Category: Windows 10 (Page 9 of 11)
Hey there you guys. How are you keeping? I hope you are doing good!
I have an update to report!
And it’s regarding Windows 10!
I will be posting a special coverage about Windows 10 until the release date. Then some hands on reviews..
I know it’s super late. And I admit that I only open Windows to defrag every Wednesday and to backup my Android phone 😛
And due to very slowInternet I couldn’t update my system for about a month or so. I managed to update it recently. And that’s where I came across this beauty! (This icon is legit! Not a virus or whatever!).
My heart was racing! I know I had nothing nice to say about Windows 10. But getting it for free was worth the excitement I had! After all Windows hold nearly 90% of the personal computer market share and Windows 10 is supposed to be that 90% !!
When I clicked the white icon this is what popped up!
From here I was supposed to “Reserve” my license for the time to install. Meaning that 3 Gigabytes will be downloaded from the Internet to my device for the upgrade to complete. ( Will be breaking this pop-up in detail in following posts!)
I felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on me! With such poor Internet and often power cuts, how am I supposed to download the update? It took me 2 days to download the 8.1 upgrade!!
That’s for me to figure out and for you to find out later. As the update is supposed to install on the release date of Windows 10.
Did you get this icon / pop-up? If you did let me know in the comments section below.
And if you didn’t, don’t be frustrated! Just wait for my next post 😉
Have a nice day!!
It’s official! the wait is over!!
Microsoft has announced on it’s official website the release date for it’s next operating system Windows 10 .
Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 is coming on the 29th of July 2015 . click on the date to see the statement!
Microsoft has released a statement on it’s official website with a promotional video highlighting all the features of Windows 10. The video is inside the page.
Microsoft also stated that if you wanted to get the update for free you need to Buy a qualified new PC. So hurry up to make use of that special sale.
Are you excited hearing about Windows 10? Are you planning to upgrade or do you want to buy a license?
Let me know what you have in mind in the comments section below 🙂
Today. After reading the Windows 10 update plans. I tried to put everything in perspective. And I realized something! I was blessed that I got to use and enjoy Linux! Linux is the true definition of freedom. It’s not owned by some company that controls it. It’s a community of people. You and I included!
Before I go any further on why I like Linux better. Let’s take a look at the competition. Shall we?
I’m a simple guy who wanted genuine software. So I bought Windows 8 (yay). And when the Upgrade to 8.1 was out. I updated to it.
It was awful. It’s filled with problems. But what can I do? It’s the latest craze! Even if I wanted Windows 7, I couldn’t get it. I won’t buy an OEM laptop with 7 installed just to relive the past!!
I couldn’t downgrade to Windows 7. Or use Windows XP after they ended the support. And no one would use Vista (at least when they are sober!)
I’m using Windows 8.1 because I had no choice. My back is against the wall.
Everyday I got a blue screen of death telling me to search the internet for one thing or the other! And some of it didn’t make any sense!! (An iPod related error and I don’t even own an iPod)!!!
I was so upset!! The system is Flawed and there is nothing I could do but to wait for the next update. We were told at the time it would be Windows 9.
Which means paying for Microsoft to fix a mistake they made!! Seriously?
Then came the savior, or so we were told. Windows 10. Which is supposed to carry us into the future. Sounds too much like Windows XP to me!
And if you see my last post about how original is Windows 10. You will see what I’m talking about!
Not a single word about Linux yet huh?
When I say that Linux is free. I don’t mean that it doesn’t cost money. I mean it’s absolutely free by all the meaning.
You are free to use, share, edit, sell. Try doing that with a Windows product!!
Use whatever Distro you like. Customize it the way you like. And use it for whatever you like. If you want you can donate. If you don’t want or can’t. Then it’s OK.
You’ve got many interfaces to choose from and hundreds of Distros to choose from. That’s free!!
You can use it in your home. In your school, for your business. Without restrictions. You can even make copies of it and sell it and no one would stop you.
While Microsoft attacked and condemned Linux with childish name calling, referring to it as a cancer. And who can forget the vigorous campaigns that Microsoft lead to destroy OpenOffice’s reputation as an alternativeto Microsoft Office?
Linux is more open minded and excepting. Notice that most users (if not all are Windows / Mac converts). And they are
I’m not going to talk about Mac at all. If you have one. May God help you!
My advice: Take this opportunity and think before Microsoft starts the exodus towards Windows 10. I’m I really free?
Do I have a choice? Can I simply refuse being controlled by Microsoft or Apple?
I hope this article gives you that perspective. Life is too short to spend on one OS or dealing with one company. Explore the world ofopen source. What’s there to lose?
Thanks for reading. Have a nice day 🙂
