  • Windows 10

    I just got a message on my PC that Windows 10 is coming on July 29th and that it will be available as a free upgrade to us non-Mac users.

    So be prepared for Windows 10! Well, not just Windows 10, but also the massive suck that will probably come from SCs. I can just imagine the following:
    • People complaining about not having enough disk space to install the OS (about 3GB is required).
    • People complaining about how Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 was better.
    • People constantly asking for help with Windows 10, even though you gave them simple, easy-to-follow instructions.
    • People accusing you of screwing up their PCs or accusing hackers of installing Windows 10 without their consent, when in reality, they clicked on the download link because they thought it would lead them to pictures of cute kittens.
    • People complaining in general.


    You have been warned.

        3G for the operating system alone??? I remember when FAT32 came in, allowing for a partition larger than 2G - and when FAT was extended to allow a maximum partition of 2G instead of the former 512M - and when FAT was extended to allow a maximum partition of 512M instead of the former 32M. Now get off my lawn, you young whippersnappers.

          Oddly enough, regardless of what the requirements say, win7 took up less space on my old office's HDDs than win8 did (clean install, all 64bit pro).

          FAT32? Hah! Back in my day....*grumble yada*

            you forgot XP (as I sit here and type on an XP laptop. Got 7 running on a desktop so I'm not a complete Luddite).

              Don't people understand that they don't have to upgrade if they don't want to?

                  I was actually thinking about what if people accidentally reserve their copy of Windows 10, and then get a notification that it is ready to be installed, they will probably accuse you, the tech support, of downloading a virus onto their machines.

                  And yes, people do have to upgrade if they want to play the newest games. I'm sure that when Win10 comes on July 29th, the complaints will come on July 30th.

                        How is the current state of 10, anyway? the last I heard from the other thread was ages ago, and could basically be summed up as "It isn't win8 -- Thank <diety>" and, perhaps more importantly "Steam and most games seem to work just fine"

                        Good? Bad? Ugly? Any specific compatibility woes?

                          It does sound like it's an improvement over Windows 8. That isn't difficult.

                          I'm less certain whether it's an improvement over Windows 7. I'm going to stick with that for the sake of my sanity.

                            Yeah -- I'll download my ISO (or however it's done) once I can, but I'd rather wait for the customary SP1 to actually install it.

                              I say about a millisecond after the initial download if that long.
