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.

How have the poor spec. What you mean is you ran the Compatibility software and it said you could you did and it broke

Sorry bad sentence cba re writing

Yes, on 3 of 5 devices I have at home, and at work, about 30% of their entire PC fleet is manually limited to 1709 because 1803+ won't work

I don't know what 1709 and 1803+ are I assume sockets?

no, versions of windows 10

Oh Are they mobile devices arm devices, or intel amd devices

work devices are all intel bog standard platforms from dell

home devices are a mix of intel and amd

I update windows whenever it wants, I had an issue once in 4 years of using windows 10

well like i said, this is an issue for legacy hardware

I don't think that's microsoft's fault though, they provide a greater freedom to the user in terms of hardware they can't compatibility check every piece of hardware

Lol, we still have Window 7 on some machines

Let alone versions of WX

I am arguing from a personal consumer point not an enterprise consumer point of view. Microsoft's business model is an improvement, since going to Windows 10, but that is my personal opinion unfortunately.

yes they can, farrongoth, they can run your hardware id's against their database and see if they're compatible - it would be trivial

it's different
