So disgraceful. Prease remove.

Yes, How To Geek is the site but I don't see any link there to directly install Win 10 like I did . I just see stuff about ISOs.
-
And Hazelnut, where is that link to download Win10 directly from Microsoft? I thought you posted it, that's where I got Win10 from, but I can't find that post now.

I wonder if Hillary's emails are in the root.

Thanks again Hazelnut for that ClassicShell link. I went into its settings today and found out how to get back 99% of my old Win7 Start menu the way I had it laid out earlier.
As an extra plus I downloaded 8GadgetPack Tools and got my analog clock back.
The windows' white header solve you posted only lets you turn the headers blue, but only if you use its generic Win10 desktop. No biggie, I will survive. ( I wonder if WindowBlinds is trying to tweak W10s' GUI these days.

Just looked. They seem pretty peed waiting for a new version that's compatible.

What ever happened to Kraftwerk?

Okay, so how do I add some color to those top window bars so they don't look like a boring white sheet of stationary paper?

Thanks Hazelnut. I installed Classic Shell. It's a lot easier navigating than the other obtuse Start box.
-
Well Hazelnut, you talked me into it and I installed Win10. So it's all your fault.
j/kMy first impression was that this looks like a phone app that can't handle Glass or Aero. And what's with the "Hi" intro. What am I? 16?
I still haven't found OS/C> anywhere. Too much Win8 filling my "start" box. I remember you linked to something recently that shows more of a Win7 start menu. I'll look for that.
Took quite a long time for FF to fully load the first time. I guess the OS was having a fun time figuring out that it wasn't Edge.
I do still have WMP so that's good.
-
A game console. Jesus Christ. I think our ages kind of work against that choice. Is there an adult (big boys, big girls) version of Win10 out there?
-
I used Opera for about a year, I think Opera 4 or 5. And it was very customizable. I couldn't do everything I could with FF, but almost. Later builds kind of killed that custom feel.
-
I'll give them 5 bucks.
-
That's good to hear.

Please give the computer back to your Mommy or Daddy.

I think Win7 is the best OS so far. If i see the bulk of comments on tech sites saying Win10 can match 7 & do better I'll give it a try, but not till then. I don't give a rats ass about Cortana or syncing or apps or other officey nerdy features.
-
So glad I don't have W10 installed.
-
As far as I know no pron is stored in registry. So you can breath easier tonight.

From the Newsweek article:
More than 14 million devices are already running Microsoft’s Windows 10 after its global launch on Wednesday, but it’s unclear how many of their users read the company’s Privacy Policy and Service Agreement before downloading. Tucked away in the 45 pages’ worth of terms and conditions (effective August 1) is a substantial power grab: The company is collecting data on much of what you do while using its new software.
From the moment an account is created, Microsoft begins watching. The company saves customers’ basic information—name, contact details, passwords, demographic data and credit card specifics —but it also digs a bit deeper.Other information Microsoft saves includes Bing search queries and conversations with the new digital personal assistant Cortana; contents of private communications such as email; websites and apps visited (including features accessed and length of time used); and contents of private folders. Furthermore, “your typed and handwritten words are collected,” the Privacy Statement says, which many online observers liken to a keylogger. Microsoft says they collect the information “to provide you a personalized user dictionary, help you type and write on your device with better character recognition, and provide you with text suggestions as you type or write.”
It just keeps getting better and better.

Nergal, PLEASE don't take that politically. I can get peed at the current mess, but I don't follow anything out. I'm not one of Those idiots.

So far W7 does what I want it to do. Hey, if W10 really is free a year later I may get it. But I heard early on that it'll eventually be a yearly paid service like McAfee etc. Something around US $120 a year. I could afford that if need be. But I bet MS Office/Word will still not come with it. No DVD player or Windows Media Player? Excuse me? My PC is my music source.
I would hope that W10 does develop into a home system, and not into a Facebook/Twitter app.
-
Reported to the government? I trust them less than the scammers.
-
I probably won't consider installing W10 till about a year has passed. And yes, it does sound like MS is using their customers as .dll/driver guinea pigs.
