I'm kinda tired of this, we've been leading a deaf man's debate for awhile now and you're no different in how you've stepped in. If you look at my own thread about windows ten you'd see I already acknowledged that but I digress
Eh, it's neat, not amazing. I've already run across various crashes on my test PC, but I am excited for when the fix it. Its basically a new set of features for Win 7, and my Win 7 builds run perfectly.
Just so everyone knows all the new information gathering on Windows 10 is coming to 7 and 8/8.1. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/08/30/windows-10-spying-on-windows-7-and-windows-8/ @cdrkf @tatsujb @Geers So I guess might as well upgrade now?
Lol.... Bloody Microsoft! (also auto correct win... My phone initially translated Microsoft into misconduct haha).
yeah I happened to have just found this so I'm rather reassured : Code: Get-Service DiagTrack | Set-Service -StartupType Disabled Get-Service dmwappushservice | Set-Service -StartupType Disabled reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection\ /v AllowTelemetry /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f echo ##

Reading on I'm flabbergasted as to how all of this is clearly beyond the law. Win 7 and 8 users agreed to the win 7 and 8 terms of agreement specifically and individually, not win 10's. Is this all a hoax because I can't believe there's actually any legal way to justify this?
I assume that you'll agree to it when you install the update. And since nobody reads those.... I always decline everything anyways!
I'm secretly planning to write in some official looking clause to their terms. It'll say they have to pay me a a few grand per month for "loyal service" or something. Totally going to work.
no because they want a mandatory all around upgrade. they can't do that if they're binding that update to a terms of agreement : one person doesn't sign and it isn't unanimous. so they have to do it without our consent.
Indeed we are. But we've discussed this to quite an extent in the other thread, and I personally find it to be a lesser evil. (Though to be fair, I'm not a fan of it, more of just the fact that all my games reside in one place and are easy to manage; along with limited alternatives. Still more alternatives than for Windows, I feel)
Sure, you personally find it a lesser evil. That doesn't mean it is or isn't. It just means you've convinced yourself that it's okay, but for some reason Windows isn't. That's not a rational judgement; that's personal bias. Which is fine, but people need to stop painting Microsoft and Windows 10 as some kind of archdevil.
Windows isn't an evil at all and neither is steams drm policies. They're just a marketing ploy. Kudos to all of us for recognizing that. The rest of you who are blowing this out of proportion? Come on.
Ok so I did my first impressions of win10 by installing it on a PC of a friend (using the above instructions for privacy) and I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised to see it take a couple more steps towards linux; No more unsupported ctrl-V in CMD No more "apply" and "OK" buttons (at least in window's own setting windows) F**K yea! additional drivers handled by the OS itself : bluetooth, wifi, laptop keyboard hotkeys, USB 3, and touchpad controler just outright refused to install because a superior version was already there and of course the multiple desktops One issue : file name length max. which explains why some programs won't run.
You seem to have a personal fascination with my posts, despite in the past complaining that I was responding to you too much. Perhaps tone it down a bit
