GimboV

I love when he shoots himself in the face. Those paintball guns hurt from 100's of feet I can't even guess how much that hurt from point blank.

I do not know about Mommalina but I would be totally in to help resurrect Kicken Hardware. If anyone is interested in or doing this currently let me know please.

Not sure what you mean Allheart? You think there is something in the processor linked to the OS?

Well this may be BS and it might not. I can tell you this. Since at least Vista that I know of, the OS has a section in device manager for the processor. I upgraded a processor and for some reason device manager didn't auto-magically notice the change. Although I changed the processor, the OS still showed it as the old one and as such I saw no performance gain. I began digging around to figure out why there was no change in performance. By luck I looked in device manager and saw that it still had the old processor listed so I uninstalled the entries for it. After doing this and rebooting, the system saw the new hardware and I noticed a performance gain. So with that being said there is something tied in the OS to the processor, well at least as I can tell.

Nice I would be interested in test results.

I was just wondering what features you found that I may be unaware of. You said you were glad you stuck with it and mentioned so many useful features so I just was asking what they were.

"Since I have been using Win 10 Pro for weeks now, I am glad I stuck with it as it has so many useful features i was not aware of and to which I had to acclimate." I am curious as to what these features are. Can you elaborate please?

Not good. It could be a serious threat to personal privacy. Windows is just an OS not a monitoring software and this is not what anyone needs, including MS. Things like this will just ruin MS and the OS.

Nice thanks for the tip.

Well I don't need a test to tell me. I'm sleepy, hungry, SEXY, playful and crazy

Microsoft has been largely silent but they need to clarify why they are doing what they do and how users will be affected. This statement says it all.

Yes I agree Nev that is why those numbers don't mean much. I don't view the success or failure by the number of systems in use. That number doesn't mean anything in terms of success other then to Microsoft's revenue and then only at the time of sale. I view success on the actual workings of the OS. There are too many factors to try and figure out why someone is still on a certain OS or not on another. Win XP in terms of numbers was when the market boomed, everyday people were buying PC's due to the internet craze. Not everyone is a computer person, so they may view it like a TV or a refrigerator and only upgrade when it breaks or every tens years, whatever comes first.

WinXP ...... Pass Vista ...... Fail Win7 ....... Pass Win8 ....... Fail Are you serious? WinXP pass? Win XP before SP3 was a total failure. It was and is the most hacked OS. It was a major change from the separation of Win and Win NT. Vista was not a failure. Hardware manufacturers were the fail for Vista. MS told the manufacturers they were changing the way drivers would work and no one listened. Vista was a great OS. WIn7 was just a polished version of Vista, never understood all the fanfare about it. Win8 is a fail? How? Win8 is the best thing MS ever did. What the removal of the start menu? It was 20 years old! Glad to see it go, you served us well but it's time to move on. The Win8 start page is awesome and if you haven't mastered it I would suggest taking another look at it. And all the BS about it being a tablet OS is BS I use a mouse and keyboard on win8 daily and never notice any difference. The only thing I wish they would bring back is good code. And by that I mean code for keyboard shortcuts. Windows always had keyboard shortcuts and I don't mean Win+ any key. I mean the underscore of a letter within a button. Like so (Button) this was a great feature, however most people had no idea what it was. You could actually use Windows without a mouse. I won a bet once with someone because they didn't believe I could totally operate the OS with just a keyboard. Free lunch and made someone wiser.

I hear Rich once again saying this OS is not ready for general consumption. Primary purpose is to address post release issues. Didn't they have Insider testing before release? And this is way to fast to honestly have any feedback post-release. My faith in MS is really beginning to fade. And I'm a total MS fanboy.

By default gamer mode is enabled when an application runs in full screen. The setting is under computer -> gamer mode.
