I wish they would be better by just shutting down their worthless UWP feces store. They host utter filth and I wish only the absolute worst for them financially.

I used to support them very much, dedicated my time and resources to try and get familiar with their OS but they aren't faithful and pull the plug w/o any remorse. So, I prefer Google Or Apple's products because they have your backs and pull through bad times. MSFT business model is Windows, Azure and Office which won't vanish anytime soon unless Doomsday decides to visit the earth just for giggles and turn us into manure for Earth's sustenance.Arrrrbol, Ashtrix, Papusan and 1 other person like this.

Yeah, they're a scummy lot. I used Linux Mint all week while traveling on my ZBook. I installed it when I got to my hotel on Sunday and let it have the MSATA SSD that Windows 10 was running on. So, I have Mint on that drive and Windows 7 on the 1TB SSD.

whats your current setup on the Zbook? in terms of hardware, i mean.

Maxon Sends Legal Threats to PC Enthusiast Websites Hosting Portable Cinebench R20 Downloads
TPU also got legal threats, This is exactly the same garbage that M$ pulled out with Chevron back when the Windows Phone existed (will update links later, at work - Done). Chevron was an unlocking tool for WP OS, to enable Regedit and .cab execution making it a more powerful powerhouse, CEO Nadella greed pushed it for massive change and we know how it ended.
And since M$ paying these companies to support that UWP trash only. We are shoved down this draconian filth. Note how they say it works with Win7SP1. A gigantic lie massive hypocrisy.
TPU's W1zzard already on fence on using this rubbish pile of junk. CBR15 Extreme is already there why bother with this. Never support these tactics. If we do they'll gain a huge advantage. Also TPU, Guru3D are the cornerstone for such Software - Freeware/Shareware for us HW enthusiasts and this BS strikes with some ridiculous EULA, Guess everyone knows Win10 EULA for Hope edition too for inbuilt Keylogger violating everything, not leaving a single shred of a Personal Computer aspect.Last edited: Mar 11, 2019Vasudev, jaybee83, Papusan and 1 other person like this. -

Maxon Offers Cinebench R20 Direct Download - Microsoft Store Not Required Techpowerup.com | March 26, 2019
Originally Cinebench R20 was released to the Microsoft Store which as you can probably guess caused a bit of negative PR for Maxon due to the benchmarks popularity within the enthusiast community. What really seemed to fuel the fire was the fact it was always freely distributed just about everywhere even here on TechPowerUp. Fast forward to the latest release and with it being locked to a digital walled garden of sorts really didn't sit too well within the community. However, it did not take long for enterprising enthusiasts to discover you could make it standalone.
This prompted Maxon to request the hosted files be taken down which generated quite the discussion within our own forums both for and against the move. Yet in the end, Maxon's reasoning behind their decision still remains a bit perplexing and with little clarity. Even more so now as the company has released there very own standalone version. Which leads us to wonder why they went about doing things in this circuitous manner in the first place. Still, this standalone release will likely be met with much more fanfare, well that is if the download link pointed to the right files. Currently, the official download page will direct users to a Mac .dmg file, which seems to be a copy and paste mistake. We figured out the correct link, it's listed below.

Playing a little more. I think my Windows 7 is getting stuffed up and I might do a clean install to eliminate some of the cooties and cobwebs that have accumulated. I haven't bypassed the radiators yet to get it down closer to 0°C, just some down and dirty runs after work. These are also not my best scores, but pretty close (as they were with the radiators bypassed and running about 10°C colder).
Physics Only
Full Run...

Yay! They LISTENED. They have regained my respect. Micro$lop needs to take this as a stern message. They need to listen and comply with the expectations of their customers while they still have enough left to keep the lights on. If they do not, they will be damned (as if they are not already on the slide down that slippery slope to perdition).Spartan@HIDevolution, Ashtrix, jaybee83 and 1 other person like this.
