Phun 723 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I have heard a lot good things about Windows 10, but I am wondering why they are skipping Windows 9...Programming compatibility issues regarding previous Windows version names.

Administrator James 148 Posted July 25, 2015 Administrator Share Posted July 25, 2015 I am a computer gamer... and Windows 8.1 blows. 10 Should be a huge improvement. 8.1 is really good actually. The RAM handling is so much better than in 8 and 7. Also Windows 10, except for DX 12, is almost the same speed for gaming applications. My problem with Windows 10 is this: I can't read the pictures and the damn won't zoom for me, wanna explain? Sorry. Anyway, I'm a little excited for the release I guess - meh.

Anyway, that's a bunch of rabbit nonsense (see what I did der Phun, notice me senpai). I don't know about switching to Windows 10 not just because of all that in the image but I've just not started recently getting used to Windows 8... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasty 9 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I prefer Mac OSX above Windows, sorry.I have heard a lot good things about Windows 10, but I am wondering why they are skipping Windows 9...Mac OSX is far superior in my opinion, as both a OS X and Windows user, I feel that Mac OS X is much easier to use and aesthetically more pleasing. Before people say about customisation... you really don't need to customise every single feature under the sun. Security over customisation.Sorry to burst your bubble but the only thing Mac OS has going for it is the optimisation for the hardware that Apple dictates. Mac OS is so far from a secure OS, I would even go as far as saying it is less secure than Windows. You want a secure OS you will either have to create your own or really up your game and use a Linux distro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the past 3 years here are some statistics (This is from downloading a hell of a lot of torrents, zips and rars from untrustworthy sources and both professional and casual downloads). Windows Viruses = More than 5, 1 resulting in reinstallation. Mac OS X Viruses = Less than 2, 0 resulting in reinstallation. This is from using both in the same way, laptop for when I am not at home. I know Linux is the more secure OS however I would say Mac OS X is most practical for my area of desire. Not once have I contemplated getting rid of my iMac for a Windows Desktop - it runs exactly how I need it with minimal Viruses. Viruses = Malware, Trojans, Adware, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to talk about security of an OS generally we should talk about flaws in the code and 0 day exploits and not purposely written code to exploit users stupidity.

Nervodx 65 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I feel that this discussion is getting a bit off-topic. However, I was rather excited for the release of Windows 10. It appears to be an improvement over 8.1. However, not a fan of all those privacy issues stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erza 124 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Just installed Windows 10 and everything from the image shared by Tasty can be turned off completely. Seems it was an outdated screenshot then. Still pretty weird it;s actually in there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch 0 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm definitely going to be installing this once I get home. Looks really sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ShockWave] 38 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'll be sticking with my lovely W7 for the time being. It seems to me like it's way more functional, and, frankly, I don't have a clear reason to upgrade right now. Based on what I'm hearing from a few friends of mine, DX12 really isn't a tremendous upgrade in terms of performance. Do you guys think it might have been overhyped? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Institution 4 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Nothing really utilises DX12 yet though, because its still Day3 of Win10. Anything that was developed for it, was done so when it wasn't even at release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
