Does This Bother Anybody Else?

Linux just keeps getting better, and IMO, is fast becoming a real threat to microsoft.

Yep. Linux is "there" now. No need to wait any longer. It is superior to Windows.

Well,.. I do go through computers quite a bit. I need a new one every couple of years,.. but I also like my internet security.

I'm curious, what do you do with them or to them that you need a new one every couple of years?

And a long wait it was.

Not sure.

I am on Windows 8.1 and love it now. I figured out that when I reinstalled 8, it was just 8. Not 8.1. 8.1 is basically windows 10 slimmed down

I have no problems with Win10. It works flawless for me and I like it very much; it learns how I want to do things; and customizes programs without me having to do anything.

Mnorian,
I upgraded to Windows 10 32 bit yesterday. It is quick, fast, and efficiant. Not like the X64 bit of 10. That one is slow as all get out. 32 bit Windows 10 is awesome!

Sorn,
Believe it or not, most computers are prebuilt to last only 1-3 years before you need a new one.

32 bit Win 10 needs 16 GB OF RAM to work properly.

It only bothers me when I have to boot into or use Windows 10. I use Linux for most of what I do.

32 bit Win 10 needs 16 GB OF RAM to work properly.

A 32 bit system can not access more than 3.2Gb of RAM.
You need a 64 bit system to use more than 4Gb.

That certainly hasn't been my experience and I'm a software developer.

Of course I meant 64 bit.

 

[JesseRaymondBassett]

Yeah I am using 32 bit Windows 10 on 2gb of RAM. It is working perfectly!
