and if not compatible, DONT upgrade

whereas

Well the only minefield would be me download 64-bit windows 10 and not 32-bit and I've used a 32-bit CPU

what ACTUALLY happens, it installs blindly, fucks up, reverts, rinse repeat

which is essentially a deployment failure, but they don't care because it's a tiny % of obsolete hardware they don't care about anyway

which is why i said it's not unreasonable, just badly executed

I've had that issue, but that's usually specific update which is back to my original point the only time they've done that is when they've genuinely fucked up and they tend to fix it in the next update

it's the feature updates, essentialy the "service packs"

I hate features removed from UI

It used to be really easy for me to get my wireless password starting from system tray but no I now have to go through control panel pick the right options to make sure I get the old network UI

it's windows 2000 in a dress, let's face it

That annoys me, but it's a trade off like everything else I actually like Windows 10

i don't, it annoys the fuck out of me

but i don't have a great deal of choice

I avoided Vista and 8 like the plague I went from XP to 7 to 10

You don't happen to have 10 S do you

I went from XP straight to 10 with a brief experiment with linux for a few months inbetween

no, Pro

Okay

Sound like you just had a bad experience with windows 10. I can relate

In the early 2000 I had bad experiences with nVidia cards I have never touched them again even though it's probably not relevant anymore but I can choose AMD

It's not been a terrible experience with Windows 10, just a disappointing one

And as i've said, I don't have a problem with the choices they made, just the hypocrisy, misinformation, and fibs

And people white-knighting for them rather than just accepting the flaws

Well nVidia was disappointing it was more expensive and not as good as the ATI I changed at 1/5th the price at the time every since I've stuck with ATI/AMD

I don't a issue with you problem with I just don't see this
> hypocrisy, misinformation, and fibs

Much like the right- wing private healthcare brigade need to acknowledge they don't give a shit about the poor, the disabled, the chronically ill, or the elderly
Just as the left-wing socialists need to acknowledge they don't care about human agency or individual rights

So on, so forth

Socialist don't give a shit about the poor disabled or chronically ill, they only care insofar as they can use them

You don't see hypocrisy in Microsoft claiming they're a carbon negative company, the same week they render 10% of the world's active PC's obsolete?

even abuse them

Or that you run their compatibility tool that claims Windows 10 will run on your system and it doesn't?

Ha Carbon Neutral that's rubbish

virtue signalling bullcrap

Honest specs is something I thought we'd left behind in 1998

(or lack of)

I dont see whats so funny about a pineapple

@Eccles That's because only 20% of people who buy computers look at specs

That's a marketing issue

That's not justification for m$'s poor speccing

Used to be able to find AMD specs really easily now they went the way of nVidia and all they have on that site is rubbish market web pages. That tell me nothing I care about.
