  1.  

    It makes me wonder if this is the end of Microsoft as a company that anyone in their right mind would trust....

     

    I have been wading through the so called Privacy Agreement and Service Agreement and it doesn't make for light reading...

     

    Like so many have said already....how many of us actually read such agreements...

     

    I certainly will not be upgrading my computers and have already removed the annoying pop up...

    Not that I agree with Microsoft's prying eyes, but doesn't Google do the same thing?  The only way we have all of the customized Android and iOS options (like regionalized search or customized apps) is specifically because of data gathering.

     

     

    but at least Google works.

    when I search something in bing the results are crap, really I once made a pseudo server for my apprenticeship practical exam and when I searched for a particular problem on the server itself for bettwer copy pasting (I found it already on my own PC) IE obviously defaulted to bing and it wasnt found and it was on MS's OWN SUPPORT PAGES, switching over to google (which had no data as I was not logged in) found it instantly on the 1st result with the same words.

     

    and with google I know exactly that they use my data for search and better ads, which I am fine with because especially the search part is some kinda profit for me.

     

    while with MS, we see that they have no problem of handling over stuff to the gov and sometimes they try to get the user help him to get the stuff to the gov (who in their right mind would let his bitlocker key upload into the cloud) while Google assured multiple times they are against all this Ceta and whatever 4-letter stuff the US thinks about for comporising our privacy.

     

    and you always CAN step away from Google and use another search engine for example but on PC windows has a de facto monopoly and most software is sadly win-only, there is not much choice for that.

  2. well for now I let my w10 be in stable because updating this thing which I boot even less than once a month (old insider and MS gave me the license to also use it in stable, so why not) is already a pain in stable and when I need to make sure my mod collection (aero glass, win7 theme and more) stop working after each new build, no thanks.

  3. @noelc oh yes they do have inactive colors in th2

    (german, but it shows what's needed to be done easily enough)

    and for the Aero Custom Theme I use, things got better with TH2 since the TOP bar now has a different color for inactive and active which was a bit weirder in w10 rtm.

  4. well I can install stuff (as long as I talk about it with my employer, obvious enough, it helps being only 2 people and that my employer know not much about computers), but my problem is that at least the website says clearly that the personal edition is not for business use

     

    also how's stuff with multiboot computers? some devs let multibooters share a license on the same PC while others say that it's not okay, and users need a seperate license for each copy installed anywhere...

  5. well for donating you go here and donate what you want via paypal.

    http://glass8.eu/support.php

    then you get an email with a link to the login where you enter you paypal email and your postal code.

    then you add your machine code (which you can get either from the popup or from the logs) in the form and you get a donation.key file.you push that into your aero glass folder and upon signing off and back in it should be away.

  6. the problem is not Glass it's the GUI.

     

    I checked the registry since I had on in my my WIn8.1 as well.

     

    in fact a while ago (to be exact version 1.3.0 on win8.1) you set the new default for Glass on Battery to that it wont disable (see your changelog), and instead of setting the reg setting explicitly to 1 it just deletes the value, in other wordsyou version of the GUI assumes the default to "disable it" and therefore it has problems with the "newer" versions of glass...

     

    so @adacom go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/DWM (if the DWM key doesnt exist just create it) and then create a 32-bit value "DIsableGlassOnBattery" and set it to 1.

     

    @bm the best way would be assuming nothing at all and just setting the value no matter whether or not it's the default.
