Buds Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I like the look of it and if they have improved performance then great. The free upgrade is a smart move imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 2, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2015 I used to use windows until about 6 years ago when I started tinkering with low level networking, Linux is fantastic for that. So I kinda missed out on Vista & 7. I've had to use 8 for a few things recently and that was god awful. Kinda like the Xbox one interface, its gone backwards. I don't know what Microsoft are thinking. Even just paying for Xbox Live is a ridiculous feat at this point. It's like brewster's millions is happening at Microsft, there trying to lose money lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I use linux at work Ubuntu, and i like it but i need to use windows because of the programs i need for producing music and djing programs or I would switch myself. Windows 8.1 is good but you either have to use classic shell to bring back the start button or use a dock for your programs. Win 8.1 is really fast even on a HDD I have stuck a SSD in for just my OS and program drive and it is very fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akic Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Win 7 is still my goto windows build. Hate all flavours of 8 but am using 10 on one of my laptops and it's definitely an improvement. I don't think I'll be jumping on to 10 with any of my main PCs soon after launch, I'll let everyone else do the guinea pigging for MS and maybe move over if I like what I see.

Zennon Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I will put it on a diffrent hard drive and switch the boot order of the drives and test it out first. I have to say when i go on 7 machines at work they seem slow in comparison to 8.1 machines I service. I did like 7 back in the day but there is so many improvements over it in 8.1 I couldnt go back to it. I understand though that people like to stick with what they know but i think your missing out Akic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akic Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Or you could do what I have done 3 SSDs in RAID 5, 32Gb RAM and 12 core i7. Who needs optimisation lol And yes I know it's overkill just wanted to go balls out for the lulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Haha nice set up mate Are you into over clocking ?, I like to overclock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akic Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Haha nice set up mate Are you into over clocking ?, I like to overclock Yeah I love over clocking but don't do it on my main PC I need 100% stability there and I always find myself pushing things to the brink when over clocking. I have some test systems that scream though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Ive still got an old Q6600 overclocked to 3.6Ghz from 2.4Ghz and its stable no isssue at all. The crazy thing is i go on i5's i7's black edition AMD's at work but because people do not have net etiquette they have hijacks crapware trojans etc so they end up being slow anyway.

cranium2001 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I missed 9 I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 9 was 8.1 really haha, they say that 10 is the last os they will make and it is written as such that it just needs patches through its life , with major changes taking place. What do you think about the xbox live and pc master race being able to game together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think about the xbox live and pc master race being able to game together? I think it's a great idea. I honestly would love to pool PS and Xbox together too. I know it won't happen, but imagine how many players online. It would fix a lot of problems and create a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know the ins and outs of it but mouse and keyboard vs controller for fps seems like a big advantage for the PC crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I think xbox folk will say you got a mouse and keyboard it's not fair. Unless they change the rules to allow kb's on live I know people already use xims undercover of the night. I wonder if they will need to cap the fps on pc when they play us.

Zennon Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 No 7 is far from slow i just mean i feel that 8 is more stream lined it just feels little bit snappier pro But it might be that all the customers 7 i am using have not turned off animations etc and when i come home my windows pop up instantly instead of fading in. I find normal 8 doesnt fade things in as much as 7 and that might be the response I am noticing. The way the file explorer works on 8 is far superior to 7 i would have thought that would suit a work machine better it cuts down on right click searches for tools etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procreate Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 i tweak my OS so i dunno. mine is as fast as i need it to be. plus i use a lot of key shortcuts like alt+tab to get between windows. i really never bothered to look at the file explorer details for win8+ tbh. guess i should look, not that i would ever use that for a desktop.
