Windows 10

Best hope there is a Windows 11 then.

All Windows 10 has done iis push Candy Crush and force other copious amounts of bloat upon us, while we wait another day for yet another Windows Update that can take a considerable amount of time to install - all while we pray that Windows will actually load up alright first time without a blue screen. Then while you're in the middle of something, Windows could decide that it wants to reboot to install an update, whether you like it or not.

Honestly, Windows is a laughing stock now. It's at the point where people mock it for it's constant updates every time you want to use your computer. If this is the best that Satya Nadella can offer us, I genuinely fear what the next version of Windows has in store for us - probably more variants of Candy Crush, a GUI that only a toddler could approve of and yet more updates.
 
I would pay $300 for an OS that gave me the experience I had with 7.

I don't know what they make off of my data, but it might work better for everyone if they just asked us for the money instead of giving us an OS that acts like malware.

I get cheesed off when big updates release and turns all my USB devices back to power saving suspend.

I won't forget being summoned to help fix a friend's computer in about 2007, little did I know that that computer would give me my first taste of Windows Vista - exploring a new interface while diagnosing network issues was fun because up until that point I had left Vista well alone, given all the bad publicity surrounding it. My Vista experience put me off ever installing it and it seems a lot of other experienced computer users such as myself had the same idea. :D

Naturally I was somewhat apprehensive of Windows 7, but it turns out that's probably the best version of Window so far, with XP closely following. So I left Windows 7 to mature, but not for as long this time - I think I gave it about 6 months. I remember using it on somebody else's computer and I was actually liking what I saw, bar the Aero theme - but I've always liked plain themes for Windows and have always turned my nose up at GUI bling that just taxes a system's resources needlessly.

Now I am on Windows 10, albeit against my own will at first - my motherboard died a few years ago, so a new motherboard came with a CPU upgrade and Window 8.1 kept hassling me about as new processors are now blocked from getting updates on it. As much as I don't really mind Windows 10 now, I still have a soft spot for Windows 8.1. It really isn't bad with StartIsBack installed - it's like the halfway point between Windows 7 and 10 - you can choose the updates, but it felt also felt lean once you'd removed the little bloat.
 
Personally I like the Aero theme - I find it much easier on the eyes when spending a lot of time at my PC, Windows 10 aesthetically I find a huge eye sore and as many days I have Windows 7 and 10 booted up side by side the contrast is quite marked. Classic look has its advantages but ultimately I'd take the smoother look.

On XP I used to use a modified version of the Zune theme.

Vista to 7 was a strange one for me - as in many ways the differences are quite tiny but cutting an unnecessary step here, reducing the animation time for something by half a second there, etc. makes a huge difference to the flow of using it - it might not be that noticeable at first but when you are carrying out actions dozens of times it becomes felt. I really didn't get with Vista but 7 largely just works for me though I'd like to see some modern enhancements.

LOL someone at the MS Community has started pruning any posts or topics in any way critical of 10 going back years LOL. Granted in some of them people were posting pretty abusive stuff, etc. but at the end of the day that was born out of frustration with the OS but MS just doesn't care about the actual end user quality of life experience vs their imagined one of how everyone uses the OS.

Not sure they would if they getting the money they are getting. As long as it's satisfying the people overlooking them then it's ok as long as they don't do anything illegal. Not that matters to them though.

I haven't visited in awhile but it was stuff like:

"A moderator has deleted a discussion you were following, Windows 10 is fundamentally a piece of crap from the core.

It's possible that the discussion was off topic, violated the Code of Conduct, or was just a duplicate of another discussion."

So possible someone posted something particularly offensive since I last visited and they simply erased the whole thing but from the emails seemed like someone was just cleaning up anything remotely critical of Windows 10 - some of the threads have existed for years.

You not allowed to post anything on there in a negative way at all.

After the change a year or so back they started clamping down on any negativity but lots of older threads still existed. It quite tragic really as it is usually met by "Microsoft developers don't read these forums go use the feedback hub" when the feedback hub has for years been filled up by similar stuff to no avail and some people getting incredibly frustrated way beyond anything I post here. If they don't have awareness of that going on their corporate structure really is **** and most other industries people would have hopped over to the competition and they'd be long dead.

They probably don't listen to anyone, take the idea for themselves with all feedback I assume then just say they did it.
