Microsoft Debate

First topic message reminder :

If anyone is wondering, Windows 8 was originally intended for mobile devices but Microsoft had to develop the 8.1 patch because many people still use a desktop computer rather than a mobile device. Unfortunately there's going to be a time when support for win7 (which is what I'm using at present) will end, but I'm hoping that this doesn't happen anytime soon.

Before windows 8.1 there was NO start button, just a start corner . Windows 8.1 gave us a start button. Personally I believe it deserves to be called more then a 'patch', I think it shoulz be called a new VERSION of Windows 8.

that may be, but the official wording of it is a "windows 8 patch"

I know what official wording it is, but I personally feel 'patch' is too mild of a word for it.

well,that's something you have to talk to the clowns at Microsoft about

Nope, I will just call it a new version .

Reading all of the comments in here has somehow made me feel like I've created an ugly monster

some are worse than others, so don't take it so hard

Why would you think that? You started a great topic, not an ugly monster .

some of them are worse than others, so you needn't take it so hard

Before the end of this month I will be getting all of the tips from my uncle who is a computer expert along with a tech squad guy for a whole price range in what it should be to upgrade with everything on there too. Also to get hooked up with everything too. I know it will take me a while to figure out Windows 10. I am just hoping it will work with iTunes and Spotify since I do use both of them now too. I am also hoping Windows 10 has Windows Media Player since I do use that also. But I will figure it all before the end of this month

Unless they ever decide to do away with Windows Media player like they did Internet Explorer (exploder).

I did find out that Windows 10 did have Windows Media Player but I know Windows 10 has a new version of Internet Explorer with Adblock on it. I am sure I will install Google Chrome on the laptop and still use Internet Explorer since I switch back and forth from Internet Explorer and Google Chrome now. I was just wondering about Windows Media Player since I do use it to play music on the computer along with Spotify and I haven't used iTunes for music but I could with Apple Music to listen to new music that has came out. Anyways after Easter I hope to have found a laptop for a good price with Windows 10 and the newest version of Microsoft Office too. It will just take a while getting used to Windows 10 since I have been using Windows Vista for a long time now

vista's too hit or miss for most, so they've skipped it

We sell a netbook that windows 10 for $199.00 at Walmart, if your interested I could give you the link?

will stick with win 7 for a while

Sure, go right ahead and do that. I was just offering this to Josh, since he seems to want to switch Windows 10 anyway .

people are going to resist win 10 as much as possible

Not everybody, some people won't and some people will. It depends on the person .

most people will, it's being forced on us

Bump

but you can go back if you don't like windows 10

I am still getting used to Windows 10 on the laptop. I still have Windows Vista on my old computer. It is good to switch back and forth. Windows 10 is all still new to me. I am very used to Windows Vista. I know I will get used to Windows 10 at some point

Yeah Windows 10 is a big leap from Vista for sure. If someone had ever used Windows 7 though, it appears to be very similar atleast on the desktop. They combined the best from windows 7 and Windows 8 to make Windows 10 from my impressions of the pictures of it that I have seen.

windows 10 is a disaster, avoid it for as long as possible

Win10 is hard to avoid, since Microsoft is promoting it so damn heavily.

That they are, there whole free upgrade to windows 10 for a year for eligible computers will be ending soon, in a nonth or two, sl that will be good and the risk of accidental/ un wanted system upgrade will go away or atleast be very slight.

a good way to avoid it, is turning your automatic updates off, windows 10 is a piece of garbage
