Windows 10 compatibility report is not ready

Your suggestion is completely useless. User doesnt ask about a generic FAQ. User wants to update to windows 10 but stupid and completely worthless raport is keeping him out. Same as me, i have everything ready, update downloaded, yet i am waiting for worthless
generated raport if my brand new pc is compatible or not.

Why it is completely worthless? Because users report crashes bugs and driver issues that were completely okey with your worthless raport. There should be an option to "proceed anyway".

Oh and btw. . .2 weeks to generate worthless raport? that means, lets say my ssd fails, i get a new one, have to install windows 8, patch it, then windows 8.1, patch it (because some **** thought it would be a good idea to require different installation/activation
key for 8.1) then . . i will have to wait up to two weeks for my pc to update and return to its "normal state" just because a worthless raport is being "generated" and because another ****** decided i cant just use my windows 8 key for windows 10 free upgrade
using new installation? Congratulations on decision making.

This windows is not free. It costs users 8+ hours of fiddling with updates to get to "ready for w10" stage, then up to two weeks, OR "go buy 200$ key, install from iso file within 15 minutes and be done"

Zero entropy - what utter garbage. Any scientist or engineer know ms what entropy is, and that overall it inrxorably increases until the end of time when universe finally dies due to heat death!

 

Microsoft says Win 8/10's weak randomisation is 'working as intended'

This bug is a feature in 11 out of 12 scenarios

To see what software in your install even uses ASLR(or other security stuff too), get Process Explorer64, right click the columns at the top, select columns you wish, like ASLR:



close, then click the ASLR column, and you can the have a look-see.

You are thinking of the schoolboy concept of entropy. You should be thinking of this Entropic security - Wikipedia

This is not the same thing at all - just the "random" number is always exactly the same in Win10 and was not in earlier EMET versions. Therefore (as it is always the same number) how would you define the entropy? Zero seems a pretty fair description.

It isn't ASLR is wrong it was just incorporated wrong in Win 10 apparently.

Just read the OP - it links to it.

Will Dormann on Twitter:

 

Entropy is not a schoolboy concept! It underpins the whole of thermodynamics.

It is bs using term for anything else.

 

Best you update Wikipedia then and make sure anyone using cryptography uses a different word.

Best make sure there is not more than one meaning of the word "word" either. Word up!
