Just look at the excuses these bootlickers come up with to defend Microsoft's insanity at all costs: https://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/The-glorious-telescreen-OS-marches-on-as-does-censorship Blergh. I am actually truly disgusted by them now. If they would live in a dictatorship, they would be dictator's darling. I am 100% certain of it. Such a servile mentality. Repulsing.

Very hard-hitting indeed, nicely done. It's outrageous but not surprising that they removed it. :angrym: --JorgeA I've reposted it. Seems to stay longer this time. (https://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse)

IIRC they're reporting getting notifications that Win10 (tried and) failed to install? Note sure about this, because I didn't let the malware updates install on my private PC and so have never seen the W10 nag-screen in action. On Active-Directory powered PCs, when you let the malware pass through WU, there are no W10 notifications, but the stuff (six gigs) gets downloaded regardless (and does nothing). I have seen it today.

If this is happening, it's Class Action Suit City. Think of the hundreds of millions of people out there who have no interest in Windows 10 and have made no provision to make the switchover, suddenly finding out that they have to reinstall their applications and reconstruct those applications' settings because Microsoft overrode their preferences and installed Win10 anyway. Whoa, I'd like to be the lead lawyer on that one. --JorgeA It's downloading W10 automatically, but not automatically installing it. Still, it takes bandwidth and drive space. Especially on small SSDs quite annoying. Woud that (taking so much useless space) legally count as computer sabotage?

Managed to recover it through Google-cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:iQ3q8-uDm-oJ:https://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/The-glorious-1984-OS-marches-on+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=de

Bitches have removed the post. Little pricks. It was helluva hard-hitting piece and I didn't make a backup. Argh.

I can confirm this behavior. Posted this on C9, let's see what they have to say about that. https://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/The-glorious-1984-OS-marches-on

Bondsie, right? That guy is a tard's tard. They had some respectable metrotards (measured by staying power and rhetoric, not arguments) on C9 but they gave up. Now bondsie is pretty much the only one touting the party-line with conviction.

Windows 10 faces opposition because of all the phone home functions included. What is Microsoft doing? Get the same phone-home to Windows 7 and 8! http://yro.slashdot.org/story/15/09/07/1845214/windows-telemetry-rolls-out http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/windows-10-cant-run-games-with-safedisc-or-securom-drm/ What's Microsoft's response? Microsoft killed safedisc on Windows 7 and 8 through Windows Update last patchday! https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3086255 Instead of fixing issues on W10 they cripple their working Windows systems to expand these W10 problems onto them as well. Quite an approach. Windows Update is turning into a real liability.

Yesterday was patchday. Microsoft has yet again released new spyware for Windows 7. Suspicious are KB3075249, KB3080149 and KB3083324 (telemetry, new Windows Update client) They were “optional” last month but got elevated to important.

Fresh metrotard on Channel9: https://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/Im-not-happy-with-Windows-10-details-inside-am-I-missing-something/ff46b14e0f28429cab6fa4ef00452528 Isn't it weird how they all sound alike?

It's interesting how there's no buzz at all regarding W10 (neither positive nor negative) No one cares about it! No other Windows had such a lukewarm "don't care" reception.

MS slowly killing off the Lumias: http://lumiaconversations.microsoft.com/2015/09/04/streamlining-the-photo-experience-in-windows/ Lots of pissed off comments from metrotards.

Well, sometimes even shilling and brute-forcing isn't enough.

Another company making their customers very.. happy. http://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2015/09/03/introducing-jetbrains-toolbox/

LOL, the same metrotards who declared the start menu to be worthless are fawning over it now with Windows 10: http://betanews.com/2015/09/01/amid-windows-10-controversy-microsoft-quietly-releases-privacy-botching-features-to-windows-7-and-8/#comment-2230554138

LOL on Channel9: https://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/the-new-metro-apps-are-pretty-lame/c6977df05e6044ef847ca50601015adb BS. UWP is just a new version of metro/WinRT/Windows apps/WTF/BBQ or whatever it was called. That's like saying it would have been totally OK if applications for Windows in general sucked in 1998, because Windows 98 itself only appeared one month ago.

I am surprised it's this low. Aren't they pestering ALL non-domain connected Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 PCs since over a month? I thought it would be at 15% now given this. Amazing that so many people apparently decline the "free upgrade".

Sure, but that's not all of it. Noel is right - MS lost the plot. Gimmicky crap like Cortana - you play with it for three days and then you forget it's even there. Voice control on a computer is annoying and has been tried for 20 years (Warp 4 anyone?) Same with their "one OS" fetish. Is anyone even caring about phones running the same Windows PCs do? Why are they even advertising with it? Tell your average customers that "Windows 10 runs on this computer and on a phone!" and they couldn't care less. It's amazing how much time they spent on all this useless garbage. "One OS", "Last Windows", "Windows as a service", "Cortana" - all this stuff is either appaling and/or doesn't excite customers in the slightest. That's why they have completely and utterly lost it. They have no idea what they are doing and are throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks.

If you confront the metrotards with this, they usually babble something about "Apple and Google". But that's such a dumb argument. People get new OSes there by buying a new device. It's the new iPhone they care about, not the new iOS. The version number of iOS or the automatic updates of it are not particulary cool for the crowd MS wants to target. No one will flock to MS tablets just because Windows is a moving target now (or whatever MS is doing this for - this W10 madness is still about tablets, right?! But wait, they de-emphasized this actually with the new start menu.. so what is this madness about at all?)

Minimal? Why are people (not you Jorge) so kind with words? There's currently a troll paranoia on the net. Be a tad negative, and you're a troll. Point out flaws and you're "bashing". I don't know exactly how this trend started, but it is surely convenient for MS and the others.

I need an advice, guys. We have an old Windows server in our office (Server 2003). Sooner or later it should be replaced. It needs to be a Windows server because some crucial applications need it. I thought at first that we should wait until the new Windows Server will be available, but given that it is based on Windows 10.. ugh. I wasn't fond of Server 2012, but I would rather have metro than spyware. What are the odds that MS will include the same amount of spyware into their server version of W10? Get Server 2012 now or wait for the W10 based server and hope it doesn't include the same amount of spyware the client version does?

The "original" article is extremely interesting: http://fourhourworkweek.com/2012/04/22/how-to-build-an-app-empire-can-you-create-the-next-instagram/ and clearly shows how (though perfectly understandable from the singular point of view of Mr. Chad Mureta) the business work, I have never seen all together in a same article so much advice (as said most probably very valid from the single "appreneur" point of view) clashing with - well - in one word, decency. Even when let alone any moral standpoint, it is obvious how the whole app environment (if a sufficient number of people follow those advices) is doomed to some point at the end of a converging spiral, as nothing "new" is ever invented, everything is copied or "inspired" by something else, quality of the product is in the hands of third party (low cost) developers, and all apps look like the other ones (and also do exactly the same things, only very slightly differently) jaclaz You should read this discussion of his book as a follow-up. Quite funny and weird. I wonder who "Eddie" truly is. http://www.amazon.com/review/RO45EXXWIYNB/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg1?ie=UTF8&asin=111810787X&cdForum=Fx7RYQ6OHIZT3X&cdPage=1&cdThread=TxKJ5AW9FF2ANJ&store=books#wasThisHelpful

The store is like a timewarp to the early 90s, back when a shareware file archiver was seen as a reveleation. Even the "register me" nag-screens are back. The only difference is that DOS and Windows 3.1 haven't phoned back your keylogs.
