windows 7 or 10 ?

Yeah apparently we (consumer) aren't intelligent to enough to need control panel, msconfig, or anytthing useful.
MS knows whats best for us!

Now there is a revelation they've known that for years foisting Vista then 8 on us in between XP and 10 and when one or two of us finally get the hang of it they give the next version.

Trouble is there is no viable alternative - have tried Linux and Ubuntu and well I found the use of a command prompt way of navigating some parts of the the system really quite irritating let alone time consuming.

Hi Lee, yea, I found that, and, I found a separate place where one can set the home page, it sticks there, but not in settings.

Yes, there are dark days ahead.....

I'm like mjf, I was used to XP and had to learn to live with 7 and that's what I'll do with 10.
I plan to do a mreflect backup after I load firefox, other essential programs, and after I uninstall the McAfee that lenovo uses, now there's a thread for later; What do you think of McAfee since Intel bought it out and has been developing it?

While using 10 I'm already thinking, now where did I see that in 7?

Just install your favorite browser if you don`t like Edge, I sure don`t.

And I thought the entire idea of feedback was to help MS build a better OS ? why in the he// would they remove the control panel ?

They may as well just turn the feedback option off

FF 52.0.2 and a .pdf reader is on 10 now.
I was thinking; If MS gets rid of CP, where are they going to "stuff" everything that's in there now? Imagine the paths getting to the view tab in folder options.... The tutorials will be glorious!
I see some system apps like msconfig have already been changed.

I would of liked to have seen 10home remain "traditional" and they could experiment to their hearts desire with 10pro, but in MS's way of thinking it's just a business.
I can picture the MS board room doing business with their blackberry's, earbuds and phones telling R&D what works and what don't, they have some personal desktop and smaller pc's but I'll bet, rarely use them, their families maybe, but not them. What feedback! Aww...Dad/Mom, can you do something about this?!?

We have a local TV station that went mobile on their weather show, some of the city labels block out the radar and satellite, I wrote them about it, didn't help, but I wrote.

Wellll...mite as well get comfortable and settle into working with my xmas present before I take my Winter's nap. Cold, rainy, and snow for the NE next Sunday the 11th.


Clear Skies!

Hi,
Yikes Mcafee = no difference rebranding it to Intel security or anything else Intel comes up with
The issue is not the name it's problem is the software :)

Oh!!! The Shame!!!

I looked into it, click on monthly tests: AV-Comparatives Real-World Protection Test - AV-Comparatives I was surprised at AVG, but I'm looking into Avira. McAfee is slightly better than MSE. Just to be sure this is what I'm looking at: AV-Comparatives - Independent Tests of Anti-Virus Software - Real
World Protection Test Overview

I believe this is the page for removal: https://How to uninstall McAfee Windows security software using the Consumer Products Removal tool [MCPR] | service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal

That would be Awesome Mega Great Idea.

But of course we all know it will never happen
