Thank you Microsoft

Thank you Microsoft for the Windows 10 April Update! Took ages to install, laptop now boots up even slower and thanks for removing 'homegroup' which was an easy shortcut for me to quickly connect to Linux servers...now I have to map to them and had to go into services settings to get a small degree of functionality back!

Similar experience here. Had to do a shitload of Googling to find how to mend the settings it had ****ed up.

Lots of unhappy bunnies out here sharing their woes.

Just say 'fuck it' and get a Mac! It's not called Windoze for nothing

I use Linux on everything thing else but unfortunately there are some programs which run on windows that I would miss and despite the above it's still easier for samba shares

I've made a point of sticking with W7. When (if) that eventually becomes unusable I'll go to Linux.

Just unbelievable what these so called genius experts can do to us on the back of what is supposed to be an improvement.

How many times have these updates (more like upsets!) caused instability and proper inconvenience.

My very new at the time Lenovo All in One PC literally ground to a halt after I reluctantly installed Windows 10, after constant bombardment by Microsoft to do so.

Was the biggest relief ever when i finally managed to get it off and stay Windows 8.1.

Regardless and all said and done. The PC went back to running perfectly smooth and hasn't missed a beat in the years since and thats all that matters to me and the household as far as we're concerned.

I moved to Apple several years back. You cant do everything that can be done on a Windows PC, but for what I use a computer for these days I can do everything I need to. Yes they are more expensive but the modern Macs keep current for years, unlike the older ones that tended to become obsolete a bit too quick. Also by the time you find a PC with the same build quality and same performance screen, your not paying too much more anyway IMO.

Ain't that the truth, bro! Switching to a Mac was one of the best things I've done. Once you get used to the operating system, which in reality is piss-easy and much more intuitive than that of a PC, there's no going back to an inferior (in so many ways) Windoze machine.
