Making things Windows 10 only already makes the process difficult as in I find it difficult to move over to Windows 10 just for their fucking sake.

Maybe now more people will support the supreme power of 4x RX480s in CF.

 

Joke. It's a joke, guys.

Well, they just tried with the whole RX 480 debacle.  They got tons of bad PR even though it doesn't really matter unless you're using a super budget MB (I know that lots of people who would buy a 480 might be on one, but not enough to flip out about).  I think that it was deceptive and the wrong way to go about it, but if they tried to do many of the things nVidia does, they'd lose some of their loyal fanbase and it'd likely be a PR disaster.

yea when nvidia messes up we tend to let them off the hook more readily than when amd messes up

I wouldn't say that. People are still mentioning 480 and drivers that killed off GPUs, even though AMD had the same issues not long ago when Crimson driver was killing AMD GPUs.

 

I'm not gonna mention AMD's super hot GPUs and power consumption. It's getting old.

Well, to be fair, AMD only released botched drivers once. Nvidia has multiple releases.

Windows 8 on desktop should've had Start button with proper desktop start menu from the get go, yes

Windows 8, 10 on desktop should've had proper mouse and keyboard support from the get go and there shouldn't have been the abomination formerly known as Metro

Windows 10 on the desktop has proper mouse and keyboard support...

 

And they fixed Metro

There's no need to make fun of people here. You can offer constructive criticism or explain why you don't disagree or agree with something.

To be fair, they fixed that within 24 hours of the story breaking, and over 12 of those hours were thanksgiving Sunday.

I stated what is actually happening on the Windows 10 platform, and what its intent is.

 

Take from that, what you will.

[Energycore]

I'm just gonna put both quotes in here, back to back.

I am going to contain my snark and state, in a very matter-of-fact way, that I don't think your first quote qualifies as an objective statement, or even a statement at all

[DarkBlade2117]

I think everyone needs to grow a pair and upgrade to windows 10 for two reasons. To shut Microsoft the fuck up and push the lazy ass developers to make DX12 games. It's been what? Almost a year since DX12 was released? Come on already...

You do realize that the entire point of the Windows 10 platform, is to 

A. Save M$ money by only having to develop for 1 platform (mostly, and not necessarily a bad thing)

B. Make money by collecting your data, to be sold for marketing purposes? This isn't a "conspiracy theory", it's in the End User License Agreement that you agreed to.

 

It's a statement, of fact. Windows 10 is designed to sell your information for marketing purposes. Sure, you can try and disable the telemetry, but every time you download a "security update", which you will eventually have to do (regardless of whether or not you have blocked the updates) for security purposes, your workarounds to block the telemetry will likely be undone, or some workaround to bypass them will be implemented. You will have to continuously fight with M$ over control of your system.

Meanwhile, Nvidia is killing 3 way or more SLI or SLI at all on the 1060.

I'm aware, I've done all I can to disable their telemetry services

 

See, that there is a statement

How does "selling you out like cattle" not cover what I just said?

 

It's called hyperbole? Humor?
