By Brian Fagioli

Windows 10 is a wildly popular operating system in more ways than one. In one regard, it is installed on hundreds of millions of machines. In another, it is popular with technology pundits as something to portray in a negative light.

While it isn't perfect, Windows 10 is the best version of Microsoft's operating system ever. It is fast, reliable, and pretty. Best of all, it runs an endless amount of classic Windows programs, plus the new universal Windows apps too. True, there are some privacy concerns, but if you don't trust Microsoft with your data, why are you using any of the company's software? Sorry, y'all, Microsoft knows what's best for you -- stop fighting Windows 10! Sticking to an older version of the OS is asinine.

When it comes to software -- especially an operating system -- newer is better. Even if you prefer an older UI or functionality, it simply isn't safe to run outdated or unsupported software. Using outdated software can get your machine compromised by an exploit.

True, Windows 7 and 8.1 are still supported and safe to use, but sticking to these operating systems is just prolonging the inevitable. Look, not trusting Windows 10 because of privacy concerns makes sense, but if you don't trust Microsoft with your data, you should switch to something Linux-based or OS X. Not trusting Microsoft while using an older version of Windows doesn't add up -- it is senseless.

BetaNews has covered Microsoft's arguably shady Windows 10 tactics, including how to block upgrades. You can see some examples below. Some of Microsoft's tactics are questionable, but the ends justify the means. The company is simply doing its users a favor.

If you want to stick with Windows 7 or 8.1 -- hell, XP -- that is totally your right. However, it just isn't smart. Look, car analogies are a cliche, and I generally detest them, but I'll use one anyway. Some people prefer driving older cars for style, and other reasons, but newer cars have better features -- including safety.

Backup cameras, curtain airbags, and Bluetooth are just a few things that can make modern cars better. Windows 10 is like a fully-loaded 2016 sedan, while Windows 7 is your reliable 2009 Toyota Corolla. Even if you love your existing car, if you were offered a free upgrade to a new car with more features, wouldn't you take it?

Windows 10 has many enhancements, such as an improved start menu, access to the Windows Store, Cortana and the Edge browser. The SmartScreen functionality works brilliantly to keep users safe. This is just scratching the surface of new features -- some of these are on Windows 8.1, so Windows 7 users in particular will benefit the most by upgrading.

If Windows 10 had a monetary upgrade cost for home users, I'd understand people clutching to Windows 7 or 8.1 because they couldn't afford to upgrade. But with Windows 10 being a free upgrade, not upgrading is foolish.

When it comes to upgrading to Windows 10, be like Nike and just do it.

You guys need to get your head out of your autistic asses.

This is not even shilling. Nothing that even bears any resemblance of reasonable gets presented from the Betanews articles posted here. SPECIALLY here, with our blatant hatred of proprietary software and anti privacy policies. If they were shilling they would at the very least post the articles that we'd be more likely to agree with.

This is just a meme. To make fun of the fag's name. Of his stupid face. Of his stupid faggy articles of taking MS's spying up the ass and enjoying it.

Fuck that noise... there hasn't been a car vaguely up to my standards made since they discontinued the Roadmaster in 96-ish. Even that had a couple airbags, OBD2, and complicated engine management. GF and I both drive GMC trucks from the 70's. Tough as hell, easy to fix, only electronics is the one piece electronic ignition module which is embedded in the metal distributor housing (making it somewhat EMP resistant).

The only thing I want my OS to do is obey my commands... as long as it does its job I don't care if its CP/M.

Because I know what I'm fucking doing, you fat fucking faggot?

Not all software phones home, and the software that does is usually caught in the act (which is, surprise surprise, how Win 10 was caught in the first place!), so as long as you know what software you're using and you haven't seen any suspicious network activity, you should be fine. There's less information of me being sent to Microsoft if I Win 7 than there would be if I used Win 10.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Brian Fagioli, is in fact, Beta-Fagioli, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Beta-Fag. Brian Fagioli is not a competent journalist, but rather another shill component of a fully functioning botnet made useful by the Micro$oft.

Many visitors read a clickbait article by the Beta-Fag every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, this clickbait was designed by this Beta-Fag shill today to gather hits on his page, and many of its users are not aware this.

> Windows 10 is a wildly popular operating system

> Reasoning: it is installed on hundreds of millions of machines

Well gee I wonder fucking why. Could it possibly have something to do with Microsoft's shady practice of forcefully installing it on people's computers under the guise of "An important security update for Windows 7/8.1".

> Backup cameras, curtain airbags, and Bluetooth are just a few things that can make modern cars better. Windows 10 is like a fully-loaded 2016 sedan, while Windows 7 is your reliable 2009 Toyota Corolla. Even if you love your existing car, if you were offered a free upgrade to a new car with more features, wouldn't you take it?

Of course I would, assuming of course that the sedan is outfitted like any regular car.

If, however, it came with "Microsoft CarOS X®" which cannot be turned off, that tracked me with GPS whenever the vehicle is turned on, and then proceeded to send that information to Microsoft and a number of undisclosed third parties, I would say no thank you and keep my 2009 Corolla. Alternatively say "Yes thank you" and then disassemble the car and sell it for scrap parts.

> But with Windows 10 being a free upgrade

Except it's not free. You pay for it with usage-information that Microsoft proceeds to monetize. You pay for it with ads in the OS. You pay for it with Windows Calculator asking you to "Rate this App" in order to lure you to the Micorosoft Store in order to display even more ads.

In the corporate world, there is no such thing as "free", only "hidden costs".

A disguised cry for help, so it can not be a blatant message but it still needs to be sent as publically as possible to improve the chances of being heard and decoded.

I have a Windows 7 installation on its own SSD in my desktop alongside a GANOO SLASH LEENOCKZ installation on its own SSD. I boot into Windows 7 when I want to play games, then reboot and boot from the linux disk for normal desktop use.

Both system disks use full disk encryption, so the Windows 7 install can't phone home about anything on my linux disk.

DEAR FUCK. If there's something I fucking hate about Macrohard is the curryniggers they hire to do that on the support forums.

I was looking for an explanation as to why Office 2016 requires a mail address to work and how to transfer a license to another mail and these stupid hindus just kept evading the problem without ever giving a clear answer. After enough browsing and tinkering I eventually figured that they do it to enforce the personal, non-transferable status of their license and to jew even more shekels by selling a database of paying Office customers to any business or government agency interested in that info.
