Get Windows 10

[Cassie]

I think I'll stick with Windows 7 for the time being then! Maybe it will improve a bit before the deadline is up next year.

Touchscreens are dirty and gross.

And if you clean them all the time, that's a whole extra bynch of bacteria that you are no longer immune to.

WE ARE SYSTEMATICALLY BEING TURNED INTO LEMMINGS MY FRIENDS.

I'll just stick to 8.1 since I'm used to that now unless there's a COMPELLING REASON to change?

 

[Colonel Kira's Left Tit]

There is a compelling reason to switch, loads of more phone-home spyware!

But you know what they do. Very shortly 7 won't work any more, the same way they destroyed xp.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Do they just expect PCs and laptops to disappear overnight, and everyone using pads tomorrow?

What about professionals? Will PCs become an industry-only boutique item that costs twice as much?

WHAT THE FUCK

Win7 will be supported until January 2020. So there's still some time left. But they've already been ramming their new tracking stuff into Win7 and Win8 via "important updates", so there's that.

WHAT THE FUCK

Yes. On both counts.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I WILL NOT BE SHEEPLED!

 

[Colonel Kira's Left Tit]

Hey look, we're dinosaurs. I don't even have or want a smartphone because sometimes it's good to just be unplugged. So it goes.

 

[The Question]

The only way I'd even touch Windows 10 -- even on a Windows PC -- is inside a sandboxed virtual machine so that it can't blab everything I do to gods-only-know-whom.

 

[CaptainWacky]

THEY CALL IT WINDOWS "TEN" BECAUSE IT'S TEN TIMES AS BAD.
