Just for the record : Microsoft Collects User Data In Windows 10 Technical Preview Using the Windows 10 Technical Preview? Microsoft might be watching your every move to help with feedback

^ These two lines perfectly condense the whole thread. B)

"You would think that Microsoft would have learned from their Windows 8 mistakes of forcing terrible features down people’s throats, but it looks like they’ve integrated a positively awful Search button / panel into the Taskbar. Here’s how to hide it, although we haven’t figured out how to completely remove it yet ..." How to Hide the Stupid Search Button on the Windows 10 Taskbar

So the last Intel CPUs able to run WXP are the Ivy Bridge. What about AMD processors, any similar end of the line?

To disable monitoring on CCl 4.18.4844 go to Options => Monitoring and untick "Enable system monitoring", then untick "Enable active monitoring", and click YES. http://techdows.com/2014/09/new-ccleaner-4-18-update-now-lets-you-disable-active-monitoring.html

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 see drop in their market share as Windows 7 continues to gain momentum After unscrewing myself watching that hilarious '10' video I'm more convinced than ever that beyond Se7en I'll stay away from that circus MS has become nowadays .

Is this some kind of prank? (honest question): http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/30/6868695/microsoft-windows-10-announced-official

Allow me resurrecting this thread to comment on this recently uncovered issue. Anandtech - Samsung Acknowledges the SSD 840 EVO Read Performance Bug Samsung 840 / 840 EVO susceptible to flash read speed degradation over time ^ x-axis is weeks since file was last written, y-axis is seq read speed in MB/s. Notice how read speed drops as time passes by. Only the plain 840 and the 840 EVO seem to be affected (not the 840 Pro, nor other brands of SSD).

I already wasted ~25 minutes on Tiles 8 back in 2012. From what I see in the leaked screenshots & videos I doubt I'll even try '9'. Nature abhors a vacuum. If Microsoft quits releasing real OSes, someone else will fill the niche.

Like living the last years of a golden age, 'cause I'm certain by now that Se7en is the last non-retarded not-sucker-bait OS that Microshaft will ever release. It'll had to be Linux or whatever else after 2020. No chance, thanks.

:lol:

IMHO both the airing of Harkaz's work and the reading of that last paragraph are interesting. XP still has almost double the market share than the combined Tiles aberrations:

Interesting: "Unofficial Windows XP 'SP4' in development" "A Greek Windows XP fan and developer is working on his own 'Service Pack' (SP) for XP, in the hope of extending the aging operating system's life ..." "XP, according to StatCounter, still has over 14% of the global desktop operating system share, which translates into a huge user base. Many XP users are running it on very old PCs, which are unable to cope with newer operating systems. There is perhaps a moral case for giving these millions of PCs more years of service, if they are still in use."

:lol: :lol: You know what that pic brings to mind? :

So the universe ain't undergoing tabletization after all. Who'd have thought.

^ Epic example:

Microsoft pulls August Windows update after crashes

Ha ha I like that.

Nah, I'm not interested in anything post-Se7en anymore, no such crap will infect none of my SSDs. Heh heh yeah sure. "Look into my eye!"

^ What a breathtaking demonstration of clairvoyance and intellectual penetration. Who'd have thought.

:lol:

I'm so sorry but I'm not impressed. In the real world it will be tough to notice any difference between these two: The MX100 however is just ~$450/TB against ~$730/TB for the 850 Pro, and comes with a troop of safety tantalum caps. And SATA III does cap the seq speeds, but not the 4K random (thus far). Notice the 4K random QD1 writing speeds well above 100 MB/s.

Nope, nothing to write home after all: Samsung 850 Pro review Seems many SSD makers are just consolidating (lowered prices, extended warranties, etc.) more than pursuing breakthroughs in performance. Until someone offers some SSD with 100 MB/s random read QD1 I see little reason to expend money beyond something like the MX100.

Same here. Just will not believe it until I can watch and touch mouse it. ^ Homeric , and wholly agreed.

^ This on the other hand sounds exactly as brilliant an idea as I have grew accustomed to expect from MS lately.
