jimmysmitty :Lets watch the language people. You might not like Windows 10 but that's no call for the language.
red77star :I tried Windows 10 and offers nothing worth upgrading over Windows 7 not to mention how ugly it looks. No, thanks.
Looks are all preferential. I know some people who still make 7 look like Windows 2000 because they hate the Aero look.
That said, there are a ton of benefits of a newer OS. For one it is more secure, will support more products that are coming in the future and tends to have a need for less resources.
I will say this for Microsoft, it used to be that you would have to wait till at least the first service pack or two before the OS was in a decent useable state, i.e. XP with SP2 and Vista with SP1, but ever since 7 the OSes have launched in a very stable and decent state. Sure SP1 made 7 better as did 8.1 for 8 but at launch, 7 was one of the best OSes while XP was just a horrible bug and hole ridden OS.
Eventually you will upgrade to some newer version of Windows. You can't stay on an old OS forever.
I'm sure we'll migrate once they get the GUI right. They= users, not Microsoft. I'm sure there will be quite a lot of people asking for a GUI upgrade and once GUI upgrade packs become available, and the rest of the inconvenients are taken care of, there would be no reason not to make the switch. The thing is to make a switch with 0 trade-offs. There's no reason for the drawbacks Microsoft forces upon us - once they're erased, people currently reluctant to downgrade to Windows 10 will certainly upgrade to it.
You do Realize that the windows 10 interface is the way it is because of US right because since last september Microsoft has shaped windows 10 based on all are feedback including the GUI stuff and icons and this is from a vast a amount of windows insiders that you yourself could have had part in .
over 5 million insiders and out of all 5 millions the way the UI currently looks is the way we wanted it and while sure some very minor few dont like it . it is highly customization to your likeing
