@Torbuntu I was careful enough to disable the forced update on both machines I have (desktop win7, laptop win8.1) and removed the telemetry updates on my win7 machine too until the first reviews on win10 came out. Now both my machines have it on my own volition. But yeah, sometimes companies thinking they can act for the users' "best" intentions is sickening.
@olezhka I'm just thinking the confusion it can cause!!! 😂
@ThatDude WinXP were quite solid and some people+companies still use it... -

@sam9669 I barely remember that sound... Right now the only start-up sound that comes into my mind is Win3.11... :-/
@Torbuntu This WaaS started with Win8, but it wasn't well received as an OS so they had to force people somehow make the jump to Win10. -
olezhka25727y@Qaldim I tell you man, my IT manager does not have a sense of humor :D - told to revert to default wp on live servers...
Oh how I wish I had access to group policy... Then again, maybe it's a good think I don't -
Windows XP and 7, hands down the most stable I've had. 10 doesn't play well with its own fucking updates.

@Qaldim IMO 8 just had stupid shit no one needed and the metro shit was annoying AF.

@watzon Thank you! I'll set it as my lock screen!!! 😃
@KarolisCreation That must be a very old phone!!! 😂
@Wallpaper I liked the Metro UI... It was odd to get used to at first, since it was focused for touch devices, but nothing that disruptive. 🙂 -
Not sure if it's worth anything lol, but I have a copy of Windows 95 floppy's, sealed, still in the box lol

@orangelightsabr Selling it to eBay or to a museum is the first thing coming to my mind! 😆
