RTM/GA or Insider - What are you going to do?

Meaning anyone with any computer savvy can obtain a copy...use your common sense making such a stupid remark!!!!!

Sir, I think you're just a bit out of line. BadRobot asked a question and you just insulted him. For asking a question?

Changed my mind, I'm just gonna buy it! More freedom.

"Desktop apps such as news, sport, finance etc, are not working, certain pages on edge either stutter or lock solid, I could mention more but think it best that you try comparing for yourself."

All of this is working perfectly on the Insiders Version, no problems on any of it. It works just as well as the final clean install of Win 10 I have on another computer.

I have the latest insider on one SSD and a clean install after upgrading from 8.1 Pro on another and they both work equally as well. Don't see any difference at all. Except I do seem to have some blurry icons on both that some others have reported.

That's okay. His insulting remarks doesn't say much about me but rather much about him. Way too much. :)

What "pirated" version is he talking about? The Insider Preview????

Who? these things don't track back/thread very readily. I have no idea. Technically MSDN Key use by non-MSDN peeps or for "non-development" purposes is piracy; there ARE some people who use the generic installation keys and then fudge the activation, how I am not certain. Myself, I like to have a semi-supported set of software products, which would not include any the vendor could readily determine was not legitimate, even if they probably could do nothing to prevent its use, they certainly could and would refuse to support it.

Besides, free is a very good price lol; ms is hoping cloud services and hardware and things like pay-to-view/pay-to-play and charges for tie-ins links advertising and/or patents from other vendors will replace sales of software licenses. They are also making a business out of support.


I think they are only in the consumer retail end at all for those reasons and to promote developers to write for their platforms and to keep public familiarity with their stuff high, which helps on the business side in adoption/retention rates and training costs, and also for a toehold in BYOD in the workplace.

Page 24, Post 240:

There is no comparison between the Insider version of W10 and the fully released to the public version.

Everything appears to work on the release version whereas for example desktop apps along with other many other features do not work on the Insider version.

Obviously M$ does not want pirated versions to take full advantage of all its applications.
