There should be a Mac only thread in here

yeah - that works - thanks.

 

There should be a Mac only thread in here

i don't know about the rest of the mac users, but i find it difficult, if not impossible, to **bleep** through all the windows related posts. just about everything posted in here is meaningful only for windows users. the small percentage of mac related
questions and posts are hard to find.

the software available for the mac is quite different than the pc software. they are essentially unrelated. can we push for a top-level split between 'PC Software' and 'Mac Software'?

i'm sure this would benefit a windows users as well, since a few of them likely stumble across iCal/iSync/Multimedia Transfer/etc posts.

just my 2 bits...

 

We might see a new version of Windows 10 aimed at the workstation;

Microsoft leak reveals new Windows 10 Workstation edition for power users - The Verge

 

I read somewhere about WIndows 10 Enterprise being renamed to Advanced.

 

You could say this about any software.

 

If MS had only one edition then a lot of people would complain about all the blot that they don't use and how to remove it. *Banghead

It's better than it used to be. I think they learned from Windows 7. Starter, 2 versions of Home, etc. I'd like to see Home and Pro disappear and be replaced with a single version. Windows 10 Consumer Edition, with all the features of Pro.

 

MS will do whatever makes them the MOST money, I am sure they are not TOO interested in the end users, just their $$$ *Smile

 

I'm not crazy about Thurrott, tell the truth. The guy has been doing this for decades but never seems to have absorbed/learned very much--he's still functioning at the n00b-consumer level--tech ultra-light--and most of his articles are deliberately contentious in order to attract page hits. I still visit his new site occasionally, but really there is little to nothing there in terms of solutions--mainly it's just Paul complaining about this little thing or that little thing.

 

I don't really see the need for all of these versions. Some, that are only VL are fine, you obtain them if you are a business or school and need them.

For retail use, I never really understood a need for Home/Pro. It doesn't really cost MS anymore if you want to use RDP or Group Policy editor. Let people use HyperV, otherwise they just use virtualbox or vmware player.

Bloat doesn't need to be an issue, make extra features something you turn on. They already do it.

I agree with Thurrott that this is one area that Apple does much better. There is 1 Mac OS Sierra. If you have it, you can do everything that everybody else with Mac OS Sierra can do. Every write up on the Internet, or anything you read in a book applies to you. It just works.

 

I'm waiting for Windows 13. what Luck !

I think a lot of the cheaper versions of Windows (?) is caused by the major manufactures of computers.
They want in many cases the less costly version of Windows (7) so they can lower the price of their computers.

How many people would go to the store and buy Windows Basic or Starter. They were in the past put on Manufacture built computers.

I feel that he has lost a great deal of credibility. At one time he was a great source but IMHO that is gone.

 

How about a totally bloat free version? Those who like bloat could download the store, and fill up their HDD if they wish.
