That sounds a lot better than their dark patterns tricking my distracted self into accidentally OK-ing an upgrade to Windows 10!

- flukus 10y agoI actually have the opposite problem. Windows 7 updates that refuse to install so I can't upgrade to windows 10. I think it's related to when I installed silverlight (for netflix or something) which decided then decided that my OEM copy of windows was pirated. Shit like that has me eyeing up a return to ubuntu.
- ci5er 10y agoI hear you. I spend probably half of my time in a Unix-ey dev environment, and way too much of the other half in Microsoft Office. When I tried running Windows in a VM on RHEL (maybe it was Fedora) and then Ubuntu or Fedora in a VM on Windows, I just found that Linux played nicer in the guest VM than Windows did, so I still find myself with a Windows host. But, I tell you: if they ever make MS Excel work nicely on Linux - I'm done with Windows! :-)
- flukus 10y agoI had that experience installing docker recently, the home edition of windows 10 doesn't support it properly because of arbitrary feature limitations. Generally I stick with windows for work related activities, but with .net and soon sql server being cross platform and my favorite games already there I don't have much of a reason to stay.
- SixSigma 10y agoMy recent win7 sp1 upgrade kept failing. Turns out it needed the 100MB system partition marked "active" in Diskman. I think Grub had changed that when I dual installed. I found stories of people who deleted the 100MB partiotion and had to do a full reinstall.
