login123 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Going to kick off a "yearly update schedule" eh? There is never an anti-trust lawyer around when you need one. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Guest Keatah Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I am *not* upgrading OS'es every year. Yeh, sorry.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hopefully it will take on a more simplified system of upgrading, like upgrading an Android (or iOS?) system. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 A free annual update of the Operating System would be fine by me, BUT ONLY IF all my installed third party applications and utilities and licences were automatically copied and correctly merged as part of the update. I think that would require either putting the clock back to the good old days when every application had its own INI file, or absolute segregation between O.S. and application registry hives.

Moderators rridgely Posted November 29, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that only the initial release will be free. I think they plan to make it a subscription like office 365. MIcrosoft will basically be trying to mimic apples minor OSX update schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators mta Posted November 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2012 seems all a bit pie-in-the-sky at this early stage. Blue so soon after Win8, a free OS - all new territory for MS. but good find Hazelnut. that's the first i've heard about it. be interested to see what my monthly mag says about it next time.

Moderators Andavari Posted November 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2012 I would never use an OS if I couldn't at least re-install it from a CD/DVD when disaster strikes and since it's Windows a disaster would eventually happen. It would be a complete pain in the backside to have to re-install some funky old OS to only then have to install an upgrade to a new one - ah things get dumb and dumber. The subscription thing I wouldn't partake in. If they do this people may not be so inclined to update to newer Windows versions, and I can only imagine a subscription hiccup issue where it effs up sort of like how so many antivirus products turns off prematurely and customer support being of little help whatsoever.

Moderators Andavari Posted December 1, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2012 I think some of us have seen Windows Blue before ... Windows Blue: Didn't like it very much at all. Yeah, maybe not a wise decision to call it "Blue" after all due to the dreaded and well known BSOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 They probably wanted something "simple" I recall having too many conversations during the "Windows Mojave" Vista marketing days, whereby people would say "I don't get why people would buy Windows Mojave if it's the same thing as Vista" winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted December 1, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2012 Microsoft kinda randomly picks their code names out of a hat (Mojave, Longhorn, Blue) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators mta Posted December 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2012 and how many of those names the OS has during developement actually make it to consumer release - i think none. so Blue will be Win9 or some other hat picked, roll-off-the-tongue, catchy word.
