So, I thought to myself, enough is enough. Last week, out of the blue the laptop decided to show me the blue update screen for 30 minutes in the morning when I needed to use it. It forces them on you, sometimes in the most inopportune time. However, with Windows 10 you no longer have the luxury to easily decline or only manually perform Windows updates. And I would have been quite happy with a HiDPI capable Windows 7, if that was an option on my Dell XPS 15 9550. My iPhone is still rocking iOS 10, because who has time to re-jailbrake. I am still on macOS 11.6 (I refuse to call it 10.11.6, it’s time to drop the damn 10, Apple). Generally I am not the type of man to update my stuff as soon as the latest and greatest, barely tested alpha quality “beta” of the latest operating system rolls out. Before too long you are looking at the Win+R menu from Windows 95 and RegEdit program of similar vintage with the top menu that inexplicably opens to the left.īut I know what you are going to say: “It works! Who cares what it looks like underneath, it works! God damn it, it works!” Ahh, but that’s where you are wrong. Windows 10 sure looks nice, and works well, when it does, but as soon as you need to configure something more serious on it, you quickly start falling down the rabbit hole. And as you dig deeper, you soon discover that the whole thing stands on the foundation for a shack erected around the turn of the previous century. Upon further inspection you quickly realize that this modern beauty is built upon the skeleton of an actual mid century house, one poorly constructed decades ago. Then one day you accidentally step where you shouldn’t have, your foot falls through the floor. But if you look a little close you soon notice that the strong and distinctive lines look a little off, and there is something lurking underneath. Windows 10 is like a big and beautiful mid century modern house.
Update: Please read the update section on the bottom of the article for additional technical details and warnings and Microsoft’s response.Ĭoming back to the world of Windows after years of working on macOS was a jarring experience, made especially so by the mess that is Windows 10.
