Azazel_The_Fallen Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I always play solitaire with actual cards in a dark room lit by a single candle. It adds to the feeling of loneliness I get when I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Artarrwen Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Buying a pack of cards is actually cheaper than that, might as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACorpse Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 To be honest, I expect the unexpected from Microsoft these days. I ain't touching Win10 until at *least* 3-6 months from now, when all these little weird things have been found and fixed by 3rd party workarounds.

Dead10ck Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Buying a pack of cards is actually cheaper than that, might as well. The game itself is fully functional without purchase, you just have to endure the ads unless you know how to get rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACorpse Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I just threw Win10 onto a VM to have a look. It's still as bipolar as Win8 was; half the settings are in control panel, half in a metro-style settings dialog. All sorts of BS stuff is on by default like error reporting. It has a per-user advertising ID built in and shared with apps (including browser) by default, so it's like a permanent cookie that if you don't know to disable it, it will haunt you. The colour options are horribly restricted (though not as bad as Office 2013 where you only get 3 shades of grey). You can't individually pick title bar/selected items etc colours. It tries to do some horrible derived colour from your background image but if you don't like that all you can do is turn it off. Pastels for Africa. I'm sure someone will knock up a proper colour picker app soon enough though. The start menu, well... At least Classic Shell has a Win10 version. 'nuff said.

[DE]Artarrwen Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Pretty sure that's the same as windows 8. That one was optional. In win10 it comes pre-bundled with the os. The game itself is fully functional without purchase, you just have to endure the ads unless you know how to get rid of them. Oh but do you think they'll stop there?

Dead10ck Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Oh but do you think they'll stop there? Nope. When things get too bad and regedit can't save me I'm switching to Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris9428 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I forgot to reserve w10, but after all the **** I've seen about it so far, I'll definitely not get it. w7 has everything I'll ever need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
