RIP Windows 7

Hi there

This is REDICULOUS --If you have to resort to that type of language to amplify your point --You've already lost not only the argument but also respect of any sensible reasonable posts / posters and members here.

So why don't you just SHUT UP and forget about all that stuff

Cheers

I don't, but I am VERY angry about that post and being labelled as a spreader of lies etc, especially when it was very clear from my post that I was nothing to do w/ it. why should I SHUT UP about that? it's flat out defamation and LIES.

whatever, I was very irate and have amended my post, I apologise for my hot-headedness, but that slander is something that extremely annoys me.

You posted inaccurate, false information as if it was true facts.

I posted something I had come across and worried me. I said that. at NO POINT ANYWHERE did I claim it was true. stop putting words in my mouth. you lied about me and accused me of something that isn't true at all and that's totally clear by my post and my responses to other replies. I don't know where you get off making unwarranted personal attacks for no reason, you could have made all those points about that site w/out saying I was responsible for it.

What makes me extremely worried, and sad, is how the the tinfoil hat brigade spreads their untrue, invalid and false information.

I really don't care what you (or some snitches and censors at tenforums) think about me; however, you did not try to respond to my post RIP Windows 7 at all. Do it now please, without irrelevant statements (all companies do it, newer is better, license etc), only pure Win7 vs Win10 comparison.

Your post:

Arguments used are the same than users used when transitioning from Windows 98 to XP, and from XP to Vista / Windows 7.
The only thing it speaks of, what is shows, is that for quite a many users, change is a negative thing.

My response:

Nonsense.
Compared to Win7, Win10 has the following (and many more) disadvantages:
- it serves as advertising and spying platform although it is paid
- rolling release concept; many feature and monthly updates are in alpha/prebeta stage
- insane waas idea; it denies user to control his device (forced updates, inability to strip off defender, feature updates which ruin user esp. privacy settings, etc)
- inconsistent user interface (bloatware metro apps, crippled "settings" app instead of control panel)
- indeterministic & unpredictable behavior (nonworking defender exclusions, driver installations although they are disabled, pushed metro apps, changed user settings without notifying, etc)
- violence against other programs (inability to run them, silent uninstallations)

Any advantages... maybe storage spaces and recent directx, nothing more. (Dependency on cloud services will never be an advantage.)
Summary: Win7 is an operating system. Win10 is software platform for manipulation with users and their data with some suppressed functions of operating system.

Be brave (good for yourself) and admit that you advocate bad thing using bad method. Or ask censors to delete my post, you will not be the first.

Hi folks

Isn't time to end this thread --

Hi there

makes even the Brexit thing in UK seem tame by comparison !!!!

If people like and want to use W7 why not --it's only an OS --nothing to get excited about -- but just be aware of limitations on today's technology etc -- For instance I doubt whether people would be mad enough to try and use a Harley Bike as a Boat !!!.
