Are you upgrading from 7 or 8?

If 7, feel free to wait for more reviews. I've only just skimmed the very surface, so I can't give a thorough review yet, and 7 is great.
If from 8, upgrading later this week is probably a good plan. Fuck 8 lol

10 feels like an upgrade from 7, XP, etc, with some very cool new features. It feels like what 8 should've been.

I am upgrading from 7. I've also heard from friends that it is pretty good, with little to no bugs. I've been thinking that since I'll be getting it in the long run, it won't hurt to go ahead and get it. Plus I think it looks pretty cool lol.

Very early impressions:

Windows 10 is awesome. Looks and feels very crisp. Boots, restarts, and runs very fast. (Note: I have it installed on a SSD, and it boots in about 3 seconds, though I've heard it's very fast regardless.)

Setting up Windows 10 was extremely user-friendly and even pleasant, this was one of the [only] things that Windows 8 did really well, and it's good to see they kept it.

All the hilariously overblown outrage over Microsoft collecting your data is incredibly dumb. Right when you set up Windows 10 it explains the data that is collected and why, and allows you to enable/disable every single thing you can send to Microsoft, all the way down to basic error reports. This actually makes Windows 10 the most honest and user-friendly OS I've ever used when it comes to data collection. I turned most of it off, but there are legitimate things to keep on.

The proper desktop and start menu are back! The start menu is excellent, and combines some of the positive aspects of the technology from Windows 8 without forcing it on you as a whole separate screen (though if you're one of the 4 people who liked Windows 8's bizarre split personality, you can choose to have a fullscreen start menu, which is sorfof like Windows 8's start button). The task bar behaves like windows 7, and you can customize it as per usual. It now comes with a built-in search bar right beside the start button that searches both your PC and the internet, which is incredibly handy and one of my favourite features - incredibly utilitarian and modern.

The lock screen, should you choose to use one, by default features a new picture every day, which is a nice little touch, though you can of course make it anything you want. It shows the time, the date, the battery if you're using one, and whether you're connected to wifi. You can customize it if you want to use a password, a pin, or a picture to sign in. You can also customize it by showing info on any program you want right on the lock screen, which is awesome and also incredibly modern.

Unlike many Apple devices there is a proper task manager that Windows users know and love, and like Windows 7 and many handheld devices there is also task viewer (where all the open programs are shown side by side, and are selectable) - in other words, the basic tools that make Windows a powerful OS are back and working well.

I don't know about games yet, but articles I've read have said there are very few compatibility errors, which is impressive considering how new Windows 10 is.

As a bonus, Microsoft Edge, the new internet browser, so far seems quite good. It has an awesome note-taking feature where you can take notes right on a webpage at any time, whether by typing, highlighting, or writing like a pen. You can also take screen clippings at any time and paste them anywhere you want. Very handy browser, but I haven't used it much to give a thorough review. I will likely use it alongside Chrome. I like Microsoft's commitment to privacy so I hope I can avoid untrustworthy Google and switch to Edge, but time will tell if it's superior.


Conclusion:
These are just early impressions, my opinion will change and I'll post my updated thoughts as I use Windows 10 more.
So far it seems like a very utilitarian, user-friendly, SANE mix of all the things that make Windows great, as well as tossing aside the crap from Windows 8 and instead taking the good aspects of it and using them to make Windows 10 better rather than hindered. I have not encountered any bugs at this time.
I like Windows 10 so far, and I especially like how it's free.

Wow, very detailed review! I assume this means that bugs were no problem?

With a few issues that were preventing my PC from upgrading to windows 10 now fixed, I've been wondering: how bad are the bugs in Windows 10 as of now? I was going to wait until around December to upgrade, as that should give Microsoft plenty of time to squash the majority of bugs, but do I really need to wait that long? People that have windows 10, leave your suggestions below please! Thanks! ~Lego

It's not against the rules to say "fight me m8" I agree with jan I'm not sure why you posted this.

I never said it is against the rules, just stating that I find it highly annoying, and have no respect for him.

General Discussion / catgamer4 is back (its really boom)

« on: 19 July 2015, 02:21:15 PM »

So for a couple of days now, catgamer4 has been back, doing the same stupid crap as always. But i have discovered that it is actually BoomGamerShow, posing as him. Why is he doing this? God knows. If you do /seen catgamer4 it shows his other names, which are: amazingfantasy15, boomgamershow, mlgchuggin, sn00pdogge, and tmc_blackdeath. He has appeared to have acquired some pretty good gear, and has constantly been spamming chat asking random people to fight him, sending me tp requests (which i denied, obviously) and continually going on with things like "fite me m8" "you too scared you gonna get rekt" over, and over, and over. He is also trying to hide the fact that he is boom. I do hope to see him banned soon. If anyone else has any info regarding this that you would like to share, feel free to post below. #catgamer4defeated #phonycatgamer4isnext

Livid was tricked by wiki, who tp'd to him saying he'd/she'd help him, but instead killed him.  I am not entirely sure if this is illegal, but it sure seems like it to me. I am posting this for livid, and heres a screenshot taken by him to prove the incident.

Ban/Punishment Appeals / Re: hey dudes can you unban me i just wanna play vc

« on: 23 July 2014, 11:11:35 PM »

Cat, this is pathetic. VC staff will NEVER unban you, especially after your last incident. Spamming the chat with rude remarks towards the entire server.  I have faith that staff will deny your second appeal as harshly and quickly as the first. Good riddance. #catgamer4defeated

and one other thing, like Runek said on one of your other appeals, every time you are unbanned, you continue to do the things you were banned for. And you expect to be unbanned? Pitiful. You even got a ban on VCV for your last "visit" to the server. ok, that's all. Oh, and one more thing: #catgamer4defeated

Does "removed wither arrows" mean they wont work or are not allowed?  Someone told me they still worked for him.

Existing ones might still work, but I don't think you can acquire them anymore. Not sure. Most plugins have terrible configs with poor documentation, poor logic, and features often simply do not work as you'd assume they should.
I specifically disabled them and stopped skeletons from having them. If they still work despite this, then fuck if I know how to make them stop working.

Let me know if they still work and if you can still get them.

I don't think I can still get them, but my existing ones still work. Also because I use them with a god bow, which has infinity. So ive basically got unlimited of any arrow

do you want me to stop using them Ako?

Thanks for all your thoughts guys, so think this could be a vote? And would the vote be to lower the price, make it a VIP bonus, or both?

Or those could be the three choices right there. XD

"Enjoying the control room" can easily turn into abusing it.

I see what you mean Knite, such as noobs going in there to spam it. maybe it could be a VIP privilege or something like that.

I agree with this, it is quite high. Even $500 seems a little pricey, but it's an improvement either way

Thanks Luis

I have always liked going into the control room at the arena, and so do many other players. But paying 2k each time will take a toll on your bank account. I think it should be lowered to around $500. Because if you aren't a rich player, you really cant enjoy the control booth. Please take this into consideration and maybe even a Parliament vote!

Swampville_CRH has been griefed by at least one player. That one player is infernap000. 4 blocks of bricks were destroyed from the road, as well as plenty of blocks from Octogamers redstone machine outside the village.  Also 2 villagers that we spawned in were killed. Another player or two may have also been involved. We also believe that TriforceLZG3 may have killed the villagers Staff, please get online soon and bring these evil-dooers to justice!
