Alexander Orlov Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Has anyone used windows 10 yet? If so what do you think of it? Myself I'm using it as my main OS in the office and at home and not found any problems @ all with it. brianlv3 1 Quote
Paul Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 Nope. Windows 8 sucks, so I'm guessing it's pretty good. XP - Good, Vista - BAD, Windows 7 - Good, Windows 8 - BAD, Windows 10? When is the official release expected? Michael 1 Quote
Austin Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 I'm not currently using it, but I hope it's an improvement over Windows 8 because it drives me nuts. Quote
Alexander Orlov Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Posted April 30, 2015 I think its this summer Quote
ModulesBakery Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 I used the developer preview, and what i would say is i hate windows and thank god i don't use it anymore lol Michael 1 Quote
AlexR Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 I installed it a while ago and reverted back shortly after. Very recently installed it again and have to say, I'm rather liking it. A lot more than the previous Windows. I'm having some issues mainly related to getting updates but other than that, it seems pretty smooth. Nope. Windows 8 sucks, so I'm guessing it's pretty good. XP - Good, Vista - BAD, Windows 7 - Good, Windows 8 - BAD, Windows 10? When is the official release expected? IIRC they're hoping to get things stable by the end of July. Windows 7 and 8/8.1 users will get a free upgrade to Windows 10 during the first year of Win 10's release. I'm not currently using it, but I hope it's an improvement over Windows 8 because it drives me nuts. It has improved a lot . Quote
Alexander Orlov Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Posted April 30, 2015 I agree as lot as changed its getting smoother defo on my intel pc amd as a its moments just awaiting for WP10 to come to the 930 then I will give it ago Quote
Paul Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 I used the developer preview, and what i would say is i hate windows and thank god i don't use it anymore lol What do you use? I haven't been a fan of Windows in a decade, but I use it because I have to. I have Windows, Linux, and OSX on my desk every day, and I use them all, each for different purposes. Quote
Alexander Orlov Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Posted May 1, 2015 I use a mixture of OS myself mainly windows and Linux depending on my customers but do have a few managed servers just saves me time and not good at managing web servers. Quote
WebHostCentral UK - Dean Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 I am like Paul, I use different OS's for different purposes however, I was a big fan of XP back in the day Vista... lets not go there 7 - Redeemed themselves 8.. waste of time 8.1 better but still not XP/7 standard 10.. I use windows 10 of a daily basis, From what i have seen it is going to be a fantastic release and prob the best OS they have ever released. It looks like they have taken all the good things from xp/7/8.1 and combined to make an awesome OS Obviously this is still in development and a lot can still change but i am very impressed so far.. You got to expect some bugs etc I like the fact that it will be Free for the first year and it will encourage consumers to upgrade. From what i hear they hope to have it polished off by middle of September Cortana is going to be a very welcome addition to windows Quote
Tyson Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 I will upgrade from win7 if I can get < 2 BSODs/day. Paul 1 Quote
ModulesBakery Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 What do you use? I haven't been a fan of Windows in a decade, but I use it because I have to. I have Windows, Linux, and OSX on my desk every day, and I use them all, each for different purposes. I use OSX on an iMac and Linux Elementary OS on a Dell Laptop. One thing is a con for me in the OSX, which is that its Microsoft Office version does not support Arabic Language, while the Windows version supports it, however, there are some alternatives for it.

L3Y Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Krosoft lost me a long time ago I tried Windows 8 for a couple of days. I won't bother trying the next version Quote

serge Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 I Found linux desktop distro are more easy to use than Microsoft ModulesBakery 1 Quote
Daniel B Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 I Found linux desktop distro are more easy to use than Microsoft If only they didn't have compatability issues with a few of the programs and games I use, I'd run linux all the time.../sad Quote
serge Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 I switched 6 years ago, I even do not need a microsoft computer, all is now using linux, but I'm not a gamer, just business & computer network, coding ;-) If all people move to linux, I suspect we will get virus, as the scamer-mafia that created big software (they spend millions) to hack your bank account or known what you type as password, are all made for microsoft untill now. It's crazy by today there are banks not having second key factor (moving second key), when login at online bank. In EU all banks do have it since many years, in Belgium it's since more than 10-15 years, but I discovered than in US, Bank of America do not have it, so if you are a microsoft user & at Bank of America it's like you have a label on you, "PLEASE STOLE ME" Quote

Most american banks do not offer true 2FA. They like to ask "Security Questions", where it's easy for an attacker to find all the answers on your Facebook account. I think that's how attackers stole over 100k peoples information from the IRS - http://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/05/irs-crooks-stole-data-on-100k-taxpayers-via-get-transcript-feature/ serge and PauloV 2 Quote
Daniel B Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 Security Questions and Chipless Debit/Credit cards...while I love living in America...I sure wish we would catch up with the rest of the world on Security... Quote
PauloV Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 Windows 8 pro and love it I'm not a fan of closed systems like windows but in windows I have several software licenses that I use daily, in the other hand I have in my Hyper V almost all OS (Maverick,CentOS,Windows XP) for Dev proposes I already pre request a windows 10 upgrade because it will be for free to all Windows 8.1 users like me Love new things/toys eheh Quote

Login with your blood! haha I would like to see something better than passwords coming. ...but it's always a new "second factor" method. It never really change the problem : passwords. Quote
Tyson Posted May 29, 2015 Report Posted May 29, 2015 Just do better : add DNA login to Blesta. Login with your blood! haha I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic, but using DNA as a password would be a hacker's dream come true. You shed DNA all over the place (hair, skin, spit, etc.) and it would be trivial for anyone to get ahold of it. The general "rule" is that if something uniquely identifies you, it could be a username, but not a password. Paul and PauloV 2 Quote

It never really change the problem : passwords. I think you missunderstood how it's work (since about more than one decade for 99% EU banks), by using a second factor, it's mean you have added a new layer of security to the user/password, as just after using that most common second factor, is you need to type a "moving key", so if your user/password couple is stolen (by viral software that know what websites you are connected with, what user/password you used), it's will be stopped to re-use it by the moving key they can not know as it's change every time.The "moving key" depending of method, can come by :- SMSOR- Email (better that SMS, because if you travel, depending of countries, you will not get your SMS)Or you have a little "digipass", it's like a micro-device that display new key every x mins but synchronized with the bank system or with, or otheretc.Off course there are many other methods, but these above are some of the most common Alex - A2Hosting 1 Quote
