I was SO thankful just to get away from that one it was ridiculous.<br /><br /> The one I have now has 8.1, which hasn't given me any issues with working, but I don't really care for some of the layout.<br /><br /> I don't need all that stuff they put in it. Like news, cooking, shopping, and so forth. All I need is my desktop and what I have on it. Also, I preferred the old start menu, before they started putting it all over the screen like they have it now, and I don't need that hover mess off to the side. </p> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41543.61&return_msg=41543.59" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41543.61"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41543_62"></a><div class="message" id="message_41543_62"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: 99% of gargoyles look like (MR_BASTARD)<span class="message_time"> 3 Aug 2015 19:33</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: DeannaG (CYBATRON) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 3 Aug 2015 23:57"></span></span> <span class="message_count">62 of 110</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41543.62">41543.62</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41543.59#a41543_61" target="_self">41543.61</a></div> <div class="message_body"> You've pretty much summed up why I upgrade to 7.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41543.62&return_msg=41543.59" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41543.62"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41543_63"></a><div class="message" id="message_41543_63"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: 99% of gargoyles look like (MR_BASTARD)<span class="message_time"> 3 Aug 2015 19:35</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: milko <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 3 Aug 2015 21:49"></span></span> <span class="message_count">63 of 110</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41543.63">41543.63</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41543.1">41543.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> So many unknown users!

I really liked XP and found it very stable. Could be that coming from Windows 98, it was a big step forwards stability wise (on most hardware). I certainly had no problems sticking with it during the mess of Vista, and I do still run it on an old Mac Mini that turns its nose up at Windows 7. In all honesty, I cannot remember the last time it crashed on me.<br /><br /> I do find it interesting when they talk about Windows 10 and go on about major new features like Cortana (which 99% of PC users will probably never use), and Edge (I have a perfectly good browser already thanks).<br /><br /> I know they're still trying with the mobile side of things, but if you don't use Windows on a mobile device like a phone or tablet and have no interest in doing so, then most of these features are of little use. I just want a version of Windows which looks good, and is designed to be as good as possible on a proper PC. Unfortunately, Windows 7 is the last time they developed an OS with such a clear mindset. Windows 10 is definitely better than 8/8.1, but you can still see the compromises, and there's still too many messy and unfinished areas as a result.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 3 Aug 2015 19:45 by DAVE!!</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41543.64&return_msg=41543.59" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41543.64"> <span class="rating">+1/1</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41543_65"></a><div class="message" id="message_41543_65"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Matt<span class="message_time"> 3 Aug 2015 19:56</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Dave!! <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 4 Aug 2015 15:42"></span></span> <span class="message_count">65 of 110</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41543.65">41543.65</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41543.59#a41543_64" target="_self">41543.64</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <div class="quotetext"><b>quote:</b> <a href="messages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41543.64">Dave!!</a></div> <div class="quote">and Edge (I have a perfectly good browser already thanks).</div> <p>I think you missed the point of Edge.
