Is Windows 10 significantly better than 7?

Is Windows 10 significantly better than 7?

What's your definition of significance?

My view: yes.

[armsys]

By significantly better, I mean:
Faster!
More reliable!
Fewer BSODs!
Fewer ET phones phone!
Fewer unneeded services!

After reading: http://www.techspot.com/review/1042-win ... page2.html, I would stay with Win 7.

I see w10 as a step towards what currently Android-based phones do: it will open all sorts of personal info to all sorts of software developers and whoever heaven knows with any sorts of intentions.
The time will come that Linux may be a shelter for me, leaving Win-based systems as high end gaming consoles if/when I start to find reasons for such type of entertainment again. >sigh<

Appreciate your sharing of a software developer's insight. From your viewpoint, you see its huge potentials. And now I see what you see. Thanks.

Hmmm...
I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough, armsys. Sorry.
Each and every time I install an app on my phone I see the more ridiculous permission requests one can think of. Haven't googled on this but... why on earth an app uninstaller needs access to my sms and contacts/phone numbers?! No way, there's nothing that can convince me to install such a monster!

Now think on a cloud based OS from a company known by ruining millions of machines all over the world by allegedly needed updates, a world where the most reputable HDD manufacturer embeds its hardware with monitoring capabilities.

I have, like all of us should, those human little -little!!!- dirties that should be well buried under the ceiling of a personal privacy. Contrary to what's current common sense, I also do like to preserve me and my people from prying eyes or even curious ones.

Sometimes I think I'll be the last human heart on Earth. And I'm aging.

Well, the link is, alas, long outdated. It was jacky's XYWiki.

[armsys]

Thanks for your info.

[SkyFrontier]

Where in the page or how did you reached that link, armsys? Coz' the Resources index never had such ancient (yet very useful back then!) address AFAICR...

[armsys]

Don, are you running Windows 10? Do you fall in love with Windows 10?

[admin]

Nope, I'm still in love with 8.1.
