    Thanks for the post.
    Sounds like Microsoft's way of saying Ho, Ho, Ho to those that didn't want 10:weep:

    Usual misleading click-bait crap from softpedia

    GWX upgrade belongs to Windows 7 forum

    Exactly..... I would not touch their garbage with a long pole.

    The problem, my dear MS crooks, is not that you went too far. The problem is, that you actually get together, to come up with something like that, because you believe it will make your company some money! Because its owners are sooooo poor and urgently need some income.

    And now you are telling us that idea was actually quite brilliant, "you just went too far"?

    (I wrote some more, but scrapped it, because the censor would have been right not to allow it. God that company p.... me off!)

    Yup. But you have to consider the source. Their Chief of marketing. (i.e. The head of the bullschitt department)

    Now if they'll admit they went too far by removing group policy and registry options from windows 10 pro, and then reinstate those options, that would be news.

    I always install updates as fast as I can. I never understood why people were so timid about them. I say Bring 'Em On!

    i heartily disagree with your remark.
    my w7 is running flawlessly since the beginning of june 2016.
    i turned off windose update about that time because i decided not to trust nadella on his pair of blue eyes.
    [free windows?? timeo danaos et dona ferentes!]
    turns out i was too late. m$ had managed to slip in telemetry since the end of may.so i had some cleaning up
    to do. i will not let my pc connect to m$ servers at all.it phones home anyway, i know,but that can`t be helped
    i guess. i reckon that where xp can survive for a decade without major issues, so will w7. funny thing;
    when some sneaky piece of software `repaired` the system and turned win update back on, it had over 500 updates
    waiting for me.needless to say, i turned it off again. life is short.i have no need of 500 pieces of m$ crap.
    the only reason that my pc is still running w7 instead of linux is that i find it more comfy than linux to get
    things done. m$ can`t be trusted.

    Not only that, but it also doesn't fix the things that need fixing, like giving the File Explorer the ability to show folder size and making the Photos app support animation.

    this is the corporate reach around. "oh yeah, we are sorry blahblahblah" while sticking it up your fundamental in other ways. :mad:

    What, you say you want more telemetry and less ways to turn it off? We at Microsoft agree, thank you for your feedback and being a part of making Windows 10 great! :p

    Who mentioned telemetry? Too much Christmas spirit it seems, of the liquid variety (joking, no offense ;) ). Wanting proper functionality is not the same as telemetry. If it were, and we didn't want telemetry, we'd go back to Windows 1.0.

    Actually, now that I see my post again, there is an error. The Photos app does support animation, it's GIF transparency that it doesn't and should. (Animation was not supported by the previous Windows Photo Viewer, yet many people want to go back to it because the new app doesn't do a proper job, not because of telemetry, as far as I know).

    did you mean make windows great again, without the version number, or have you consulted some member here who is on redmonds`paylist? [ no offence, as katz said.] ;)

    Actually, though I mentioned it, I never used it, nor do I know much about it, I googled for the oldest version of Windows and that came up. And I assumed it had reduced functionality and telemetry. :D

    reduced, you say? it was bulletproof,telemetry-wise; you booted into msdos3, included the path in autoexec.bat, and it had no way of calling home, modems were way off
    in the future,isp`s too.. in fact i made a batchfile to change from the drive a:\ that held msdos, and command.com, to drive B:\ , i had no harddisk then. saved typing;
    i hate to press the shift key, mb you noticed.;)
