So what do you guys think? I'm hearing a lot of hype that windows 10 blows windows 7 out of the park. i have missed out windows 8 because that was probably the worst OS released by microsoft since 98

I'm working now with windows 10 and is better than 7, was a good upgrade.

I took the upgrade to Win 10 some time ago...
I have 2 monitors and i hate the tiny little about 6px wide corner in the upper right corner of the left and in the upper left corner of the right monitor. I often swap a window from one to another screen and always get caught at this corner. Even if i disable the little corners are still there. Win 7 don't had this corners. In conlusion: I banned Win 10 after 5 days from my system because this little fact bugged my so much!

[Amph]

both, windows 7 as a host and windows 10 as a VM for pirating the shit out of everything, still waiting for workstation to release dx11 at least and 4gb for video

with all the privacy thing turned on, i want to test how much they are spying us...

Also in Windows 8 and 10, the mouse cursor gets stuck in between monitors.

Yes. Why the seperate features are not enableable each? Customization was never a strong point of windows @ stock with no mods.

I think it's possible to disable with a registry tweak, but it stopped working after a while.

Microsoft has been sneaking telemetry updates onto Windows 7 and 8, sometimes disguised as important rather than optional updates. This forum post lists all the updates you should uninstall and hide for privacy: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/367377-how-remove-windows-10-upgrade-updates-windows-7-8-a-30.html#post3127044
 
Also, if you have automatic updates turned on Windows 10 has probably already been downloaded to your computer. Microsoft is hoping the nag messages will get you to install, if not at some point in future they will most likely force it on you (no choice.) You need to visit the link and uninstall and hide the updates. Automatic updates is no longer safe to use, change to manual so you can pick and choose.

Windows 7 is still the best version for me.

The old saying if something is not broken don't try fix it. I am guilty I tried it didn't like it after 1 week and changed back. Leave it is my advice.

[Terwa]
