Windows 10 Sucks!

Alright!
I'm rockin the Windows 7 start menu along with the AeroGlass effect on everything in Windows 10....it's like 2009 all over again!:D
Love it!
 
Similarly Bill Gates, as head of Microsoft, also vehemently used every dirty trick in the book to eliminate any competition in the OS and internet browser markets. Remember Netscape?
Yeah, what an asshole packaging the browser as an integrated component of the OS. Next thing you know, they'll make it illegal to make any browser applications that don't use the underlying OEM supplied browser technology, and use that to apply leverage on outside companies and ultimately drive those outside products out of the market.

Oh, wait, sorry. That's Apple. Apple did that.

And guess what everything works. I rarely have an issue with a mac, and if I do, it's a simple reboot (after months of continuous run time). Micro$haft can't say that, never could never will. I have a W10 box for gaming and that's all I use it for. I literally despise using it from power up until I'm actually in-game...

.... and then I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns when it inevitably crashes in the middle of doing anything.

Eff Micro$haft. They can suck a fart out of my chocolate doorbell.
 
""Problem Ejecting USB Mass Storage Device". This device is currently in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device,and then try again"

I have already damaged one external USB hard drive with valuable data by removing it while I was not using it with any program, after having tried everything to get rid of that doomed message.


A tOmAR PoR cULo Windows!
 
Regarding bricked Macs: when it reinstalls though it keeps all your data intact. I was surprised by this, don’t know if it’s recent, but it’s quite obviously the right thing to do.
 
I have windows 10 on my laptop and gaming PC.
My wife has a macbook pro.

I personally prefer Windows environment. Mac is a great laptop too, but I am a windows guy.
Maybe a question of habits too.
apple environment is just to closed for me.
Not being able to use some software because a new operating system is required. Bull......!

I had Windows XP, Win 95, Windows 98, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10.
In my opinion, windows 10 is the best windows ever. (permanent update is annoying. This is less intruisive with the macbook)
It has many things that I will probably never use, but It works flawlessly., it is stable, it boots quickly (The macbook pro is quicker).
I can install old software or pieces of hardware if needed.
I had some blue screen of death in the past. This belongs to history, at least for me.

My two cents.
I have a pretty limited use of PC. Othersaid, my PC are very "clean".
One laptop for my Axe FX II rack.
One gaming PC with Simracing things.
I don't install/deinstall things daily, websurfing, social media, video encoding, .....

And yet this forum seems to spawn an infinitely greater amount of 'I have problems with my Mac' threads then with Windows. :p

Seriously! It surprises even myself.

That is news for me, and I was an ex fruit company employee for many years. You always had and still have multiple browsers available for MacOSX and there was no requirement to use WebKit. The actual worry is Chromium that has taken a huge part of the market, it has nothing to do with Google monopoly, rather that a huge platform suddenly is in the radar for nasty individuals in the business of stealing money and spying.
 
The postponement of removing 32-bit support in MacOSX was extended and extended, I was always surprised how they extended it, at some point it's bye bye. There were many very old codecs that only worked in 32-bit mode and it was a huge pain to write code to run these in a separate process container.

I think that refers to iOS mainly, where the store restrictions only allow you to use UIWebView/WKWebView. But since Apple does not have a monopoly no hand slap.
 
But that's the opposite of what he said: that's not being able to use old software because you updated the operating system.
My guess is that the AX-8 UI tool uses either old 32-bit libraries that they need to switch over to 64-bit variants, or then those are missing and they need to replace them. Also some coding in case it's a Cocoa app, to fix all kinds of 32-bit value assumptions. Xcode helps with that conversion, btw.

"I don't understand how to do X, Y or Z" does not equate to "I have problems with my Mac", despite what text actually ended up in the post.
 
1. No consistency between windows. There's no standard resources.

Do you mean stuff in the non-client (title bar and borders) and/or standard controls? The non-client stuff is completely customizable by apps (and always has been but few did it). The built-in apps are pretty good about consistency here. For the standard controls there's two styles - standard old school Windows controls and the modern flat controls.

2. Almost nonexistent borders on windows. With a trackpad it's almost impossible to resize a window.

Yeah, this bothered me too until I figured out how it worked. The border width with respect to sizing is actually about 5 pixels for most displays by default. It's just 4 of those pixels are invisible (you can see that your cursor changes to a sizing cursor before you get to the window edge). Of course 5 pixels on an HD Display ain't much. You can run this to adjust to taste:

Code:
#include "stdio.h"
#include "windows.h"

int main()
{
    NONCLIENTMETRICS ncMetrics;
    ncMetrics.cbSize = sizeof(ncMetrics);

    SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, sizeof(ncMetrics), &ncMetrics, 0);

    printf("Current padded border width is %d\n", ncMetrics.iPaddedBorderWidth);

    ncMetrics.iPaddedBorderWidth = 10;  //  The default on my dev machine was 4.  Set this to taste.

    printf("Setting padded border width to %d\n", ncMetrics.iPaddedBorderWidth);

    SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS, sizeof(ncMetrics), &ncMetrics, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE);
}

3. In some programs, i.e. Office, the scroll bar disappears after a couple seconds. Who tf came up with this brilliant idea? It just disappears and leaves a white column. How is that a good idea?

I don't get it either. It comes back when you move your mouse or do anything that causes scrolling. Can't blame this on Win10 though.

4. Start menu sucks.

It really works the same as Win7. It's just got tiles to the right. The tiles are actually handy if you have a touch screen. Also, type anything and it finds stuff pretty quick and easy (I mean Start followed by typing vs. searching with Cortana).

5. No classic theme and apparently no way to install one.

If you pick one of the high contrast themes, you get a lot of the old behavior back. But they're fugly.

Sorry for the misunderstood (if any)

My wife had several MacBook pro.
At the exception of the last one (two years old), she always encountered very annoying problems with the mac.
With the time, many of the standard software from the computer doesn't work anymore. for example imovie, …. (I think it was with mac OS X tiger)
It begins after the mac ask for an update of these software. if you start the update, the mac answers that the software needs a new operating system. Then the software doesn't work anymore.
I think that this doesn't happen anymore. Like Windows, the Mac OS will be updated "forever".

It remains that it is annoying, that a software which was working perfectly doesn't work anymore until you purchase the last version of the OS.
It doesn't happen in such extend with Windows.

My own experience.

Peace !!!
(not a specialist at all with mac) :D
 
I really like Windows 10 except for a few things.

1. Live tiles are trash. Useful on a tablet, sure...but I'm on a desktop. No need for them to be in the start menu by default, cluttering everything to hell. I think the new start menu is fine, also the Windows-X command gives me all sorts of crap at my fingertips.

2. Control panel inconsistency - There's still a large ammount of functionality only accessable in the Windows 7-style control panels, Power Options comes to mind. It's like they're not confident in their Windows 8/10 UI to fully commit. Weird.

3. Would be great if they would optimize the OS for low-latency audio like OS X's Core Audio. This is the biggest thing I miss from OS X. ASIO is fine I guess but I'd like to see what Microsoft could do with their OS vs farming it out to someone else. They lowered WASAPI latency a bit but it's not like anyone makes drivers for that protocol.
