I just checked his about me video -- link[^]. About 1:33 minutes into it, after he talks about how he's been around so many famous people despite you never seeing them together in the footage, he clearly photoshopped himself in that scene with Gary Busey.

You named He That Should Not Be Named! 
Let's hope that the summoning does not happen. I don't miss his rantings at all.

No reply?
Silence on the wire.
Maybe you've figured out how to silence him. I suggest you just post that same message on every one of his posts and he'll soon stop.

If he keeps going at the rate he has been, I'm inclined to start flagging the messages as spam. 
Particularly as most of them seem to be YouTube videos wrapped in his own site, so he can display his own ads around them.

Yep, I said it out loud. I like Windows 8.1.
I develop on it and it works great for me so why would I even care about Windows 10?
Seriously, are there any benefits?
Mostly what it sounds like I get is MORE INTRUSION from MICROSOFT.
Anyone? Anyone?

The true question is what compelled you to upgrade to Win 8.x...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Bought a new computer. Compelled by Microsoft.
I guess that's the deal here too.
But, honestly, all the whining from people about 8.1 was unnecessary. Maybe Windows 8.0 whining was okay, I don't know.
|
|
|
|
|
And you do no want to compelle a second time...
But seriously - 8.1 was a good fix fo 8, which was terrible...
Windows 10 is even better fix for 8...But if it works for you, do not upgrade...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Have to agree 8.0 was a pile of steaming ... 8.1 fixed the really bad bits to make it usable.
I may have to hang my head in shame, but I quite like 8.1

No shame there - you have all the right to like what you like and do what you do. Do not hurt others...

Don't feel bad, I agree with you. 8.1 is solid, there's really nothing wrong with it.
|
|
|
|
|
I also really like Windows 8 and am wondering if there is any good reason to upgrade...

I'll offer a non-hater answer;
There's nothing wrong with 10 at all. Windows 8-8.1 was the major revamp to Windows, for better performance, security, awesome features like drive-pooling, Client-side Hyper-V etc.
Windows 10 is "mostly" a UI revamp, you get all the benefits of 8.1 plus a swishy new UI.
EG, even though there was nothing bad about the windows 8 startmenu (Yes I said it, I'm not a mindless hater drone, I see it's value), they did actually improve it by not having it fullscreen anymore, and integrated Cortana, which offers serious value btw.
There is also Virtual Desktops similar to what's existed in Linux for a long time. You can literally have multiple desktops, and switch between them with a key combination.
There is also new apps that are incredibly useful. I use the new XBOX App, it allows me to connect to my Xbox One downstairs and play games directly on my PC monitor. I'm almost always on my PC doing something so I don't really get to play my Xbox much. It's awesome doing the usual PC chores on one monitor, and have Halo or Peggle 2 on the other
There's also the new MS Edge browser. It's brand new and has nothing to do with IE. There is a huge performance difference compared to chrome and FF, and it takes much less battery compared to those two browsers as well on a tablet or laptop.
Finally, there's no driver issues at this time in win10. Even if you had hardware from a crappy vendor that didn't make their win10 drivers; It doesn't matter as every windows 8.1 driver is fully compatible with 10.

I do not hate! Windows 8.x. I just think it was a bad move - and Windows 10 is only an upgrade for that (means removes some wrongly forced features)...
All I say, that there is nothing in Windows 8.x or 10 that justifies an upgrade (not to say 3 version numbers)...

Except of course the rendering and JavaSCript engine...Those are not more than forks and updates of Trident and Chakra...

I've realised that the one "good", one "bad", version of windows is actually quite a smart little marketing ploy by Microsoft. Fair enough the 8.0 was bad and needed 8.1, but I think that
We all know lots of people hate change.
So when MS need to move the tech behind windows on, it's always going to meet with a lot of resistance, be that founded, or as usual totally unfounded. Now what do MS do, the roll out a new version that takes the tech (and UI) changes to the extreme, the vocal change haters jump up and down and declare it the worst move ever. Shortly after, out come the next "all new" version of Windows, which is pretty much the same tech everyone hated, but with the changes reigned in a little, and now everyone loves it.
Voilà, MS gets their tech upgrad out, and most people are happy with it.

Totally right...The only problem lately is that people have the choice...so if Microsoft pushes too far it can lose a lot...Users may convert to other OS or stay with the still working previous version...In both cases Microsoft lose all the money invested into a product no-one wants...

I don't like tiles with a Desktop OS. Hence, I loathe with passion, Windows 8.1. I think Windows 10 gives you the ability to opt out of the Tiles UI - I could be wrong on this.
