Well, was it better or worse???

It Happened on a PC at my business. The main program we operate on doesn't run on 10, so it was worse! Caused a real problem.

This will not happen on W7 Pro or Win 8 Pro. Are you using Home Edition at work?!

Run Win 10 Pro on several machines. No issues at all. Solid. I also wear my tinfoil hat while working so maybe that helps a little.

Acutally it looks like MS is NOW ignoring businesses and possibly pushing W10 out to "Pro" versions..

Take a look HERE

All it takes is for MS to push it to a companies private WSUS server or the companies IT personnel didn't read up on the update before pushing it to their WSUS server..

If I couldn't push updates my users never would update ;) Bad enough just to get them to re-boot once in a while.

I hear they may be eventually pushing it my way but we have software that is not yet certified for W10 so we are in a holding pattern.

If your really concerned about W10 calling home there is LOT's of info out there regarding turning off Location Services. It's a solid OS, holding back for that reason is just silly.

Sorry, while MS does give you "slight" control over "location services" in reality they ARE being far more intrusive than what has been revealed.

They are now in the business of selling "information", they do not tell you what "information" they are gathering but they are cashing in on the cash cow and YOU are helping them in many ways.

I am just simply amazed that people now days are so willing to openly give up their privacy.. So willing to allow every nook and cranny of their life and what they do be mined for FREE and someone else makes a huge profit on that data..


That is only ONE reason to "hold back" as you say.

They are also now selling "advertising" spots and pushing that advertising to your PC..

There are a multitude of reasons as to why anyone would want to not participate in this "give away"..

Starting with Win8 and continued with Win10 MS has been chipping away many of the features and compatibility of the OS.. Those features and compatibility MADE MS who they are, it is why 90%+ of the worlds software IS running on a Windows OS around the world..

Now they are telling YOU the owner of the PC exactly what software you can have and run.. And if they push a update to your Win10 PC and it breaks your software, well that is too bad.

Yeah, you could walk into work one day after a botched update is pushed and find ALL of your PCs and even servers nothing but doorstops and MS isn't going to compensate you for the days of work you put into attempting to put the mess back together.

Win10, MS can not only force update your PC, they CAN FORCE REMOVE FEATURES AND PROGRAMS they decide to no longer "support" at any time..

So, if you have a custom program that uses a function or feature that they decided to remove, your software is now dead to the world..

Each OS version, I end up spending weeks if not several months getting the OS to look and act they way I want, not what MS feels I should have.

I also have lots of favorite older software, much of it no longer being developed but yet no real "replacement" for that software.. Often takes a lot of workarounds to use it..

Or the fact that many of the OS versions you end up having to buy "updates" or new software costing you money..

I also don't like being told that I have to purchase new hardware like printers, scanners and such when there is NOTHING WRONG with those items.. I am not in the habit of just throwing money out the door to keep updating just because the latest OS has hit the shelves.

People now days have gotten so used to the throw away mentality, they are instantly willing to throw good working stuff in the trash just so they can have the latest "bling" version.. What a waste.

It was hard enough to get Win7 to recognize one of my laser printers let alone to try to get Win10.. Or even my HP 5100 bed scanner, yeah, built like a tank uses a parallel port and the software that came with it works far better than the built in generic Windows scanner program..

MS is shooting themselves in both feet, they are botching a lot of updates, they are installing very intrusive spying software, they are also installing "p2p file sharing" they are using to help deploy windows updates (using YOUR HARDWARE AND ISP that YOU pay for, not MS).
