LOL or Kernel like kernel of cornAlways liked the word “kernel” but never knew how to pronounce it. It’s similar to “colonel” isn’t it?

Contrary to the die hard haters of Windows 10, it is a more stable and faster build than Windows 7. I've not run into any issues, using the Update tool. And some of my customers have some pretty old, (even DOS), programs they run for their businesses.
Windows 7 drivers are compatible with Windows 10.I ask because I have a heap of audio software I've been running under Windows 7 that I hope won't encounter driver issues in Windows 10 when upgrading vs. installing from scratch.
yeah, and usually followed by "Error".Always liked the word “kernel” but never knew how to pronounce it. It’s similar to “colonel” isn’t it?
...or "Panic" on 'nix systems and recent (OSX) Macs.yeah, and usually followed by "Error".
New computer is up and running but not without the usual MS headaches. Kept blue screening after Windows was installed with an NDIS error. Turns out it was an out-of-date driver but the Windows 10 build was from a month ago (?!).
And, yup, UI is just as awful as I remembered. The lack of borders on windows is infuriating.

Not sure about others but I (and everyone I know) pronounce both kernel and colonel the same.Kernel. As in, popcorn before it's hatched.
Windows 7 RIP...Going to be a few more days. I'm in the middle of upgrading my computers to Windows 10 (reluctantly) and migrating to a new workstation.

Dictionary.com shows the same for both:
colonel[ kur-nl ]
kernel[ kur-nl ]
I've always used the "desktop" format on windows 10. Barely any difference from the old days for me really. I probably won't change until I go all touch screen someday.I'm not concerned with stability, I just hate the UI. They even ruined the calculator.
Is all this a side effect of being too long playing with a beta firmware?
A big +1 to this! They call it Open Shell now, and it rocks. You get the Win 7 start menu back, but the search still works too...best of both worlds. Highly customizable and free!Classic Shell will give you back a Win7 like start menu. It's free. Been using it for years now.
So start a thread in the lounge...No, computer nerds finding kindred souls where they can talk about dos with someone who understands what they're talking about
What's worse computer nerds talking about the windows update, or the ones who constantly ask for a firmware upgrade?No, computer nerds finding kindred souls where they can talk about dos with someone who understands what they're talking about
