Batu69 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Some users claim they have already switched sides Windows 10 was released with much fanfare in the summer of 2015, and since then, Microsoft has been continuously pushing everyone to adopt it. And since it’s being offered as a free upgrade for those running Windows 7 or 8.1, the company has also turned to a very aggressive campaign to bring Windows 10 on these computers, including “accidental” installs that started all of a sudden for a number of users. Additionally, Microsoft is also displaying upgrade notifications on computers running a previous Windows version to let them know about Windows 10, saying that this approach is supposed to make the transition to the new OS a little bit easier. So it’s no surprise that many are very angry with Microsoft’s strategy, especially if they want to stick to their current OS install and avoid the update to Windows 10. What users say Anti-Microsoft and anti-Windows 10 posts are all over the web these days, but the best place to look for them is the Microsoft Community forums, where users publish their criticism because they’re sure the company would read it. And there are a lot of messages saying that, after being upgraded to Windows 10 all of a sudden, they decided to switch sides and go to Apple or Linux. “I'm so fed up with Microsoft and their lack of concern and decided to get a MacBook Pro. Loved it! Since purchasing the MacBook Pro, I've gotten an iPad Pro, too. Love it! I also have an iPhone. This issue with Microsoft is simply the icing on the cake of growing discontentment with all things Microsoft/PC!” one user explained. What Microsoft says On the other hand, Microsoft says that it’s well aware that its campaign could anger some users, but bringing people to Windows 10 is a priority and a responsibility, given the fact that it offers increased security and better performance. Chris Capossela, Microsoft’s Chief Marketing Officer, has explained that the company wants to fight fragmentation, and it’s hard to move the world to Windows 10 without angering some people. “We just know there's a lot of people out there who constantly kick the can down the street without a little bit more of a, frankly, a push and there's no doubt with a basis big as ours it's hard to move anyone to a new model without angering some people. We don't want to anger anybody, but do we feel a responsibility to get people to a much better place and we think Windows 10 is a much better place than Windows 7,” Capossela says. In the end, everyone believes that users should be allowed to choose what to do next, and Microsoft goes along with that, adding that Windows 10 is a 100 percent optional download for everyone. We’re pretty sure not everyone agrees, though. Article source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straycat19 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I run the version of windows I want to run, setup the way I want to run it, and the same goes for linux, mac osx, and my hackintoshes. I still have my Dell Mini 9 running Snow Leopard which I upgraded the memory, storage, and battery on years ago when I first bought it. I called it a Mini Mac (Apple stole my name for their little desktop) (has White Mac Apple hiding the Dell logo) and everyone always wants to know where I got it. I tell them it is an experimental Mac that I helped develop when I worked at Apple. So you could say, in that respect, that idiots drive me to running certain things because it is so much fun to mess with what little brains they have.

Sylence Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 They propose Linux as if it's another version of Windows, everybody will have problems, (80% compatibility issues), doesn't make difference whether you're a pro or newbie , Linux is made for specific purposes that's why there are many distros of it, there is a reason why after 20 years free Linux hasn't taken Windows' place in our computers..

Oh Sure... that's why Microsoft only gives users the "choice" of "Upgrade now" or "Upgrade tonight", with no obvious "No thanks" option. That's choice... Microsoft style. My choice... install GWX Control Panel, and let ME, the owner of my PC, choose if and when to upgrade. At this stage, my answer is a resounding NO, I will NOT bow to MIcrosoft's forcing and their inability to treat users as adults capable of making their own decisions. I wonder if these Microsoft idiots actually believe the utter shit that escapes from their mouths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 A friend of mine gots this get windows ten app and the upgrade now or upgrade later there might not be a no thanks option there is a x button at the top right of the window to close the window and that is reminiscent of a no thanks option its when they take that x button away that the get windows ten app truly turns to malware. I did the same sh*t when I got that app clicked on the x button its works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linux had already taken Windows' place and the reason is free and secure[with better privacy than in Windows 10]. Since MS can show their stats, don't think Linux users are less. The numbers are wrong. You can calculate number of users running Windows/Mac/ChromeOS. However, there is no perfect stats on number of users with Ubuntu or other linux distros. You can also read this article from Canonical on number of Ubuntu users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrbingStorm Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If you dual boot with windows or have a pc with windows in your house then that proves Linux (as much as I respect it) just doesn't cut it yet as an alternative. Windows for most; no matter how annoying Microsoft has gotten,is the only OS that just works with everything for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at who the source was .. They dont speak for the Linux community.. softpedia is known to post a lot none factual news about Windows and Linux.. Leaks not posted to public true and not true . Microsoft is headed into the clouds . Windows 10 is a Hybrid cloud PC . by 2020 Linux will be the only Traditional PC O/S left that's not in the clouds . But Microsoft is surely to get most of you in the cloud when updates expire for Windows 7 . You give up you're privacy , control of updates and everything else and the smaller Linux community will be happy on a Traditional PC O/S as the masses are being pimped out by Microsoft with windows 10.

I've learned not to care about the article writers because they can't be trusted and it has many reasons. I don't really think that's their road map, not everyday has access to high bandwidth Internet, take a look at the stats of the countries sorted by their Internet speed. M$ leaders are not that stupid to let their users go, it'd be the stupidest idea ever IMO. 2020 is too early for such decisions due to the current state of the Internet/computer users in the world. don't you think so? 5 hours ago, vissha said: Linux had already taken Windows' place Oh when? thanx for the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft Azure: Cloud and Microsoft Server is were Microsoft earns most of its money now . Microsoft not made any money off Windows much since Windows 7 . Microsoft Server makes money even though it has very strong competition from Linux Server because Servers are needed to run the internet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good question to ask NASA who uses Debian Linux to power the space station up there. And Linux is already in many cars . Most rockets and cars were designed with some type of legacy PC anyways. Windows 7 is even considered legacy because it will never get any new features . With Linux all things are possible . While Microsoft keeps pimping everyone out moving them off in the cloud with the same boring O/S for the next 20 years .Linux will keep getting new distros and features . While most of the world is still stuck on windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
