their job.

Why would they EVER want to pay beta testers when they can get idiots like you, OP. So you can beta test their software and when you fuck up your system, you'll bitch at 'em. Your bitching will be ignored and Windows 11 or 12 or whatever will get released.

They won't even thank you for your beta testing.

Personally I'd go for W8.1 unless you feel confident that nothing will break when going onto W10. Either way the biggest reason to upgrade to W10 atm is Quantum Break and that will probably flop anyway.

on the subject for windows 10 i got this email not too long ago
remember when they said windows 10 will only be free a few months after release ?? and that was about a year ago
i mean of course theres more windows 10 users they FORCE YOU to upgrade
once the proper files get on your computer you need to extensively look up ways to get those files off your computer or download 3ed party tools to delete them
if those arent done there no longer is a "Upgrade Later" option after so long there is an upgrade NOW and a Suck it Option

so yea of course theres more windows 10 users theres no choice in the matter hopefully after the date in pic related we wont have to deal with this shit anymore but probably not its probably going to stay free and force as many people as possible to download their adware and spyware

also cortana is the stupidest app ever it just fucking google searches what you ask it

it isn't. if you have a legal Windows 7 or 8 key you can get it for free for "limited time", otherwise you still have to pay. OEM still pay money for Windows, legal system builders pay. In short update is free, Windows 10 isn't.

There won't be a windows 11 or 12. They want Windows to become a service rather than a product. That's why it's free. It's always going to be free from now on. They're making preparations for the age of everyone using smartphones and chrome books, a time when nobody's going to give two shits about desktop machines for anything other than games or work. Things aren't like how they used to be and the best way for them to proceed is to change their business model.

Daily reminder that Microsoft used malware tactics to push GWX adware through their security update service and with windows 10 you won't have the option to not install these types of updates when they inevitably push more through.

>updating

Lmao, I just got employed to do e-commerce and my boss is buying me a laptop and he's deeply sorrowful that he might not be able to find one that doesn't have windows 10 on it.

Sorry, but by heckling your users to upgrade does not make it an executive device. There are too many laptops that [as mentioned] have windows 10 on them by default. New towers [for the sad fucks who buy prebuilt ones]. And that's not their fault. It's windows.

I know this is a shill thread, but that should really clarify as to why windows 10 is "popular".

It's only a legitimate argument if you use Linux. If you don't : shut the fuck up kid. You're getting spied the exact same way as a W10 user, whatever the version you're using.

W10 wasn't just made to be idiot-proof, it was also made to be smart-person-proof. There's literally nothing you can do to stop Win10 dialing home short of manually blocking ports/addresses on your router.

Do you think you can stop the PEOPLE THAT MADE THE FUCKING OPERATING SYSTEM YOU'RE USING from spying on you by doing your shitty registry tricks or not installing updates ? You're one dumb kid. As long as you're online and using a Microsoft product your privacy virtually doesn't exist. Period.

>>332933845
All Windows version aren't "all the same". But when it comes to privacy they're all the same, you get fucked either way. Hence why i'm laughing at kids thinking they're hot shit staying on W7 while they get fucked in the ass in the exact same fashion as these "dumb W10 users lmaoooo XDDD".

The issues with 7 can be taken care of and they're nowhere near on the same level as 10. With 10 you also have less control over the system itself.

Why does everyone assume you're not "using your brain" when it comes to Windows 10 being free?
There is a very obvious business plan in place as to why it is free.
Microsoft has shifted their business model to be selling services as opposed to products.
They give you Windows for free and then they have more people ready to buy Office 365, Onedrive and Skype along with any Apps like Killer Instinct or Gears of War.
The free W10 period is pretty much them advertising their "ecosystem".
They're building their installbase.

Let me give you another example.
Remember when PS3s were being sold at a loss?
Someone might say "well why would Sony do that?"
And the answer was of course they were growing an install base to sell software to.
Same for MS now, they're selling software and subscriptions off the back of these giveaways.

I'm sorry but there's nothing more embarrassing than someone pretending to know what they're talking about and then completely ignore the obvious reason.

I hope you fucking retards realise that "advertisements" in Windows 10 aren't really a thing?

Listen, if you don't want anything to do with Microsoft's shitty "app store", simply do not use a "Microsoft Account" to log-in to Windows 10. Simple. Once you do that, all the data-mining is minimised and you won't get advertisements since you don't use the Store.
