Windows 10

[Fortified]

Like I said. I just don't trust them right now. I'm going to be very cautious moving forward.

I appreciate that it looks like they're trying to listen to their customers. But after 8, the phone (Which I am still stuck with), and the initial XBONE plans, I'm extremely wary of what they're doing.

1. I use Win 8. It works fine.
2. The issue with WinPhone is its lack of apps which is caused by its lack of marketshare which is caused by its lack of apps. It's a vicious cycle; it's not really the OS's fault.
3. Xbox and Windows are part of separate teams at Microsoft. That's like blaming Yoshi-P for Final Fantasy XIII.

Or you build a new machine and reuse the existing license.

If it is an OEM copy you can not transfer it, OEM versions (cheaper) are tied to the original machine they were installed on.

1. I've had to use Windows 8 at work often. It works fine. But the interface is an ugly nightmare as far as I'm concerned. Requiring more swapping between keyboard and clicking. Pointlessly obscuring basic interface principles. Those garish squares. Not my cup of tea, as it is more of a poison to my already strained patience.
2. I plainly don't care. And judging by the trash that is on the store (emulators, broken apps, charging for ripoffs), neither do they. Not to mention all the constant crashes when I use it.
3. It had to have been approved at one point by the company higherups. Which is why I'm still wary of the company as a whole

I'm waiting. Not decrying. Not denouncing. Waiting.

If you built your own machine and used OEM on it that's your own fault.

I upgraded to the 10 insider preview yesterday and other than forgetting to back up my gearsets and hotbars (d'oh) XIV has been running great.

i have a slightly off-topic question...
The heck happened to Windows 9?

I thought there was originally going to be windows 9 and 10. 9 was going to be free for all users with windows 7 and 8, and 10 was going to have a subscription model for some reason. However, they threw out the subscription idea, eliminated windows 9, and the free offering was changed to be windows 10 for all 7 and 8 users.

You will got no argument from me. Just needed make the point as there are a lot out there that do not "get" why the oem is cheaper.

Probably because of the windows 8 reception. At release it lacked some basic features, and a lot of incompatibilities. Still has quite a few problems.Lol at not being able to shut down the computer without first logging off.
Also the interface is really awkward to use. It should never have been released as a pc version imo.


Considering all that im not surprised people want to wait and see first, with windows 10.
