New computer wants to update 10 to 11. Anyone running it? Experiences, good and bad?
I've learned that if someone asks you a really stupid question and you reply by telling them what time it is, they'll leave you alone

Apparently it eliminates the taskbar & uses other methods is about all I've heard .. pallets I guess



Can't say that is a turn-on for me

He isn't from me either, although I like and run windows



I bought grand opening special for Win 8 for very tiny price .... got free updated to 8.1 .. then free 10 keep up to date



I'm not letting my disgust for gates stop me from what I like



All that said, had to as Civil Engineering clients all use AutoCAD on Windows & they were our money base .. and I taught them over  phone with

 exactly what they were using  in front of me so i could instruct them exactly (they are extreme pros all use win to run heavy duty Civil AutoCAD  on BTW)



A Win Win   :wink:  .. About 40 bucks outlay and many many years of extremely successful heavy duty operation   ac_biggrin .. and gates got little from me





Also, for non those who are non techies, it's so easy and breakproof to run

I haven't heard any opinions about it.

By options, do you mean they will ultimately force it on us?



They pretty much did that with 10, but it was the strongest OS ever for heavy duty applications

Can't use it  ... It isn't gutsy enough to run high end Engineering apps with authority



Sorry to burst bubble, bit it's quite limited in the husky apps areas .. at least for the few who tried to make theirs work on it .. most of the biggies gave up



Have never encountered an Engineering firm that uses it for Civil and other demanding husky programs



It's OK for media & drawing (pretty fair in fact as that is what it was designed for)  and also OK for light to medium dicking around I suppose

My bubble is fine, and a little more robust than being popped by the perennial "Mac vs PC" debate.



Apple processing power is equivalent to PC based systems. Being "gutsy" isn't the issue. It's software developers having to develop their software for 2 disparate systems. It is simply uneconomical because Windows based PC's are cheaper, and Windows is a better enterprise system. Apple wouldn't even consider that marketplace. It's simply not designed for that. It has become a digital ecosystem that includes a range of products all designed to work seamlessly. Windows has never followed that path because it is an operating system, and is not geared towards various hardware types.



They are simply on different paths. If kiebers is running a high end engineering app, I guess Windows makes sense. If a domestic user, Apple is a far better option. I worked in IT, and used both extensively.

Anyone one know much about 11?

From searching, seems it's mostly about security & a cpl of newer hardware's are needed  ... without them it may not install or support if one slides an installation through



The key is newer chip and another physical device that started being added about 5 years ago



My trusty Asus is a blazer (we bought for the future at the time) so I do not need speed & anything faster would cost many 1,000s today ... so I think I'll sit on my older speedball & 10 .

Good vid



Seems he does a lot of stuff. Duck Duck fans need to listen to him on how NOT to use it and how TO use it .. vital



If you don't know how to use it correctly, you  are kidding yourself on privacy
