It would if the alternative was watered-down Pemex... standard is better if the alternative is substandard. That's the perception a lot have about 10, self included. I'm still hopeful that it can...

Yes, that is certainly true. Even so, we've managed to muddle through for 15 years or more like this; what has suddenly changed to make that paradigm unworkable? Allowing the owners of computers to...

Or at least do a drive image with your favorite backup utility, upgrade it to 10 to get the "digital entitlement" registered for your PC, then go back to your previous version using the Windows...

I don't know why Mozilla has been so reserved with the Windows x64 version of Firefox. 64-bit FF has been around for Linux for a long time, and those of us who have been using the pre-release...

It's a matter of opinion about whether the changes are good or not. Opinions aren't right or wrong. However, the claim that 10 was not designed solely around being the best desktop OS it can be is...

I like my Corsair 760T a lot too. I also liked my Antec 300, but I (being the complete nerd I am) kept taking the side panel off so I could admire the innards from my easy chair where I sit when I...

With this in mind, Microsoft, can we make a deal? If I promise to NEVER EVER even touch a Windows tablet or phone, can I continue to use my old, familiar, perfectly-functional, desktop optimized UI,...

I had a Commodore 128, the whole setup, and I know I saved it... but somehow it got lost, or I would still have that as well.

I have a Compaq Portable Plus "luggable"...

I never really doubted that either. It feels like Win 10 was rushed to RTM status before it was really up to the usual MS standards of polish. I did say I'd consider trying 10 again when there were...

That looks promising.

When I saw that I could not change anything as far as the colors by normal means, I did some reading, and I saw it in multiple places that much of what used to be defined...

Back to 7. Both of my friends who upgraded went back too (one 7, one 8.1).

If I can't customize the colors to my liking, it's a deal breaker. Vast expanses of ugly white, as far as the eye can...

Thanks... I will try that next time I am in 10 again. It will be a little better, but still a long way to go before I will be happy with it. For the time being, I went back to 7, although I can go...

So, Microsoft:
If I promise to never, ever use a Universal app, even for a second, can I have desktop customization back?
