they simply refuse to realise that touch-ui and desktop-ui don't go together ... guess its simplier to bang with head against wall till you crack it

mmh ReactOS was ran over time IMO not worth using it

yup most notable SMB and Spectre-Meltdown fixes

how can you be sure they are "programmers" ? maybe they only short-employ high-school kids for practice hours

people will always find a way... for MS to make force bypass, will have to constantly patch high level system files, which IMO ain't worth it...

youre brave I stopped at 2015 only the spectre-meltdown ones are "newer"

i'm actually amaized how winblows 10 survived this long unfortunately i can't seem to see "light on end of tunnel" can you ?

thing is that question "how is it better" doesn't apply anymore they do what is easier for them, old method meant prolonged support for X version of winblows now they spit out every few months a whole gigantic crap, and support for previous "build" is gone and their excuse is simple and effective: you have to use latest quality = zero

lol, last sentence was best "you'll get this update, if you want it or not" ahahaha

shiiit, win98 worked better haha

dunno if Stardock's Winblinds work on winblows 10 but yesterday i saw few skins that quite changed the fuglyness of winblows 10 you might consider that as last option

agreed hes just 1 and how many devs are out there ? ...

mmm maybe it can't backup activly used system files these are usualy tagged with $ prefix

it was always that year for Enterprise and Pro SKU's, since they are VLK

better finish it good I say !

thats a lul remember older times when upgrading from 98 to XP took maybe 1 hour and maybe some bit more yet hardware was crap comparing to now now you have freaking warp speed and it takes 20 hours (probably coz of all winblows 10 garbage stiffed in) what happened to - protect/lock programs and user data and simply overwrite every other system file ? -> winblows 10 happened maybe before "upgrade" they are scanning your HDD's to see what toilet paper you use the most

but what powers the UI the DWM (D3D) or "classic shell" (D2D) ?

soo does this mean M$ is done with any mobile platform ? will they return to desktop ? or what ...

since i only touched winblows 10 ONCE how does Server display UI ? also via forced DWM or without it ?

even if it did, it does it by forcing machines to upgrade without any consent

does Russian goverment use winblows 10 ?

space isn't problem anymore thats why I copied whole SxS back over, but you can still save 5 GB if you filter out all _language_ (except en-us, _none_, and yours) and remove backup folder

wow sometimes i just amaize myself how dumb but easy things i do hahaha so the way to bypass "corrupted component store" error (if you trimmed your SxS folder) 1. copy your current WinSxS folder somewhere.... 2. take ownership of \Windows\WinSxS folder 3. copy BACK from untouched source (iso/wim) WinSxS and Merge with your current one 4. (just to be safe), copy over/merge the backuped one with one in your Windir and voila, you can install updates now with no problem your "comp. store" is now "fixed"

so issue I have is a modified win7 (reduced size, removed components bla bla bla) question is, is there easy way to "over copy" (or install) full-blown // untouched OS from DVD/ISO without going through format and all driver crap detection while leaving Program Files (and apps) intact ?

1. devs didn't "mess to bring old opera", they just issued a patched version to fix certificate problems 2. you can try hex-edit opera.dll and change user agent string, see if that helps, just make sure there are equal bytes used as in original
