Re: Going back to Windows 7, a good or a bad idea?
You know I actually retract my post I posted last year.
With the latest version of win10 I can access app accounts avoiding the ms stuff entirely.
I can put my google icloud and other cloud service to my win10 os.
I buy music in the windows store, the platform has got better, narator has gotten better.
Edge is still not fully better yet but I can see its potential finally.
I don't use most of the inaccessible apps and I still hate the ribbon, but you have control of the privacy settings to a great degree, true you can't stop the ms spying but its not to bad.
Ms encourages feadback in fact you can drop your level to security tracking only or put it full blown up and up.
Now even some insiders are being asked to test the pre release branch software.
Ms are becoming into their own.
There is still a few things I don't care about this, however the fact is you have between 3 and 5 years before win7 support drops.
I have up
graded several systems to win 10 and apart from the odd slow computer I have found that my i5 quad been on 7 for a year updated with ssd to 10 is not slower.
The rest of the systems were fresh installs of 7 up to 10.
I like the win7 shell and the xp shell its a pitty you can't get the upgraded core.
And just have the interface.
I use firefox now as my brouser and thats fine.
I don't use a lot of windows apps but I can't complain about 10 if I now spent cash last month I spent over 100 dollars on digital music I really can not complain about a system like that.
The system is getting release builds twice a year, there is always something to improve on but to be honest unless you have really older hardware now its not to bad these days.
win7 may not have more than 1-3 years to its name maybe a little more but maybe not.
The truth is you will have to upgrade weather you like to or not.
However if you never use a ms account neve
r connect an apps account, etc and if you turn off all those apps then you will survive but remember the desktop app much that I really hate to admit is being phased out entirely.
Win10 is both a desktop and tablet os there is no inbetween in fact you can switch your tablet to a desktop and vice versa all depends on what you have plugged into.
You can delay big updates for a bit not stop but still its the way of the future, apps allready update themselves.
Its only when ms or another company screws up, yes other companies screw up with updates screwing up.
I do think the spying is overblown to be honest ms has responded with more options for feadback to the users.
Last year I jumped on the bandwaggon against win10 but I want to go that way eventually.
I will keep this win7 till it dies but I do want to try to use linux for some stuff I'd also like to test react os out if I can.
I have to much in windows to totally ignore it, ie games but I am
allready using opensource linux software for my net brousing and the like.
