MS are still trying to "please themselves".
It's just like the W8.1 fake Start Menu button.
I don't know anyone who asked for this Hybrid Start Menu/Screen thing.
The solution to the issue has been the same ever since W8DP; a simple "Use Start Menu" or "Use Start Screen" tick box.
The fact that they won't do it, even though it would eliminate the majority of complaints, leads to two possible conclusions:
- They are idiots
- They have ulterior motives
If that hybrid start menu/start screen ends up being the only choice you can count me out. I do not like it at all. As far as the buggy part goes, its a preview release, an unfinished product, what part of that do you not understand? Microsoft has clearly stated that the preview releases will contain bugs.
I understand fully, it's just that Windows 10 is the first OS I've had major problems with, and I think it's because they're trying to please too many people at once, probably because most people either didn't like or couldn't use Windows 8.
They're trying to bring back Aero and the Start Menu and there are still people complaining they don't like the Stop button. To me it's starting to look a bit messy and it's because they're trying to please everyone, which they will never do, this is Microsoft after all, the company who hasn't done anything right since DOS according to a lot of people.
I know they'll fix everything up they always have and it will be better than before, I have every confidence in Microsoft, I just wish they'd stop trying to please everyone.
I can understand why Bill Gates left the company, I would have done exactly the same thing.
Maybe because Windows 10 would be (and should be at my opinion) an Operating System as a Service. This "offer" could end all the pirate/illegal copies of Windows at once. Microsoft could still make money from other sources with most important the Windows Store, or things like Windows Defender Pro (just an idea)...etc.
I really hope someone can make this decission once and for all, and begins a new era for Windows, putting an end on all this rootkit,bootkit,fake server activation,fake skype phone activation..etc malicious software circulating on the Internet.
rofl!
It it weren't for pirated Windows, most of the world would be running Linux. MS's pricing structure has forced much of the third world right out of the market place and into the Pirates Den.
And, I've been told that the pirated OS's come Pre-Activated, and work just as good as the full retail stuff.
Or, so I've been told. :)
So if MS has come up with a scheme to provide upgrades or new installs of Windows 10 for FREE, more power to them.
Sounds like a sound marketing strategy to me!
Not true, It is very hard to find a distro that works with your computer and your computers hardware. Lubuntu with Xfce was the best for my system, tell xubuntu 14.10 was released. Ubuntu, Lubuntu & Xubuntu seem to be better for my system. However, I still have some issue with Xubuntu using external hardware and some wifi connections. I tried Fedora, Open Susie, pclinuxos, slackware, puppy Linux versions and even tried to install Arch (Arch messed up a usb drive). I am glad Arch failed to install.rofl!
