seriously, comparing to old skin this one sucks donkey balls how do I change to something better ? my profile offers nothing

don't have high hopes from 8.1 nothing big in Client came, they did more things in server R2 than Client (w 8.1) for client, what they tweaked the start panel, they added flag button and some few tweaks to file manager (explorer) with virtual folders some more small tweaks to this metro thingy and nothing more its just overall a patch to RTM, its not even an SP1 therefore its dog s*** again there was presentation on YT uploaded, 2 and half hours of bull s***, and only server got most attention

except that ixquick puts ads on 1st page which are even worse than that of google

they are not all crapware and untill you try something don't comment on it tyvm

well I use Wise Registry Cleaner this program is always freeware (and no ads) it both searches and cleans redundant reg entries (allows you what/not to remove, suggests what is safe/and not) and defrags registry too

you act like 13 year old kid

although I don't use your software bigmuscle as I'm on win7 but I can recommend from user standpoint that with such pop-ups you actually as developer achieve nothing its much nicer to simply add it either in rclick with About dialog or maybe on 1st run when your app starts btw this wasn't bad criticism, just a food for thought

-//forum error//-

there are ways but it wouldn't be appropriate to say it

to be honest, those small changes they could have made for RTM question is was it deliberate or just lazyness

I always use PE to change sys files, anything else is trouble

replace them in either safe mode or PE think that otherwise software protection platform kicks in and prevents replacement

from software standpoint, there is no reason for them NOT to release it for win7 from marketing standpoint, they could deny it to yet again "persuade" users to switch to winblows 8

start button will come back, classic start menu won't

just because fixes/patches won't be given after April 2014, doesn't mean XP will be so heavily insecure and prone to mega malware or even more than now the product won't become garbage in May 2014 nor will it become unsupported by various applications general rule applies: if it ain't broken don't fix it I'm on w7 sp1 and didn't install any hotfix since SP1 came out should I be paranoid, jump up and down and pull out my hair ? ----> no in fact, you're more secure with "3rd party apps" than anything that comes out of MS labs ditch IE, java and .net then get decent firewall, now youre 80% more securer than before unless you change hardware and no driver is available for XP, this OS will live 10 more years

that reminds me heavily on unreleased and dropped (failed product) Windows Neptune same sh*t, an HTML GUI with stupid buttons to rotate and crop images same went with system settings the only difference, Neptune used Active X Desktop by IE, and winblows 8 uses "metro", yet again by IE win8 is anything but evolution, they reused old idea from 1999 in bit refined way with touch controls

and metro apps are alot crippled in both UI and functionality

better use vistart then

I'm on Pro Sp1, and my firewall is DISABLED (Off) in control panel (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Firewall) but I use Firewall Control from Sphinx software, and even if FW is disabled, each time an app requests access to internet, this program pops out and asks for enable/disable access mind you I have no complaints there, but my question is, does win7 firewall invokes itself on the fly or disableing it in control panel doesn't work at all ?

why even use google ?

and your cpu is ? your ram is ? do you have some software that depends on win7 alone ?

future prediction year 2020 MS OS division doesn't exist

if you're bored you can do repair of OS

yeh they will delay win9 to grab as much money as they can on forced 8 that is actually bottom pit

I'm on 7 Pro SP1
