Topic: Windows 7 VS Windows 10 - page 10. (Read 8858 times)
i'm using on my computer when windows 10 enable to use. i can say this : windows 10 better than older versions. fast and usable.
Most people here should know how insecure windows is compared to osx and linux distros.
Sure osx is more expensive but don't you think it's well worth it?
We are talking about privacy not security. This is different. Linux is great security and privacy wise. However, OSX is on par with Windows when it comes to privacy. If you think that Apple isn't harvesting information think again.Sure osx is more expensive but don't you think it's well worth it?

I really mean it!

I don't want to update but my laptop with win 8 is constantly trying to download windows 10.
Microsoft now forces people to use their new system which is ridiculous and a bit scary. I can't turn off the updates in win 8 as it locked out somehow once it detected win 10 update is available. I'll probably have to uninstall win 8 and go back to 7 as it for now allows me to skip updates.
Yes. I have Windows 8.1 on my laptop and it constantly tried downloading Windows 10 after I downgraded. I somehow managed to it off. However, I'm not aware of any controversial stuff being pushed to Windows 7. My main system has it with updates turned on (only notifications). Everything is fine for now.Microsoft now forces people to use their new system which is ridiculous and a bit scary.

I'd recommend everyone to downgrade if they upgraded to Windows 10.

Problem is that the privacy issues are now being ported to Windows 7 and 8.

Yeah its becoming more and more of a problem, they aren't being very honest about what they are doing which I think is the worst part.

My biggest problem with upgrading our licenses on Windows 7 machines to Windows 10 is that while 10 is technically "free" right now, they will move it to a service-based subscription eventually, which means an additional annual charge.
This fee will likely be in the hundred dollars per year range, so plotting that out, some have had windows XP machines running for 10 years, up to $1000 savings by not switching. That isn't to say that most users will be able to get away with 10 years on Windows 7, however for every machine we can run Windows 7 on effectively for the next few years that's $100 savings per machine per year. We have also "upgraded" every machine that came with Windows 8 to Windows 7.
Disclaimer: I have been running Windows 10 pre-releases on at least two machines since it became available to the development community.

What are the privacy issues with Windows 10 that you are all talking about? im not aware of this
Windows 10 looks promising, I installed it in one of my company's (the company I work in) laptops and so far it has worked fine.
I do not know why do people hate windows 8, I did not have any major problems with it (and I loved being able to change OS language without having to format). Well, maybe having a touch-screen laptop helped me to have a better perception of it.

windows 10 without spy software
Windows 10 looks like a windows 7 and windows 8.1 hybrid using both good points from the two of them. I would say stick with windows 7 due to windows 10 having some issues with privacy like mentioned
Windows 7 and Windows 10 are mostly completely different, Windows 10 has it own store. I run it in virtual machine but seems that some function are buggy and sometimes doesn't work.

If you want to stay with Windows 7 then it is ok,
You can try to install Windows 8.1 it is still good and is similar to Window 10

Windows 7 is the best choice for now imho.
Win 7 is like the new version of xp given most users are on that os.
Windows 10 has a whole slew of privacy issues. Not suitable for using Bitcoin or other crypto coins.

stay with win7. with win 10 you are a beta tester.
"never change a running system"

(not sure how to do a poll)
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
