[quote quoting="post"] Has Start10 reached the end? When Windows 8 came out with that awful tile format that no one knew how to use, programs like Start8 were a must and filled a very wide open market. It appears that with the new Windows 10 OS, Microsoft has corrected this oversight. All one has to do is educate themsel

And it has been our policies to control that oil that, directly or indirectly,

Ok, so if you think the government is out to get you, why haven't you started a revolution? Why aren't you holed up in a bunker and off the grid if they can track your every move? After all, what's the point of leaving a trail online? Why didn't you join the folks in the Oregon standoff? If you can't trust the government, who are you voting for?..and if you vote for them aren't you re-enforcing the current system? Can you trust this candidate to take ba

[quote who="The Sisko" reply="38" id="3620183"] Though Stardock did remove XWerewolfX's post on Steam which was a copy of his post here, so make of that what you will in terms of censorship. [/quote] I'm guessing it means that SD believes that posts on Steam have a greater impact on a game's popularity, than threads that are posted here.

What kind of commie pinko liberal BS is that? A deregulated pure capitalism environment where businesses can do what they want, when they want, to whoever they want without legal repercussions so they can create jobs is the only thing that can save the country. Who cares if there's lead in little Johnny's toys. If using lead increases margins, it's the right thing to do! And with a deregulated business environment just think of all the things businesses can achieve!

MS is a defacto monopoly and used it's position in the OS market to include it's browser, giving it a nearly automatic and substantial position in the browser market. That's a fact. All the other things you mentioned in your reply had nothing to do with what I said. And putting words in my mouth so you could win an argument is a slimy straw man debate tactic...Just go ahead and show me where I said or implied that SD was anti competitive, or that having lower cost th

[quote who="psychoak" reply="16" id="3618603"] Microsoft has done plenty of shady stuff, but packaging IE with Windows was as anti-competitive as putting ketchup in a squeeze bottle, [/quote] It depends. For people like you and me who have the knowledge and ability to select and download a different browser, it's not anti-competitive. But for the vast majority of consumers who either don't know about alternative browsers and

Saw the movie for real last week. Question... What/who is the short orange alien with big glasses? I'm guessing she is somehow connected to Yoda. (In the movie, Solo mentioned she had been around for 1,000 years.)...and just how did she get her hands on that light saber?...

Yea, not only is the UI is awful, but the apps themselves are pathetic. e.g. I have a dashboard program that came with my printer. It has plenty of useful features. The Win10 app for my printer has little more than the "print" function. And don't get me started about the available photo management apps...both MS's offering and 3rd party apps (Win10 native) can't even begin to compete with Picassa, which is no longer supported, and hasn't been updated in years.<
