misanthrope304 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I honestly don't have a clue about it. The only thing I know is that through black magic one will be able to play a game across platform from xb1 to pc running Windows 10 according to my xb1 dashboard. This pisses me off to no end because I unboxed my xb1 3 weeks ago out of boredom. Had I known this....I'd probably traded it in on a ps4 and then built a pc to play exclusives for each. Fuck you microsoft. /end butthurt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assfax Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It'd just be streaming games from your xbox to the PC. It's like the PS4 Remote play thing. People have that shit running on phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I don't understand why that this makes you angry. You still need the X-Box One to play the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 What I don't understand is what happens to your OS after you get Windows 10 for a year and that year runs out. Will your old OS automatically come back, assuming you don't pay to stick with Windows 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's free to upgrade for a year after Windows 10's release, after the first year, anyone that wants to upgrade will have to pay. There isn't a subscription fee, as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a subscription fee, as of now. Yes, but what happens if you don't pay? Will your PC restore to 8.1 by itself? Or will I have to re-install my old version of Windows (which is almost always a nightmare)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Did you just wake up? Anyone that upgrades within the 1st year of its release gets it for free. There is no charge to upgrade the software for 12 months There is no subscription fee. Anyone who upgrades within 365 days of WIN10's release gets it for free. WIN10 $0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew POE! Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I may consider upgrading my Windows 8 laptop to Win10 just to see what it's like. I however am not looking forward to dealing with users and their issues after they try to upgrade in an enterprise environment. Microsoft seems to talk more about the structure should be more free but there's no talk about security for the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charro! Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Seems like MS is adopting a similar approach to Apple, where their OS is a free upgrade now. If my PC has the required specs I think I'll update it to 10. Although will probably wait a little while to see how stable it is first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I would love to try it to see how it's like. I'm easily impressed, so the start menu being like it used to be with some tiles is gravy for me. I would be curious about how it would tie into mobile devices. Regarding enterprise environments, I recall when they first introduced it they said that they had enterprise in mind with this one. If they can get the security part right I could see businesses picking this up quicker than they have with 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 We just upgraded from Win 2k four months ago at work, I don't know how quickly we'll go to Win10 Wow. Just. Wow. Win2k hit EOL 4 and a half years ago. Your IT department has some balls. Not smarts, but definitely some balls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 When I saw the free upgrade thing I got pissed figuring that you would need to have Windows 8 and FUCK Windows 8. Then I saw that folks with Windows 7 qualify for the free upgrade and now I'm like FUCK YEAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 We just upgraded from Win 2k four months ago at work, I don't know how quickly we'll go to Win10 My jaw hit the floor reading this. How in the fuck did your company function with that? Jeezus, that's crazy to think of. The potential rollout to 10 might not be bad for some areas. But anything medical like hospitals and clinics likely won't see this for some time. Even then, odds are it won't work with most of the medical programs because they're tied to at best XP. Big names like UMMC are just now getting ready to put in 7, but aren't expecting it to stick with the programs used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 We're currently on 7.1 Enterprise for most things. I think our old graphics computers were running NT 4? Actually, prior to getting our new equipment in 2004, our CG was running 3.1.1 and our still store was the Ampex ESS, which debuted in 1977!

Petey Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I can backup Zeidler here. I work in radio and most of our computers are XP. Our servers are in fact 2003. There's a few select computers that are Win 8 but the ones that actually are responsible for running the stations are all XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Which is actually is. Except its EOL and support stopped last year, so if you want any official support, you have to go to at least 7 now. Which isn't horrible. Now getting jumped to 8.1 for no good reason other than the Exec level thinks it looks pretty and wanted Surface tablets, well, yeah. That's an issue, especially when you have a lazy End User Tech team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
