7 was a lot more stable. I was very happy with the performance boost over vista, even on an ancient Intel Core Duo.

I've found the opposite to be true. My Dad's Alienware with a top of the line NVIDIA graphics card (GTX 680) and a quad core i7 processor, along with 32 GB of RAM runs 7 worse than my PC that has an Intel Core 2 Duo and a low end AMD (well, it was ATI back then) graphics card ran Vista.

I still don't see what's wrong with vista. to my vista and 7 were basically the same just some ui changes. 

I heard a lot of compatibility issues with Windows Vista that MS had to get Windows 7 out before it took MS down the tubes but I could be wrong but I have a bunch of friends that hate Vista because some of their hardware was not working right even with the updates so they got rid of it and bought a Windows 7 desktop when 7 came out. I had a laptop running Windows XP Home and I waited to upgrade my laptop to Windows 7 Home when it came out so I skipped Windows Vista with the problems I heard from my friends and the tech sites I go to said not to get Vista do to the problems it had so I waited it out.

I think I am one of the few people that actually really likes Windows 8.  

I really like 8.1.  There were a few glaring issues in 8 for me.

Windows XP was good

Windows ME was the worst piece of junk ever

Windows 98 was good

Windows 95 was meh

Windows 3.1 (and 3.11) was solid

Windows 3.0 was meh

 

I can't comment on Windows 2 or 1.

Close :) 98 was alright but 98SE was the great one. 

 

I've been using 8 for a while on a laptop alongside using 7 for actual work. 8 is alright, the interface really comes into its own on a tablet. The problem was forcing it down peoples throats. Hopefully W10 will be as solid as 7&8 with the option to avoid metro on desktops but use it on laptops.

 

Phones are getting so powerful now we arent far off full windows on a phone, throw in a fold out screen and that would be a beast! The again I'm strange lol, it would probably only sell to me.

I was counting 98 and 98SE as close enough in my mind (same thing for 3.1 and 3.11)

 

My problem with 8/8.1 is the interface. It didn't seem right for a desktop. I haven't heard many complaints about stability or compatibility though. From what little they let out, it looks like 10 address those issues. 

 

I haven't owned a Windows phone yet, but I am willing to try one. Hint, hint.

You know I beta tested Windows ME in the early days of it and I liked it better than Windows 98 First & 2nd Edition. I have every Windows OS from Windows 1.0 thru Windows 8.1 on a Blu-Ray Disc here with ALL flavors and on top of that all MS-DOS. Out of all the Windows you mention I like Windows XP the most before Windows 7 came out which Windows 7 is now 1st on my list then Windows XP then Windows ME.

 

I remember (and miss) the DOS prompt. :dep:

 

I liked XP and left it kicking and screaming. 7 has really grown on me. I also really thought that 98 hit the mark at the time. The only thing that (it some ways) made 98 better was 2000. I wanted NT with that nice 98 look.

Installed in over windows 8.1 . it saved all my data but stashed all my programs in a windows.old folder. Seems very stable.... And I like that start menu. A major thing I've noticed is that in cmd you can ctrl v to paste things... That's a major feature I'm loving right now... Also I like the way the windows look now. They have a very minimal boarder around them.

Any 90 days limits or anything? I would need to use it for a while.

That's not bad.

By that time the consumer preview will be out and everyone will be able to upgrade to that. I think they're gonna have a way for everyone to have windows 10 up until it launches like they did with 8.

I ran the preview for win 8 when it first came out and it wasn't a issue. By the time April 15 hits I would be willing to clean install things anyway. Gotta make sure a couple apps will work for sure before I go in naked. I use my pc as a media streaming pc using plex and I don't want to mess up my flow.

I would definitely try it on a secondary PC first or a VM to make sure everything works. [emoji106]

Installed it yesterday. Turned off the start menu and went back to start screen  :wacko: ... Used to hate the start screen now I'd rather have it, think I'm too lazy to re-map my brain again.

 

So far so good, caught a couple of bugs but it's running solid

 

Did I miss Windows 9? :scratch:

 

there are apps that perform a Windows 9* search, so they skipped to 10 for compatibility reasons, allegedly

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
