The graph for the Processor has been more peaceful since I wrote about the huge number of tracking cookies on here. Maybe someone doesn't want that kind of publicity, do you suppose?
Moving along here, let's take a look at the offer of a "free upgrade" to Windows 10, from Windows 7 or 8/8.1 - If you're like most of us, then you had to pay for your Windows 7, or your Windows 8, so your upgrade to Windows 10 is costing you whatever you spent on those, and therefore "free" it isn't. You're losing a purchased operating system in exchange for this new version, which you may or may not find as useful or as user-friendly. And when it comes to "user-friendly" nothing since has been able to beat Windows 7. These newer ones have introduced more devious methods of doing simpler things, and calling it progress.
And the gang at Microsoft have been doing their thing long enough already that they certainly ought to have this down to a smoother system by now. I keep wondering how they can keep on making the same blunders over and over. It's like they're starting off with a whole crew of greenhorns for each new incarnation of Windows, and that might explain all the "teething problems".
I agree with you Ray. XP was good, Win 7 better and then the "teething problems" return. You may be onto the problem, because you'd think that they'd learn that showing junk down peoples throats usually doesn't produce real good results..
ReplyDeleteAlthough nobody's asked me, I think Microsoft is making a big mistake
ReplyDeleteby trying to be "all things to all users of computing devices" and
try to compete successfully and head-to-head with Apple's mobile devices,
when Apple has obviously got a big head-start, and has the mobile market
fairly well tied up.
I think they should be concentrating on doing what they've always done best,
producing useful software for the home and office computer user.
And all the talk about "desktops are a dying breed" prompts me to ask
why, then, does Windows 7 still have 56.53% of the market share in Sept. 2015?
