i remember their shoes being semi-popular once upon a time, but didnt think theyd be as everywhere as they are now (in advertising).

they probably have a film crew and gear and it funds itself through advertising/youtube/social media/promoting tourism etc.

And what if you replace the hardware of your computer? What do you do then?

not sure, I'm assuming you'll either need to install 8.1 with the key you have first and go through it all again if it still works or call them and tell them you changed hardware

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I'm guessing they are owned by whoever owns monster and there are deals.

Also very big brand in snow board wear. (Big market OS)

Still waiting for my windows 10 notification. It still looks like windows 8 from what I've seen though? Not a fan of 8 at all

[UNR33L]

nah it's more like windows 7 than 8 IMO, enterprise editions can't upgrade either - you can download the upgrade from Microsoft website if you don't have the notification, that's what I did.

Windows 7 is great.

We upgraded from XP last year and now my computer only crashes 3-4 times a day

Looks more like older windows to me, keeping some 8 elements

Also hate 8

Make a desktop look like a tablet screen; a device that compromises view because of the lack of a mouse - real clever

Honestly windows peaked at 95

XP was a slight improvement

Everything after was an exercise in demonstrating their ability to suck cock and produce a shitty operating system

Windows 98 SE (second Edition)

that was the most stable and easy to use one of the lot.

[PENGUYEN]

Dos is best

if i recall correctly, no because it was old works enterprise key and enterprise editions cant upgrade but worth checking out when you get home

With what key, quote the Win7/Win8 key?

Seems a bit odd. Prob could find out if I google for three seconds.

Re: Windows

Windows 10 is to Windows 8, what Windows 7 was to Windows Vista.

I.e exactly the same, but people mysteriously like it for no reason.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Vista started off on the wrong foot taking 200 years to boot each time

That could be a coincidence or it could be that each one is a refined version of the previous one based on market feedback

Also, would I be right in guessing you ran Vista at some stage? It sounds like a Greg thing to do; run an operating system that crashes for no reason

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Lol

+1 for reference

But in all seriousness, did run WinME, Windows Vista and never had any issues with any of them, they've all been solid for me, as was Win8/8.1

I suspect it's not so much the product, but the time it takes for it to be gradually accepted, as any IT person will tell you, people hate change, even if it's actually a positive change.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

He probably dropped his computer off at a computer store to get Vista installed and it just sat there for 3 years until the shop closed down, then spent another 2 years at a different shop before he even got to crash it for himself

One of the older managers at work has One (Metallica) as his ringtone - thought this was cool and inter-generational until I realised I'm just f**king old myself
