We've all known that Crik is a malignant handicap with a few too little brain cells to put together a cohesive argument, so it's unsurprising that many of his complaints are so unfounded I don't even need to comment since they do so well at defeating themselves. If we wishes, I could go back and completely dismantle his entire post, but for now I'd rather save him the embarrassment.
But then I discovered this gem, and I almost felt like a freight train had bum-rushed me given how thick-headed the author must be. Excuse me if I come off as hot-headed during this, but I am so sick and tired of people spreading rumours and bullstuff which they heard from other people yet haven't actually got any of the requisite knowledge to prove it (because it's all false).
I don't know why people feel the need to upgrade to windows 10 when it's just windows 8 with very slight differences which are mostly negative.
I'm glad that you've proven to me that you are quite literally an idiot, incapable of understanding basic facts yet wants to preach like they're the most knowledgeable on the planet.
I'm not quite sure you understand left from right, let alone the basic facts I'm about to give you, but listen carefully. It's important.
Every version of Windows since Win95 has been nothing more than upgrading on top of the previous OS.The changes in the UI have no loving resemblance to the amount of new functionality or behind-the-scenes core changes to the system that have been made. Just because you don't use all the new features and ignore them doesn't mean they don't exist.
WDDM 2.0 has been a loving life saver and has the added benefit of increasing game performance. The new Task Manager is FAR more detailed and gives more information, to the point that I don't have to rely on Process Manager anywhere near as much. The Start Menu's tile thing is actually really loving awesome, and lets me group useful applications together for quick-access. DirectX12 and UWP are going to be pretty loving swell, especially with the new Xbox games that are coming to PC. The File Explorer is just an enormously more pleasurable experience to use, especially for someone like me who has to manage hundreds to thousands of files daily. Microsoft Edge is a really handy low-cost browser to have on hand when Firefox/Chrome don't seem to be working right. There's more integration with my Microsoft account so I can get notifications directly about incoming emails and I can handle my Xbox account from my PC. OneNote is directly built in, which is loving awesome. The fact I can directly go to the Programs & Features/Admin Tools/Command Prompt just by right-clicking the Start Menu button has been a massive time saver. While I haven't personally used them yet, I do think that Cortana and the Tablet Mode are great features to have access to.
Windows XP is a security nightmare and is running off some ANCIENT kernel code. Windows Vista and 7 attempted to clean the mess, but they're practically bronze-age given the fundamental upgrades introduced in Windows 8 and 10. With each new iteration, Microsoft is removing clutter and adding productivity features. You might like doing things the slow and painful way, but I personally want to optimise and make my day-to-day PC operations as quick as loving possible so I can get to doing what I really want to do.
You are an intellectual stain with no evidence to support your assertions that Windows 8 or early are in any way "superior" simply because they weren't marketed via some shady tactics you didn't like.
As anecdotal faffing about, in the systems I've helped upgraded I've seen better performance on Windows 10 due to bunch of simplified and removed services. On some machines people are experiencing issues, but it's often coming down to people using outdated hardware and expecting Microsoft to clean up their garbage. No, Windows 10 will not run smooth on your 2003 mid-tier business Dell that your parents handed you down.
