Chekov: And, Admiral... it is the Enterprise.
We just had a dog-and-pony with our TAM concerning the deployment of 10 in our enterprise. Our powers-that-be aren’t ready to pull the trigger, because of the dearth of legacy applications we still support.
The migration deployment model has matured extensively from the 7-to-8 model. Anyone considering migration to 10 from 7 or 8 would do themselves a service by researching the best practices. There are a few ways to skin the cat.
As a small business owner, I probably don’t qualify as an “enterprise”. However, I have serious concerns about the cloud-centric focus in Win10, as well as basic privacy issues. I could be sued for millions if client data were leaked by Microsoft.
Bring back “Microsoft Hearts” and I’ll consider switching!
If I run windows 10, will I be able to run my older version of office or will I be forced to upgrade to the subscription version?
I am not computer literate(age). I hear that Microsoft 10 allows Microsoft to monitor every computer use I engage in, is that true? I have also heard one can block Microsoft from monitoring ones key strokes, is that true?
I have had to work on Win10 machines.
I WANT MY START BUTTON BACK.
And no, I don’t want it to try to look or act like a tablet.
In another 5-10 years, only teenagers will be able to operate Windows.
I can’t really speak to the “enterprise” functionality, but after “upgrading” my laptop I really did not like it much even after tweaking it and adding back a traditional start button. The second thing I tried was going to a completely clean Windows 10 install and I hated it just as much.
I loaded the factory default laptop image back from DVDs, cleaned out all the bloatwear, installed about 200 Windows 7 updates, loaded up the programs that I use and now I seem to be back to a nice clean smooth running system. So I guess after basically wasting several days I can thank Microsoft for my cleaned up system.
Windows 10 is a huge improvement over Windows 8.x. But because of some interface quirks, it does take some getting used to.
If only Windows 10 was the stable, dependable OS Windows 7 or XP was. Problems daily from this. You have to stop and reboot without even knowing why. We just say “It’s just Windows 10”.
Many corporations will not allow Win 10 inside. IT phones home too much sensitive information like filename and the content of files. And, no, I don’t care if such things seem “opt-in” or “optional”. There mere fact that the capability exists is enough to say it will be abused or negligently transmit devastating information. Yes, personal financial files or trade secrets or intellectual property can be devastating to a company if leaked.
If you like to be spied on, then get Windows 10.
My next computer will be an Apple or Linux.
I’m done with Microsoft.
