If Windows is Updated, Only Windows Users Will Have Updated Windows

No, in fact I mean "7 was the last".

Turn off suggestions, and remove the starting tiles.
I don't know why I'm not having all these problems.

What tiles ? KDE doesn't have tiles

I'm not having those problems either.
Maybe because I'm not on Windows

People keep saying that they have this "desktop" thing...I don't understand, why doesn't everyone just use a tablet?

That's what my desktop sits on

o, but the shortcut is for OSX and works with the OSX RDP client in full screen?
Confirmed just now, it works flawlessly even without using a touch pad. ;)

Most people (46.05%) were negative.
I'm sure this has been pointed out somewhere downthread1 that I haven't gotten to yet, but so far people have been talking around this. 46% is not "most." >50% is "most." 46% is a substantial plurality in this case, and more than double the number of positive responses, but it is not "most."

1 ETA: Yup, only 2 or 3 posts further.

If you were to take a political party and its followers in a vacuum. You'd find after a
while, that party would split and you'd have the same resultsshort time, they're all dead.
This would not necessarily be a bad thing, especially if s/follow/lead/.

Microsoft will charge for help with the software
Who here has ever received any useful technical support from MS? I tried, once. Utter waste of time. Google works better.

It depends on the definition that you use...
-
they have learned a process by rote instead of the principles behind the process
If you can show me any training program for IT users (as opposed to programmers) that teaches principles over rote processes, I will be astounded.
I spend a lot of time helping people understand that copying files from one place to another doesn't necessarily involve double-clicking them and then using Save As.
The number of people who have never even had files and folders explained to them is also quite alarming.
Filed under: Where did you save that? "In Word."
-

Yes, I did go on to read the rest of the thread. Obviously, I was using the "majority" definition, as I clearly specified the definition I was using, and contrasted it with "plurality." Unfortunately, "most" is ambiguous in English, and would, perhaps, be better avoided unless the context is unambiguous (i.e., there is a majority, not merely a plurality), but this is probably a minority opinion.
-
but this is probably a minority opinion.
You threw that in there just to appease your pendantry didn't you?
-
Actually, I threw it in there mostly in the hope that someone would find it amusing, but if you want to blame it on pendantry, I won't argue with you.
-
I found it amusing, FWIW.
-
Me, too. But be careful throwing words like "minority" around. You might get referred to the microagression thread. <yes, deliberately misspelled just like the topic title!

If only @ben_lubar were here to clear up the difference between what you wrote and what I wrote in logjam.
And to pointlessly fix the ambiguity in my previous sentence.

I don't know. There's also plenty of macroagression to go around here. :)

Only because all threads are simply branches of the likes thread.

Microaggressions include, denying microaggressions and the worst infringement here, assuming that this forum is a meritocracy and thus not every thread is a microaggression.

Microaggressions include
But I'm talking about microagressions. Stop aggressing me like that.
-
Oh, macroaggressions (offending the majority) is not possible. -ism's require power. And your always speaking from a position of power, because of the color of your avatar.

A woman would probably declare that it's "beaver".

Pasty brown.
You're appropriating brown culture, btw. That's racist.

Brown?
Adding a man's hat, sunglasses and mustache to a picture of an old, ugly, bald woman surely must be microaggessing somebody.

I find that the TechNet forums are always 120% helpful and the people providing the answers always know exactly what they're talking about.
-
?

Right. But that's not paid support, and it doesn't go away at product end-of-life. You can still get answers for XP problems over there.
Plus, even allowing obvious troll to be obvious, you're actually more likely to get useful help out of TechNet than by paying MS for support.

-
Yes. The rest of the forum denizens.
Hmmm...I didn't mean to be so subtle as to be microaggressing. I'll have to step it up. I considered upgrading to Win 10 this weekend but I just can't come up with a good reason to waste time on that right now.

But, but, but...you can shave 10 seconds off of your boot time. It takes a few hours to upgrade, so after 1,080 boots you are saving time. Do we have to spoon feed you?
-
A friend of mine can get me Windows 7, so not worried that I can mostly only buy Windows 10 laptops these days. Checked drivers and quite a few brands are okay to ride out until Windows 7 EOLs, at which point I'll have to consider opening my asshole wide for Windows 10's intrusiveness.

My dad upgraded to Windows 10 and the first thing he needed help with was closing the Settings app. Apparently his ability to click on
 ×Â
buttons vanished overnight.Last night, he insisted on backing up some data, which he did by copying the files to his desktop.
-

Bullshit. My Windows boot time for the last month or so has been zero seconds.

Trying to drop a few lbs, so please do not tempt me.

My dad...
Totally sounds like the inspiration for Dilbert giving PHB an Etch-a-Sketch.

Sorry, but can't believe that this claim is accurate, even if you are booting off of an SSD and are only counting the time from when the firmware finishes initializing to when the Windows screen shows. It just makes no fucking sense. On the fastest systems I've seen it takes longer than 5 seconds to load a hibernated system image, never mind to boot a fresh system, regardless of the OS.
Unless you are saying you haven't been rebooting at all in the past month, but since the Windows 10 update release is less than a month ago I rather doubt that. Or are you only using Windows on a tablet now? No, even those would take time to load the system, so you can't possibly be telling the truth - it takes more than five seconds for a goddamn smartphone to turn on, I can't see how a PC could be faster.

Orrrr, he is saying he has not booted Windows...

Orrrr, he is saying he has not booted Windows...
Yes, well, I mentioned that possibility, but unless he is skipping the update (or hasn't gotten the notification for his eligibility yet), he would have had to reboot sometime after 9 August right?
OK, maybe he isn't running Windows at all, I suppose. I can relate to that, as while I do use Windows occasionally for various things (and never got around to re-arranging my system to start off with a hypervisor, gotta get around to that eventually), I spend most of my time in Linux, and most Mac users I know avoid Windows like it was a bottle of nitroglycerin.
-

There ya go. I knew you would get there eventually.

Wouldn't that mean that the boot time is undefined? 
