not updating to windows 10 (but using win7 instead of unix) is totally useless. but well, a lot of people are clueless anyway. If you are up to date, you're a lot less likely to be vulnerable. Auto updates ARE A GOOD THING (!!), because people having vulnerable outdated OS are the cause of most of "virus/trojan" problems. Personally, I use LTSC as it's the closest thing there is to Windows 7 and allows you to have control back over things like updating, but it's hardly a ringing endorsement of Windows 10 to say that the best version is the one that's as close as possible to a decade-old OS.You can disable all of this and in case you didnt know, there is already some telemetry in Windows 7 too. Whilst there are improvements in Windows 10, there's also a whole bunch of undesirable crap that people don't want, such as the forced updates and telemetry out the ass. I don’t even dual-boot anymore.It isn't about money. Microsoft finally pushed me off of the Windows platform for good with this stunt and GWX. (I do regret not starting refusing to do this sooner.) I was still foolish enough to do volunteer work on other peoples’ Windows computers at that time, even after what Microsoft did to me as a fan of the first Halo game. Others were probably playing Counter-strike Source and TF2. So I went and played other games, like Tremulous and Urban terror, games that ran on Windows, Mac and Linux, and I forgot all about Halo 2 for the PC. On these machines, a vista upgrade would have been a performance downgrade. It just wasn’t a compelling deal!Īlso worth noting that many systems that would have otherwise run Halo 2 were hardware-limited to only 1 or perhaps 2GB of memory. Being smarter than to pay $200 for an unnecessary OS upgrade, only to then wind up needing an accompanying memory upgrade too because Vista ran poorly in 1 GB, (which was blissful on XP), just to play an at the time 3 year old game which was originally designed for a six year old piece of hardware, (Xbox) I passed. Many of us were really looking forward to the PC version.
