Windows 10

I am hoping with the issues of W10 and AU that people finally jump over to Linux in mass. I know it is wishful thinking as it is a painful transference but I can hope.

 

If things keep going as they are, more will switch and more support will be added. Equal driver support and program support/efficiency is my main holdout. Here is praying M$ keeps doing what they are doing, leading to a mass exodus. Many millennials are switching over because less costs and a more open sharing mentality. I'm hoping that continues as well...

I'll be hoping along side you. I hope Micro$haft crashes and burns really bad over Windoze 10 Feces Edition.

The open sharing and just about anything else from a Millennial's perspective makes me want to puke because their socialist mentality is the unfortunate product of growing society consumed with an entitlement attitude and an obsession for instant gratification. But, if that works to our advantage here I will gladly take whatever help we can get to subdue the Redmond Mafia. They're out of control and need to get smacked around real bad.

Edit: I am not saying all Millennials are sick puppies. There are lots of them that are normal and don't think and act like Millennials in the general sense of the stereotype.

 

To date, the adoption rate has equaled Windows 7, unfortunately (although those numbers don't show those that reverted). But market share is about 20% supposedly (although I suspect those may be inflated)!

Actually, it is the crony capitalism and lack of opportunity/sharing in the profits that have bred the rejection in favour of socialistic policies. They would love to have the same opportunities, etc. But opportunities are not there like they used to be. Now, that isn't to say there are not problems with the "everybody's special" mentality, or the fact, especially with younger millennials, they don't have the same education or mentality to fight for their slice of the pie. But, this crap from M$ is not isolated. In fact, they regularly publish the highest paid jobs to get a larger influx of graduates in the area to depress the cost of labor, thereby reducing pay, forcing more experienced individuals out because their past costs too much while the younger workers with less experience get pennies compared to what the experienced worker for decades ago, which depresses their spending power, thereby hurting the economy and allowing the majority to go to shareholders and executives, which then gets reinvested...

Love it or hate, the average joe will upgrade and almost all new laptop sales will be with Winvirus 10 only

 

Then Micro$loth will blame the OEMs for low PC sales volume.

 

See my edit above on why new pc sales are slumped. It is all part of the same problem...

They don't seem to be able to grasp the notion that not everyone wants to own a piece of crap with a lousy Windows 10 cancer OS installed on it. Because they think their new dung flavored brownie recipe is delicious they assume everyone agrees with them.

 

Definitely! But I know a lot of millennials settling for their 2-4 year old machines because they are enough to get them by. They aren't enthusiasts and the little money they have they'd rather spend on something else.

Meanwhile, I remember the headaches when I worked at the law school IT help desk helping with Windows 8 failures. So glad I don't still do that!!! I'd recommend nuking the hard drive and starting over!!!

I love this thread/subforum.

 

Leave it to Fox to come up with most of those wonderful names! Cracks me up....

 

Glad to help, guys. Sometimes laughing helps avoid crying.

NICE!

 

I will never forget my first reaction to the look and feel of the Windows 8 Modern UI...

Windows 10 wasn't quite as severe... I was able to hold it back, but for a minute there I wasn't sure if I could.

 

Lmfao!!!

Yup... this is what happens when we get desensitized to evil. Our tolerance for filth increases and the next thing you know, we're eating at the trough with the other pigs. It happened with BGA first... now Windows. Some of us have built up an immunity to it, but the plague is spreading.

 

Until something changes, it will be Windows 7 + legacy Alienwares till they keel over and are no longer functional. I won't be supporting either BGA or WinX any time soon.

 

The tech preview desensitized me... At that time, benches were split, part going to win 7, part to 10 and they didn't have edge, the tiles in the menu, the search taskbar was just search or used as run, not Cortana, etc.

I just realized, their ability to run two desktops at once and switch between them may be causing part of the overhead! How the **** do you shut that down?

You need to use a really big hammer. This is how I do it. There's nothing left... almost everything that makes Windows 10 suck is gone. The icky pastel puke colors are still there until you fix that, but all of the crapware is removed from the ISO and nothing is left to install except the bare bones OS. Forced malware updates, Cortana, telemetry, biometrics, Windows Apps, Windows Store... all of that... not disabled, but completely removed without a trace.

How to: Make a Windows 10 "Super LTSB" ISO

 

I just remembered how they ****ing designed it on Windows 8.1 design. Even though it goes to desktop, the desktop is almost a virtualization ran on the bs os metro underlying craptasticness that is Windows. You just don't see the underlying metro. They used to start up with two instances of desktop running and you could switch between them or add as many open as you like/system can handle. I don't know if it still opens two by default...

No, you can still use that feature if you want to. Linux has it as well. I hate it, personally, but it has never gotten in my way or launched crap on another desktop without my knowledge. I think you can turn it off, too. I've never needed to go look for a way to so far.

 

The toolkit is built on the ADK for network deployment programs. The underlying system that lets you gut it is the same underlying system as ntlite uses.

I'll need to see what all this guts and compare it to the controls in NTLite to see what is what in each and being removed... Just curiosity...

Even though it never launched anything on the second desktop for me (and there were times I used it), if it is running a second instance of it, it is taking resources. That is what I'm wondering...

Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

 

You have to click the Task View icon by the Start menu orb and then click the plus sign to open a new desktop to activate that piece of crap.

 

Win+d I think also does. But either during insider preview or at launch, a second one would be open at boot. Granted, that was a year ago and God knows how many **** build ago!!!

It's not your phone. It's something goofed up with the forum. Almost every time I try to load a page it is messed up and I have to refresh anywhere from 2 to 5 times before the page displays correctly... not to mention constant broken image uploads. It has been like this for what feels like a long time... probably XenForo bugs.

 

I found Windows 10 faster & snappier than Windows 7 at general desktop/office/internet 'work'. I only did a fresh reinstall of Windows 7 once, so I can't really compare a fresh Windows 7 to Windows 10 as it is now, but I don't believe you should have to reinstall an OS twice a year like you say you do with Windows 7 to keep it fresh & fast - Windows 10 has not slowed down for me at all over the last year in my experience.

The Xbox One UI has become unacceptably slow
https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/4x9849/the_xbox_one_ui_has_become_unacceptably_slow/

"Day One 2013 owner here. I've been pretty disappointed with how unacceptably laggy my Xbox has become over the years. I was under the impression the Windows 10 update was supposed to speed things up but now its worse than ever."

 

AU trashed the Xbox One. FXNow keeps crashing, there is lag when trying to open up the side bar which is where all the settings, messages, friends, etc are, it's just a mess. Wifi stability tanked too and the other day my Xbox froze and shut itself off for the first time ever.

Well I have more than one reason for all the nukes... Quite frankly I get bored and want to try something different so I break my RAID occasionally and install a different OS. But I haven't found one thing that 10 does faster than 7 although getting used to not right clicking my start button takes some getting used to.

Among the atrocities associated with the Redmond Nazis control freaks is their draconian efforts to force Bing feces on everyone using Office and a recent version of Windoze. I prefer Google or Duck Duck Go. Here is how I take back control of my search provider in Office products.

Note: the article references Word, but this simple registry tweak applies the fix to all of the Office products, including Outlook.

Quantum Break is coming to Steam
http://www.overclock3d.net/news/gpu_displays/quantum_break_is_coming_to_steam/1

"We have confirmed with Remedy that the Steam version of Quantum Break will support Windows 7, meaning that the game will support DirectX 11, and will not be a UWP game.

Below are the PC system requirements for the Steam version of Quantum Break.

MINIMUM:

• OS: Windows 7 - 64 bit
• Processor: Intel Core i5-4460, 2.70GHz or AMD FX-6300
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R7 260x
• DirectX: Version 11
• Storage: 68 GB available space"

​

 

Great news. Not that I really care about Quantum Break, but in principle it is wonderful news.

Hopefully, this will be the start of a mass exodus with game developers dumping their support for the crappy UWP gaming mess. If Micro$loth fails as hard as they deserve to with XBOX they will be hurting pretty bad, and at this point they truly deserve that.

 

I'm wondering what the new system next year will look like if game developers keep pulling out!!! Who wants M$haft stink left on you!!!

Like they say, " Beauty is only skin deep." The most important part they always leave out is " ugly goes all the way down to the bone." Micro$loth is ugly to the bone.

Really, I thought it was closer to this...

 

unfortunately I didn't use simplix. I knew about it, but I don't have a login for MDL to see the post details. I googled it and found some download links but they are all from russia so I didn't go that route.
I ended up manually installing SP1, then used the MS convience rollup.
It's not like it matters anyhow since the only time I use win7 on this laptop is for rooting android devices and using wugfresh, etc.
99% of the time I boot into Linux Mint.

 

I could have slip streamed the package into a SP1 install.wim for you. Only takes about 15-20 minutes.

Nice! I'm glad to see this happened. Micro$loth's UEFI Class 3 propaganda has been a self-enriching gimmick from day one anyhow. This kind of exploit can serve good purposes for end users as well as bad. They're overstepping their boundaries by attempting to control what end users can do with their own personal property. In the right hands (a wizard like @Prema) perhaps it can be used to undo some of the damage caused by the Redmond Mafia.

 

It was only a matter of time for MS's bluff to get called

Microsoft retreats, will extend Skylake PC support to normal support lifetimes
Customers cried foul, and Microsoft changed its mind.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3106...e-pc-support-to-normal-support-lifetimes.html

"On Thursday Microsoft completed its retreat from its controversial policy regarding support for Intel’s “Skylake” processors on its older Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 operating systems. Now Skylake PCs running those OSes will receive the standard length of support.

In a controversial move, Microsoft had previously said this past January that it would only support Skylake PCs running its older operating systems for about 18 months. (Generally, mainstream support is five years and extended support is 10 years.) Support for Skylake would have run out in July 2017, far earlier than for older systems powered by Intel’s “Broadwell” processors.

Now, the support lifetimes for “Broadwell” and “Skylake” PCs are the same: Windows 7 support will expire on January 14, 2020, and support for Windows 8.1 will end January 10, 2023. Microsoft noted the changes in a blog post it published Thursday.

Why this matters: Microsoft originally pitched the changes to its support lifecycle as a positive: The older OSes were designed with older CPUs in mind. Thus Intel's Skylake was not only not optimized for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, but it also required special tweaks to ensure those OSes remain compatible.

But customers latched on to the fact that Microsoft was ending support years early for Skylake PCs, and Microsoft has steadily backtracked since then. The dam started crumbling a month later, for example, when the Windows Server team publicly stated that it would not be enforcing Microsoft’s policy and it would support Skylake-based servers through the original support dates."

" Be sure your sin will find you out..." It's about time they pulled their heads out... hopefully, their house of cards will continue to collapse. Those with evil intentions deserve for the winds of adversity to develop into a devastating hurricane.

 

MS is going to get real "corporate backlash" on the remaining pre-Windows 10 support point, which MS is still holding on to:

• "As previously communicated earlier this year, future silicon platforms including Intel’s upcoming 7th Gen Intel Core (Kaby Lake) processor family and AMD’s 7th generation processors (e.g. Bristol Ridge) will only be supported on Windows 10, and all future silicon releases will require the latest release of Windows 10."

From:

https://blogs.windows.com/business/2016/08/11/updates-to-silicon-support-policy-for-windows/

MS is really gonna get hurt by this one.

 

Good... very good. They deserve pestilence for their untoward behaviors. All I can say is, may the Refiner's fires of hell engulf them and burn hot until they are purified. Only then will they offer value as fine gold.

 

MS already said they can't pull back all the keys = never secure moving forward. They ****ed themselves on this, especially with companies that saw value in it!!! Be honest, I would be on the phone ripping them, telling them I want a credit or refund if my company paid for it for a reason... That is their main bread winner-corporations!
