Windows 10 worse than windows 8

Slow ring for me then if it breaks VMs. I'm not too bothered about Spartan anyway so it's no hassle. Hopefully this time updating through Updates won't break all currently mapped network drives either.

But it runs OK on virtual machines in build 10041. Been up all night doing several test installs, had an ISO for clean installs created about an hour later than the ESD upgrade 10049 was released, testing various Sysprep customization scenarios.

... anyway, a new build for enthusiasts and haters alike was released an hour ago:

Thanks Kari. :) Getting it now. :)

I'll update one of my VMs later this afternoon. I have 9926 and 10041 to try updates on after imaging my VM drive.

it's horrible to look at - so full of toys, gizmo's and gadgets..
a bewildering array of (mostly) unnecessary tricks

ok if you want to use your PC as though it were a mobile phone (or via a tablet..)
with all those tiles and apps galore (a future money-spinner, no doubt..) - and the dreaded cloud..
most Windows 8/8.1 users I've spoken to never use them and find ways to avoid them..
- why they should think that Windows 10 will be any different beats me..

if they could stick the engine into a decent desktop design, then they'd be on a sure-fire winner
at the moment it just appears to be a vehicle for Microsoft's vision of a future where you can
connect your kettle to the internet to find out if it's boiled the water for a cup of coffee yet..

- Windows 7 really is the king of desktops as far as MS goes..

The only thing I so called Hate is being classified as a hater when all I ask is "should be simple" options to remove unwanted "windows apps"
If these are truly windows apps they should be at the least listed in windows features On or Off
If they aren't then yes I hate that

Here it comes...

Installing Windows 10 in a virtual machine right now.

Can you even think of the mess is going to be created when a billion people try this download method that us Previews are doing now for a W-10 Upgrade from 1041 to 1049.Then throw in a billion counterfeiters of W-7 in the mix.

Seriously folks I do worry about the method Microsoft is going to use to distribute W-10 free and or paid for.
I have been downloading for almost a hour and I'm at 32%. Just going from 10041 to 10049.

That is pretty wild for in the middle of the day,
But of course it's release day so expect the impatient to jump on it :)

My last upgrade was like 4 am and it wasn't any quicker.

Think on the big picture. The Globe. Many places in the world have caps on such things as download and band with per month. One upgrade would shut them down for the month because they have toped out their allocation for the month. Most people in the world do not have a internet speed like a fighter jet or the bandwidth of a 6 lane highway.

Can you think of just the counterfeit copies of Windows 7 in China hitting the internet to upgrade to Windows 10 non genuine. What a mess.
