Hey guys,
It's the 29th of July, as you probably know, I've been looking forward to this day for lord knows how long now, as it's the day I can finally be rid of windows 8.1.
I don't know about you guys, but my windows 8.1 has slowly been getting slower and slower with several bugs, including the get windows 10 (GWX) software taking up 40% of my CPU when checking it's availability, to which Microsoft's 'customer support' put down to a virus (which was actually punkbuster anti cheat software), and just these past few days it takes 10 minutes before I can actually load an application, and that's with regular software AND hardware maintenance. and lets not start with the painfully slow loading times of task manager.
I'll admit 8.1 was okay, in the beginning, I was an odd bodd who actually liked the interface, but it did start to become the epitome of tedium eventually.
I've heard of some significant performance improvements with window's 10's new DirectX on AMD hardware at least, so it will be interesting to see how that pans out on my PC later on today seeing as my PC runs an AMD CPU and GPU.
but otherwise, I'm taking the plunge early, might as well see what it's about, i just can't wait to see the back of windows 8.1...
what about you guys, any fellow early adopters?
