windows 10 free upgrade
Trevor:
Not sure who the last comment is refrencing...
The joint thing happens in 98 too so its an an8 problem not a Win problem.
Win 10 is actually looking really good now. There are a few bugs but less and less as we approach Jul 29.
10 is a definit improvement in GUI over 8. Desktop mode is default again and the start menu can be customised such that its closely resembles a basic 7 menu by removing all tiles. This leaves recently opened aplications on left and then all programs in a scroling menu when clicked.
On Phones, if you plug in a keyboard and mouse it switches to desktop mode which is pretty cool. Kinda wish nokia used intel chips now... would have been cool to use an8 on phone :P
Yeah, I do beleve they skipped 9 due to 9x, but they also said they wanted to use "One" however they wernt alowed since Win "1.0" was taken so they chose 10.
Also, after the 29th they plan to continue the Insider program for Win11 on the 30th.
Anyone have any win32 programs they wish to have tested in 10?

that's good to hear - i've just built a new high-end PC for media work (including anim8or!) and am basically waiting for Win10 so i can get it fully working - seems a bit stupid to install 8, and then change it a few weeks later. and it's got a hex-core processor, which means i'm more keen than ever to see true render multi-threading get implemented...

Yes, multithreading would be very helpful.

Microsoft. we get something crappy like vista, the win7 is adequate, then they gives the i-device wannabe windows 8, then windows 10. and it costs money.
linux is less trouble for me

Lol, I heard that it was because people would have low expectaions and would equate "Windows 9" with just basically another Windows 8, and so they'd seperate from the stigma by skipping a number.
Many reasons, I guess though.
