Oh, gosh. Windows, where Bill Gates made 100 billion dollars selling the world vaporware.
Have you noticed that when windows “tries to fix the problem,” it NEVER does. It’s just a big confidence game.

I think I need several second opinions and do not trust CNN. Here as I type I get screens flashing every way and stupid useless software popups covering the edge of the screens. What a useless bunchy of garbage you are windows. You pop up a screen that says update to windows 8.1 free and when I click on it you give me a message that “can not find store” MS Dos worked better than windows 8.

You and me both. I have Win7 on a one year old PC, so it'll be a while.
On the other hand - I've been running Win10 on a dedicated, seven year old PC and I have to admit, it's pretty slick. Fast too.
I still don't care for apps and I use Classic Shell for the UI. All in all, it works.

Yup and they eventually want to make out PCs like cell phones where you “subscribe” to them...
They don;t want customers anymore, they instead want “Milk cows”

Huh?
Pay attention.
Windows 8 is an accumulation of all the bad things that microsoft had done for decades. If you do not turn off the keypad you do now know where you will end up. What a piece of junk.

Looks like a candidate for a Windows Ping List ... PING!
You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Microsoft Listened to youWhat a concept - who knew? Always reminds of when I was a kid, my mom would take me shopping with her to the A&P.
Above the manager's office was a sign that read:
RULES
1. The customer is always right.
2. See rule number one.

Time will tell, WIn 8.1 is fine once you install Classic Shell and banish the Metro garbage.
I just hate sites like this CNN crapsite where after a minute or so, some garbage video finally gets done loading and starts blasting audio.

I said the same thing about XP 3 years ago. We are both still alive and well. (Knock on wood)

Windows 8 was a difficult out-of-the-box adjustment to consumers... Taking away the entire desktop and replacing it with something off a cell phone was a little - well, not "difficult", it was arrogant, high-handed, and infuriating, an idea that Marketing could only have passed through the chain by avoiding focus groups and any other actual user interaction. I recall sitting in an introduction meeting watching the screen of Server 2012 coming up and asking how we were supposed to navigate the thing, and the marketeer they sent said cheerily, "just touch the screen and the charms will appear." The what? And just how many servers in the entire world have touchscreens, anyway? Bad, bad, bad idea, made worse by the initial unbending response. This won't be that - I've already seen enough betas to know that. Can't wait for the release to market.

What was your old machine running before the update to Win10, and how easy was the update to Win10? Also 32- or 64-bit
I have an old XP 32-bit at home, and I would like to update it. Win7 would be OK, but being more current would be nice as well.
To: loungitude
God choice. if you can, order the backup Win 7 install DVD. If you got the laptop from Dell, you can.
I figure I am set with an old XP box and this newer 7 box until hell freezes over. They moved enough stuff around to confuse me with 7 that it is the end of the road. Do not need more "learning", just want to use the damn thing.
