If Microsoft wants to improve the operating system that’s a good thing. But when they mess around with the user interface that’s a bad thing. Looks like they could do one without doing the other.
Constantly changing the way to adjust some setting or other just confuses people and pisses them off.
This is yahoo, they kept re-designing their email so often it was hard to learn again each time. I ended up leaving yahoo over all the constant changes.
Their Software Applications & Development Team really needs to do more testing, using the “Black Box” testing method especially, to ensure functionality and that all of the bugs they know of have been fixed before releasing it to the users.
I only owned One version of Windoze ever. It committed Suicide one day and trashed everything on the hard drive.I located a copy of Linux, installed it and never looked back..As far as OS Upgrades, IBM’s Mainframe seems to be the Only One in history to get that Right.In spite of numerous changes to both Hardware & Software over the years, mostly for Speed & Reliability improvements (and of course, new Services), programs written in the late 1960s will (and some ARE) still run with almost No Changes. .That’s why, over the years, IBM has generally been able to walk in, install new Hardware and/or OS Software on a Saturday and have the company’s employees come back to work on Monday without even realizing that anything Changed.Well, except that everything now Runs Twice as Fast..Oh, and a few years ago proved that you can take a room with 500 High end Unix Servers, install all the Software on a Single Mainframe, plug in the Hard Drives and run every bit of it with no problem on that One Machine.Oh, and the Electric bill for Air Conditioning alone is at least $100,000 per year less. Not to mention all the floor space no longer needed and the salvage money you can get for all the left over data cables. Oh and, of course, the Mainframe itself costs a lot Less than 500 High End Unix boxes even with the Million dollar price tag on the Mainframe..That’s because the Mainframe has been running “Virtual Machines” since the late 1970s and it’s pretty much Bulletproof in the way it runs them.

Why does it say ‘by Parker and Hart’ when it quite clearly isn’t?

It must be the “other place”, after all, Heaven would have a perfect UI and would never need to update!

My new computer came with Windows 8. I hated it. Upgraded to 10 and I love it compared with 8. I haven’t been good with Windows since 95.

Boyce and … Sorry, Parker and Hart. My daily gripe about every “New and Improved” web site.

I hate it when someone tries to fix something that ain’t broke!!! That goes for OS, websites, apps, anything a person buys, etc…

Actually, one of my machines is running Vista. Not the most wonderful OS, but I’ve never had a BSOD.

My main OS is Ubuntu. About the only thing I need Win10 for is playing games.
