I was not complaining as such, just saying that I was glad someone else had comfirmed the problem was a Firefox/W10 issue.

I think that at this point in the testing MS is more interested in finding out what testers think of the new start menu rather than have them just use a tool like Classic Shell and then report back that it works. Well, of course it works but that's not the point of this testing. It's to check out the new start menu and to get feed back on how to change and adjust it for future builds.

I'm still betting that tools like Classic Shell will work fine in the final release of Win10.

CPU-Z issue is a bit bizarre..

Jeff

Yes, I can understand the Classic Shell thing at this stage--but the CPU-Z thing is bizarro world. I commented in Technet about it--got no response--but, what else is new in Technet?...

More often than not when I have a problem I bother writing up out there I draw the ire of some "hotshot" who wants to tell me why my reasoning is flawed but then offers not one shred of assistance...!...

Check it out:

CPU-Z CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

Weird.

early during windows 8 rtm and late beta would could install cpuz but once u try to open it, it would cause bsods or completely freeze some computers.

Let me clarify that, I'll accept the Start Menu they have, but only because so many people seem lost without it.

Lost without it...??? What the hell is that supposed to mean...?? That we find metro too confusing...?? That we're incapable of using metro...??

Fact is, we are old enough and experienced enough to know what we like, and what we want in an OS.

Please keep your condescending remarks to yourself.

"We"?? Speak for yourself.

Now I'm confused. Who's we? Wasn't he on third?

What Bunny is trying to say is that not all of us are old enough or experienced enough or know what we want. Because some of us are little bunnies.

Or at least I think that's what he's saying. But what do I know, I'm a little teapot.

Many forums have "fanboy experts" (or "fangirl experts") who are unable to supply useful information or answer the original questions posed.

Linux forums are notorious for this type of behaviour (e.g. RTFM).
I've noticed a few on Stack Overflow too.

Let's see.. first of bunny is old enough and has enough experience to know what he needs in an OS. Second, the "we" that I was commenting on was concerning views that may not be held by all members here on the forum. If you have an opinion use "I" not "we".

That covers it.

I am confused as well as the quote makes it look as if I wrote some of the text, which I did not.
