apparently it'll no longer be a standard loaded game, you'll still be able to get it free, but you'll be riddled with ads for it until you pay up to get rid of them per year, they call the ad removal a "premium" edition. They also are forcing all updates, good or bad on you if you upgrade to w10. Another thing I"m not too thrilled with, because updates can break things really easily and the way they want to do it would make it so not only would you not be able to refuse a bad update, but if you would somehow be able to hide it, you'd not be able to get future security updates that were good period unless installed(and even then I'm not sure if you bypass some time limit they owuldn't still refuse the update)

Granted I saw most of the cons and such off twitter from a forbes article that acted like forced updates wasn't a deal breaker, but I think that individual didn't consider how many non business users can have the same issues a business can have with updates.

I hid the update that kept spamming me about upgrading XD, after they started that spamming update, it made me even less willing to upgrade.

how'd you do that? inquiring minds want to know...lol!

also...just made in a last second cs banner/field score before 6...wewt! glad i was able to be online during my lunch :P guess that means i have to go back to focusing on this event....blech. I've kinda lost interest in it *shrugs*

Looked up an article that said what update it was, uninstalled the update, told updates to look for updates, when that update repopped up to install(you can do this even before you restart your computer) and right click, hide update. That easy.

Yeah, it's not that hard, why they refer to it as a hack i have no idea because it's a legitimate windows method of dealing with updates done by the OS itself. (some are calling it a hack on some articles, and tbh it irritates me because it's not, if it's something the OS itself allows with that much ease, it's a built in feature, not a hack)

Ugh. All that, on top of their new browser and other programs all wanting to send my info to Microsoft so that they can "help me browse", really makes me glad that I'm going back to Windows 8.

I can't blame them for reinstalling w8(though I use 7 myself) I've never been one to upgrade my OS to the newest thing until I absolutely had to(which is why I still am on 7) The fact you can still make customs with 7 also helps XD.
