[MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] ...Really! Do tell my friend, do tell. I checked my messages, nothing pertaining to anything like this. Last msg from you started like this:

Yes,I've got your invite and I registered,thank you....(cut)

I would love to hear more about this Welder. :confused: Thnx!

EDIT: Scratch that, just got the msg! It is 6:00 AM here, dropping back to sleep and will get back to you my friend. ;)

P. S. I am really happy that you and [MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION] are joining the discussion. Very nice. And, those links are awesome! Thank you very much. :D

EDIT 2:

Alright, I just got a really, really good link from one of you in here. I didn't ask permission to share it by name so I will just give the link, this helps explain pretty much what I am afraid of in Windows 10:

http://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/24...-free-the-subtle-new-world-of-built-in-costs/

Look at this part, man:

​In other words, while Windows 7 customers never contributed anything to Microsoft’s bottom line, Windows 10 is chock full of opportunities for Microsoft to make some money off of you, long after you’ve paid up for your Windows license. Which, of course, you still have to do. Microsoft isn’t crazy.

...even Solitaire begs for a monthly subscription to ditch ads now.

Great article, thank you, you know who you are!

Next Day EDIT:

Okay, thanks to that fantastic article submitted, I get the idea of how annoying and rotten this new Windows is going to be. It is all about taking more and more and more of your MONEY, week after, week, month after month. Long after you are done paying for it, the "new way" is, you NEVER stop paying to use your own computer. What is not to love?! :mad:

Now we will have to start using a host ad blocker, that should take away the annoyances in Solitaire and whatever other little things MS is going to ruin. Everything is fair game, solitaire is such an ancient game that no one has a copywrite on it, but you have to PAY and keep paying to get rid of "ads on your own PC"! There will probably be a new version of AdAway to deal with this but it will require constant updating and rebooting. :rolleyes:

Ugh! This is like you have the most comfortable pair of sneakers, EVER, and they are wearing out so you go buy a new pair to replace them. You love your sneakers and wear them every day. (No, the sneakers are not named "Brad".) So you find a wonderful pair of sneakers that fit so well and are Heaven, but shortly thereafter, you feel pebbles in your shoes that you paid in full for, but they are "built in" and you cannot take them out! You go back to the shoe store and complain and the man tells you, "Oh, these are the NEW Sneakers 10! That small pebble under your right pinky toe will cost, oh, $3 to remove for a month. That large, painful one at the back of your heel? Yes, I can take that one out but that will cost you $49.95, annually. The rest of the pebbles vary in price to disable". :D

This is what Microsoft is going to do to my own personal computer that I bought and paid in FULL for. The "paying never stops". Yes, this is an outrageous exaggeration, but is it? Really? What is so different from paying to remove ads, paying to "lease apps" or paying for a little comfort in the shoes that I wear every day? And I have to pay every week or they put the small pebble back in my shoe and I am saving up money to get that nagging big pebble out of my heel. Insidious, outrageously insidious! Microsoft, you should be *ashamed* to even imagine such a horrible thing! But, it is coming. The writing is on the walls, it is on the way. :eek:

Okay, I hope that you were all very much entertained by all of this, but I am taking this seriously and Windows 7 is good up to 2020 so I got 5 years to think about it. I am just trying to bring some attention to this issue. It is when we all "lay down" and let stuff happen that things like this change our worlds for the worse. I am going to keep digging for the dirt on "The New Microsoft Windows business model". Yeah, I am sure that there will be plenty of nice things in the new windows, but the new sneakers were nice too, just have to pay to get relief from the built in pebbles to keep wearing them every day and keep paying. LOL! :laugh:

Oh, by the way, now you get to *pay* if you would like to play a DVD on your own PC!

And they are going to “spy on you” and report you to the cops if they catch any pirate software on your PC. Read this article and OPT OUT!

Windows 10, "Not so free"

NOTE: This is satire and humor to illustrate a very real issue. Please do not take my rants seriously and try to find some humor in it while looking carefully on things to come. ;)

Special Thanks to [MENTION=1472623]d.casper.b[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] for some good help with this.

Alright I will quite now. Thanks for putting up with me guys. Please, share your Windows stories, links, and thoughts if you have any. 'night guys! :cowboy:

FINAL EDIT:

That is all the bad stuff I can find for now. There is good news though. Windows 10 is reported to be a very fast, very fine operating system. Taking the free upgrade to Windows 10 will tank your system and is NOT a good idea. There is a leaked developer ISO file out there, easy to find that has an advanced install method which allows you to install to an empty drive or raw space if you shrink your partition and you can have a dual boot system!

There ISO you want is "windows 10 pro 10240 iso". A Google search will help you find it easily. Download Rufus 2.2 to make the bootable flash drive with Windows 10 Pro install on it, this will create a dual boot system. Instructions and activation are all on the web and youtube. Now, I can install this safely and keep my original Windows 7 (or 8) system in place and try out Windows 10!

I feel better now and can close this Off Topic thread. That's it, we know the issues and dangers, and we have a nice developer iso file to install with. Sweet! That really is it for this post. 'night guys. ;)
