Windows 10: Windows 10 After 6 Months: Already the Second Most Used Desktop OS

the other awesome thing about mac is you don't have to think to use it. I had to use my brain a little to figure out how to use windows 10

 

So Macs still transmit viruses, I thought they would have made it more secure by eliminating these things by now

Mac user receives an email with a virus ridded attachment
Mac user get nothing from this as the virus doesn't affect the OS
Mac user emails document to friends and infects there PC's with viruses

 

I recall a discussion I had with a senior technician at one of the UK's largest internet providers - although apple systems accounted for less than 10% of their clients, they accounted for almost 30% of the fault reports. Of course this was a few years ago - PC's are more reliable these days and the percentage of Mac users is back to it's proper level of less than 5% *Biggrin

 

that is true mac's can transmit viruses... but that is not something that really ever concerned me. as far as I am concerned that would be on the end user to have their system protected if they are not using a mac

 

A Mac is not 100% safe. This is one example. Do I need an anti-virus program for my MacBook Pro? - Apple

 

I take it that Win3x and 9x were motorbikes without breaks and break lights?

 

I like Windows 10 but it doesn't seem as fast or stable as Windows 7 yet. Hopefully with the next major update it will be.

 

I never have used a mac simply because business really don't use them and the little PC work/use I did was just to connect to a mainframe host system.

 

When I was considering to upgrade to a PC or Apple computer I let the software selection choose for me. I started out with a Atari 800XL and when it started getting to hard to find any software I went with a Tandy 1000 RLX. The Tandy was my first computer with a HDD. When it became hard to find software for the Tandy I decided it was time for another new computer. When I went to my favorite software store("Electronics Boutique" if I remember correctly) I compared the amount of software for the PC compared to the amount of software available for the Apple. Not wanting to get stuck with another computer system that was going to be abandoned I chose the PC. To this day even though Apple is still around I'm glad I chose the PC and not the Apple.

edit: My first Windows computer was a Packard Bell 80286 running Windows for Workgroup 3.1 or 3.11.

 

For the win.. right tool for the right job. *Wink

 

So far I feel the move to Windows 10 was the right decision. My first computer was a Commodore 64. Ran a local BBS with it and met a lot of good people. The thirst for more power, access to more software, and my job lead me to Microsoft.
I feel in time, Windows 10 will be will be solid and stable operating system. *Wink

 

actually for me windows 10 seems much faster than windows 7... not quite as fast as my core 2 duo mac mini running os x 10.11 el capitan.

 

the other thing is my dell latitude e6410 although a nice computer with the 2.67 i5 processor doesn't scream hey look at me. it is not at all a "flashy" looking machine. it has a stanless steel lid but other than that it doesn't have a cool lit up symbol on the lid or be made out of all aluminum. it kinda looks like most other laptops. it doesn't create attention

 

Is that sarcasm, because there's no way 7 is faster than 10, I've got it on 4 computers to prove it. 7 slows down like a dog when you start loading heaps of programmes on it, and so far I haven't noticed any slowdown on Windows 10.

 

10 coming from 7 on my HP rocks!! It took a lot of perseverance and tweaking, but it was totally worth it. At this point I can actually say much better than 7.

Took a lot of work though!! The forums here made it all possible. HP and MS didn't / couldn't help me one bit. But the 10 forums? This is where its at!!
