So, hopefully, 9/10 should be OK. Don't know why MS is skipping the 9 designation altogether. |

Is MS recording all of my Explorer searches? Don't know and I certainly hope not. But if they are they've probably been doing it for a long time (at least since Vista IIRC). Quote:

If you have Win 7 right now, stick with it (I'll probably go back to it). Its pretty stable with not a lot of problems. In playing around with 10 right now I'm seeing at least 2 or 3 or 4 "glitches" daily. But still no BSODs. |

And they've instituted a new section called Quick Access which I'm not impressed with unless it can be trained and tamed. We'll see. |

And as far as finding an old XP or Win 7 machine is concerned, do check Craigslist. You should be able to find a good one on the cheap. Quote:
Don't have a lot of music but I just checked and MPC is still available. For now. Don't know if that will change. |

I'm also an old guy, but unlike JustMe21 I have a lot of computer knowledge (computer user since 1983, net user since 1993, worked in software for 30-odd years). I'm also both cynical and realistic. Microsoft = bad software, good hardware. Apple = good software, bad hardware.
Why Windows 10, not 9? Well, they finally got Windows to look and feel like a Mac, so they're matching Mac OS X. Personally, I've got Windows 10 installed on a VirtualBox VM. Windows 7 is good for a few more years till Microsoft pull the plug on it and stop issuing security updates. That's the time to move. Last edited by The Old Hacker; June 13th, 2015 at 04:40 PM.. |
