 Windows 10 Home edition may force updates on youhttp://www.cnet.com/news/windows-10-home-edition-may-force-updates/Users of the Home edition would not be able to defer automatic updates, according to Microsoft's Windows 10 specifications.<< In Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, Microsoft gives you the ability to control when or even if you want to download and install updates. But that seems to be changing with Windows 10, at least with the Home edition. A new Windows 10 specifications page posted by Microsoft provides system requirements, notes and other facts about the upcoming new operating system software. And one section in particular reveals a change to the way Microsoft will let you handle updates. "Windows 10 Home users will have updates from Windows Update automatically available", the Descriptions page explains. "Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise users will have the ability to defer updates." >> |

Am I the only one who thinks Windows is going downhill since 7. I don't like that "tablet/touch" interface they are trying to shove on my computer.

Since 7? It's been going downhill since Windows Vista, Windows 7 only made it bearable which is why everyone is sticking with that version until they remove support and try to force us onto a new OS again. |

It's been going downhill since Windows Vista, Windows 7 only made it bearable which is why everyone is sticking with that version until they remove support and try to force us onto a new OS again. I'm still on XP 64 and proud of it. My current install is a little over 5 years old and it's still as stable and responsive as when I installed it. Unline XP 32, XP 64 was built on the Server 2003 R2 codebase, hence the stability. yeah, how can you disable this icon? there's no way I will ever go with a freemium OS - Win7 could be my last windows.
I posted the link to a guide on how to disable it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1078962.0Note that, even after you disable the downloader, its files will remain in their directories and you won't be able to delete them without taking ownership of the folders. To do that and completely remove that piece of crap from your machine, follow the other instructions on that same guide. |

I also use Windows XP on one laptop, but the 32bit version. Even without support I don't see any problem with it. It just rocks! |

I have Win7 at home, but I'm already thinking that's a good time to switch. I've seen Linux Mint and I like it.
With Win7 the laptop is crawling. Mint seemed much faster.

Linux is great, but if you have any peripherals, you can kiss them goodbye in almost 90% of the cases. At least this is my case when I try to switch. |
no.

I think this is a anti-piracy move and a way to make more money. If home edition users are forced to update, users cannot defer updates which detects piracy. In a corporate environment, companies must purchase pro editions because home edition in a corporate environment will seriously slow down the interent connection when new updates are available.
Windows had been going downhill since XP. I still have XP on my laptop.

Why are people so mad about it? As far as I understand, it's for security, since out-of-date systems have been more vulnerable in the past. Also, people who like to tweak every fine detail of their Windows system won't be using the Home edition anyway.

I hope Windows 10 has a better way of downloading and installing updates than its previous versions. Currently it's shit. I love the way Mac OS is handling their updates.
I am on a legit version of Windows 7, and I have a laptop with a legit Windows 8.1, I will try it out on the laptop first as I don't think anything can be worse than Windows 8.

Is this news, we gotta do updates all the time to keep running fast and clean.
This is not news, its old stuff that anyone with windows knows about.
