no

nope

ok. What's the number 1 thing you want your os to do? Look flashy? no. New features you're never gonna use? nope. All your os should do is be stable and not prevent you from doing whatever the fuck you wanna do.
Also it's free. Things aren't free.

So yeah if you wanna be an unpaid beta tester go right fucking ahead.-

if you're not concerned about privacy then switch.
I used win 7 at home and win 10 at work.
It feels like a superficial change of UI. Everything else under the hood seems to work the same.

People got pissed about the forced updates but I didn't encounter that, maybe we got different version at work (I think you can forced updates off in Enterprise edition)

Only if you don't mind Microsoft owning your life.

i mostly game
>privacy
so is it easier for them to detect piracy?

If you think direct X is important then yes absolutely upgrade. Turn all the bullshit spying stuff off which is easy to do

I only read rumors. But they seem to have a clause in their EULA where they say they'll phone home details about your files, your searches, etc.
Could be that they detect piracy. Wouldn't put it past them.

>windows 10
Enjoy your botnet

>thinking you can stop windows from calling home

stay at 7
dualboot debian, mint, ubuntu or a similar distribution
use microshit for gaming and linux for everything else

>It feels like a superficial change of UI. Everything else under the hood seems to work the same.


This, I've no clue why I upgraded, since everything is pretty much the same, with the exception of a few features I never will use it is completely pointless

install gentoo instead

All the functions that Microsoft use to collect data about you are present in windows 7, 8 and 8.1.

I think it's pretty good. Only problem is some slight driver problems but nothing that wasn't fixable.

They do indeed have that clause in their EULA.

Im torn op.

For one, the whole NSA SPY TOOL RAH RAH thing, whatever. Who gives a shit. They want into your shit, it doesnt matter what OS you use.

To be honest. Ive used every version of windows since 3.11, including weird or obscure builds, like CE for microwaves and shit like that.

and sadly, I quite like win 10. Its clean, you can do everything within a couple of clicks, or straight out of the start bar.

Forever and a day, it used to be about the desktop. OH GOD I MUST KEEP MY LEGACY DESKTOP.

I barely even look at the desktop anymore. The shortcuts dropped there are usually just default on install that I cbf deleting.

I guess im a convert.

Or the weird NSA brain rays they push through it have gotten to me.

Either way, I find it works, its fucking fast, and seems pretty damn polished.

>Should i downgrade to Windows 10

Fixed it for you

>yfw im still on win XP sp3

download winxp black edition from thepiratebay

MINUS 10 POINTS FOR EDGE THOUGH.

Forgot to mention that.

Edge looks pretty. Until you open more than two tabs and it comes grinding to a halt.

I have 32gb of ram and edge can still cause my box to drag its ass like a potato.

enjoy being more open and exposed than a 2 dollar hooker, user.

You guys are actually way too tin-foil with your privacy concerns.

I work at Microsoft.
Windows 10 (and pretty much all Microsoft products) phone home with ANONYMISED DATA such as the following:

How long did "generic_action_X" (think opening the start bar) take, what part of the process was slow? [Used for improving performance in future fixes]

When the user searches, do they then click on a result? (no search terms, only metadata about query length and click/ranking positions) [Used to evaluate Cortana/test if tweaks improve or degrade her performance]

What sort of hardware does the user have [Used to prioritise fixes/performance tweaks and you can estimate how many devices will be affected]

It's impossible to track anything about a particular user, it's collapsed into a meaningless ID so you can identify a session, but with no way to actually work out who that is.
Anything that could be used to identify a user or what programs they are using is forbidden to track.

Also, I worked many places before MS. If you think any big company (Google/Amazon/Apple/...) isn't doing this, you're a fool.

Wait for around another year or 2. I've had to sort out a lot of old people's PC's that have upgraded and there is so much to do to set it up to A) not spy on everything you do and B) stop it advertising everywhere and C)remove all the pointless bloatware shitty apps.

Which linux distribution should i use? What are the differences between them?

Look even if you dont care about them looking at your shit, the act of looking at your shit takes away processing power and slows down your PC. If you game/video edit you don't want this shit.

>yfw i dont even have antivirus. Just Malware bytes which i run just everyonce in a while.
It uses resources as fuk

what do?

dude. You use want to use linux? Have fuckin fun, you sheeple NSA cuck.

Its all about unix bro. Gimme code or gimme death.

No, I'd say.

The problem with Windows 10 is that it's basically shit in every way that counts.

Stable? No.
Secure? No.
Has adequate privacy policy? No.

Also, what you are referring to as 'Windows 10' is actually 'Windows 10 + NSA'.

Sup Forums here.
10 offers nothing which 7 can't do.
Don't "Upgrade" for some nsa shit.

If you want a new OS, fool around with Linux a Bit (mint, Ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu).

No. Stay in the past and die you stone age mother fucker
Anyone who denies progress should be lined up and shot
Great men pull your reluctant ass to the full potential of humanity
You dither, your weak parasite ass feeding off the sweat of the producers
And you dare ask should I?
You March forward because we need to
You miserable fuck

so u say 7 is the best windows version?

uhh, this is my gaming rig as well. Its not struggled with a thing. and im only running two 770 gtx sli with some good ram.

Id agree with you, if you werent wrong.

Most games make little to no use of multiple threaded cores.

All that lookup shit? spread over 8 cores.

You arent going to notice cortana looking at your porn collection while your minecrafting made.

Dude. Just asked a question. Go someplace else with your autism

>implying he's worthy for the nsa to spy on
>"OH no! They'll know I pirated adobe, downloaded the fappening and have nothing of value to say"

Windows 10 LTSB masterrace!

No but seriously, upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 pro but got really angry about all the crap that crep into my pc along with the upgrade.
All these modern apps are completely useless mobile ports that should not be used on anything that have more processing power than your phone.

Wiped my computer and installed Windows 10 LTSB which is basically Windows 7.1 with a bit more modern UI. No modern apps at all (nice), but no native picture viewer because windows photo viewer is now an app (not nice). [Install Pictus which I found better anyways]

I sort of like it but had to install some fixes to the more retared features of windows explorer... WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE THE DETAILS PANE ON THE ENTIRE RIGHT HAND SIDE???

How does waiting help?

if you need to ask what build, then youre not going to be successfully using linux. Just stick to Babbys first OS.

...

you're retardary made me chuckle

I didn't say that.
I said there is nothing worth leaving 7 for.
8 is a shit tablet OS
8.1 is a tablet OS with a nicer gui
10 is some serious nsa shit and you get nothing in return.

7 is still fine

same,i use some portable antiviruses that dont have real time scanner

Theres such a thing as oversaturation too.

The point of where so much data becomes completely overwhelming and ambiguous. Even if it could be archived, databased and kept. It would be hammered.

Every second, of every day, for whats a standard shelf life of an OS, 5 years?

Yeah, good luck making a meaningful interpretation out of that mess.

Youd have to be rainman even to link up a certain event at a certain time.

A ton of stuff isnt compatible, especially older games.

On lower end PCs windows 10 is beast, it's just a lighter, prettier version of windows 7.

If your worried about privacy install Ubuntu and then remove wireless adapters and ethernet cables. But something tells me you won't.

jokes on you I'm sending this post via smoke signs.

I haven't found an incompatible game yet. And my games library stretches back to about 1985.

YOU FOOL.

DONT YOU KNOW THAT THE NSA HAS ATMOSPHERIC PROCESSORS THAT CAPTURE THAT SMOKE FOR DECRYPTION LATER ON?!

I'd consider it on my desktop but I wouldnt be happy, knowing it's doing shit in the background that isnt essential. Laptop, no fucking way. I guess expensive gaming laptop but say I have a 600 laptop for travelling and it struggles already with new games.

which are those?

/thread

which is the best windows version in ur opinion

Why don't you dick breaths understand the stupidity in this argument. By your logic, let's go a step ahead and have the government install cameras in everyone's house. You shouldn't complain since clearly you won't be "worthy for the NSA to spy on." Fucking cunt faced dweeb.

Nah bro the feds see that shit for miles. You have to dig a tunnel to where you need to message and then fly a messager pigeon down it. It's the only way.

7

hell fuck no

XP, now Im a macfag

I dig it, like I said, I come from a long line of windows usage.

I get the ending every non essential task mentality, modifying your startup, using lighter or cut down versions of programs etc.

But in reality, the overhead is that low, its hardly perceptible.

Maybe ive just lost my care.

But the reality is, it does not matter what you run, or how tight you lock it down, if its on the internet, it has to be considered open.

The gubmint really doesnt care. Unless youre brown skinned and like non christian religions.

I can only lose, whichever answer I give you someone will call bullshit on me and tell you their option is the superior choise, but here I go:

I've used the two big mainstream options Ubuntu and Linux Mint, but I've also tried the extremely tinu LXLE.

They are all quite easy to use after getting to know them. I would probably recommend Mint as your first switch from windows to a linux enviroment.

My biggest recommendation is however, to learn how to use the terminal as it will solve any and ll problems you will ever have.

Comodo Cleaning Essentials and Emsisoft Emergency Toolkit

Go fuck your clunt mouth. Fucking faggot thinks he's a special snowflake for using Linux. Cuckwhore

Why do they call it Windows 10?

Because when you see it you turn 10 degrees, pull down your trousers and slap your knees as fast as you can.

I'm a big time supporter of windows 10 but I'm using 7 right now because my CPU isn't compatible with windows 10.

>Theres such a thing as oversaturation too.
Typically different teams look at different metrics.
There's 100k + engineers, everyone has a piece of the pie to improve.

> Every second, of every day, for whats a standard shelf life of an OS, 5 years?
Win10 and web apps are continuously updated, you look at the last week or month and draw conclusions from that.

> Youd have to be rainman even to link up a certain event at a certain time.

You aren't looking at individual events, you are looking for trends that affect significant segments of the user-base.
I diagnose issues in other people's code in this way and drive improvements on a daily basis, it's really not that difficult once you have a good framework built up.

no, its more that, your going to be spied on, no matter what you run/install/do.

Anything you can do, they can do better.

If they want to spy on you, it shall be done. Regardless of your opinion or thought.

Why struggle. It just makes the ass rape worse.

DO NOT DO IT.

They don't need to worry about processing if they can store everything. And storage is cheap. Processing can always come later.

Wut? How old is your computer?

...

7 with Service pack 2, Updates turned off
The common vir/g/in would banter you installing no antivirus at all, but i would suggest getting Kaspersky 2016 for 10€/$ from ebay.
Thats enough for safety.

Thanks, will look at it

Because every change in the past hasn't come from lying down and taking it like your cuck mouth advises.

So by that standard, they are using the metrics to design and deploy better products? THE CHEEKY DEVILS.

When it comes to archiving all your shit, your web history and safety concerns, what info is going to be gleaned from a machine that the top tier, google, facebook etc internet provider history isnt going to be able to provide first, legally, apart from the hard evidence.

Im not saying it doesnt exsist. Im just saying that its pointless to imply that its just there purely to spy on you, because it would be meaningless and incomprehensible at a single user level.

Actually not that old. I was using 10 with a dual core pentium but when I got a duo for free and put it in I realised duos don't work with anything past 7.

...

you guys realize that microsoft patched the same privacy invading stuff that they are doing with windows 10 into windows 7 months ago, right? if you have an updated windows 7 they are happily collecting all your data.

lol

okay, peasant, stop sharpening your plowshare and get this as a concept.

You and your megre resistance.... calling me a cuck? really? jesus. But anyway, you and basically nobody alone has ever stopped anything from occurring, other than in anyway that some elite tier have wanted it.

no.

youtube.com/watch?v=VMPeTrHNX1U

You sound like exactly the type of person these "elite tiers" would dream of ruling. North Korea Ned's more people of your kind. Enjoy living life like the loser cunt faced cuck that you are.

Are you 100% sure?
Wasn't there some bug that made the upgrade program think you had an incompatible CPU or something... Do some googling and se if it is really incompatible and not just some wrong settings in your BIOS.

dude.... the last duo revision was like 4th quarter 07, first quarter 08.

Thats very nearly a decade ago.

Your computer is old. how long does that bootup take?

Exactly, finally an user with a shred of common sense.

I tried convincing people of this but I gave up because everyone assumes it's shilling, even though it's the truth.

ha I think people lose track of time. I've had mine for about 3 years and I know it's getting old.

haha yes yes, im the overlorded, part of the abused and suffering class that has no say, no control of their fate, or no way to know what is being decided for me.

I know this and accept this. Because, there is fuck all I can do to change that. I chose not to resist, because I can conserve my energy to resist when it actually counts.

The difference between me and you is, you somehow mistakenly believe you live outside this system?

Welcome to the ruling class. You or I are not apart of it. Get used to it. Itll hurt less once your working and paying off that mortgage and no longer concerned for such trivial shit.

So guys, going back to OPs question (since I too am in the same boat), is upgrading to windows 10 from 7 worth it? Is gaming good, what about wacom tablets? Pirated software?

I just see it as a pointless struggle.

Sure. I dont like it.
Sure. They collect my info.
Sure. I can resist. And make the inevitable smackdown harder.

But there is literally no point.

You cant protect yourself.
You cant cover your tracks.
You cant hide.
They have all your info and wrong doings, all in a nice neat little package before they even collect your machine. Picking up the physical box is the last move now days.

Who cares. Rights went out the window a long time ago.

Might as well just enjoy the ride and get me a shiny new start bar while im at it.

Owner of a computer repair company here:

If you game or only use the internet/don't care about computers, yes.

If you use your computer to do work (Quickbooks, AutoCAD, PhotoShop, etc) or generally need it to do productive things, no.

You really will not get benefit from Win 10 YET until about 1st quarter of 2017 when everything is ironed out. I would make sure you hit "reserve" before June/july so you still get it for free, but you don't really want/need it unless you also have a windows phone/tablet/xbox for device integration.

By 2017, the apps will be up to date and the new phones will be out and then yes, definitely upgrade.

Edge is an extremely efficient and lightning fast way to download chrome or firefox.

Topshelf kek.

Seriously. The data mining in 10 is at worst the same shit that your android or iphone does and you have WAAAAAAAY more info on that thing for it to mine.

Cell phones are absolutely terrifying if you ask me. You can't even see the fucking file system or how the apps interact. Plus with all the sensors and cameras, if they had legs they would walk away.

Your PC having a talking search bar is the absolute least of your privacy concerns.

yes

Complains in excess about security & privacy concerns for an OS who is continually tying to improve their product.

>uses iphone, google, facebook, maps, and any other flavor of the month datamine app.

Keep ragin against that machine, bro.

It's pretty clear to me that edge is 100% geared towards security and not functionality.

It doesn't support addons, it doesn't run under the administrator account, you can't set a home page automatically, it doesn't support any of the native IE settings, the whole registry block is completely new...

Clearly it's meant for virus protection/to handle digital signatures. That's really what it's for.

You're a cuckhold talker. Listing to cucks like you makes me thirsty and hungry. If any more words come pouring out your cuck mouth, I'll have to eat all the fucking chicken in my fridge.

Seriously though, are you of the negro descent by any chance? Because that would help me understand your willingness to be able to just lay dow, shut your cunt mouth, and take in the ass from the ruling class.

>sheeeit

Where did I complain about 10's security and privacy?

Incidentally, I have a windows phone, I don't use facebook, and the gps is disabled in my phone....so....not sure what you're talking about.

Do you project much, mate? Or are you just summer.

Tell me what your doing, aside from not using windows 10, to throw a spanner in the gears and cogs of The Machine TM.

Go back to thumping your chest, little man. If you want to be a martyr, I'll gladly point you out when the revolution comes.

I fucking hate the fucking autocorrect on this cunt of a phone. Go duck yourself in the ass Google

wrong reply, sall good lil homie.

lol..... did ........ did you just attack me about my lack of concern of privacy, on a fucking google phone?

this is like some kind of summer overload. Summerception.
