Comment Yes. (Score -1, Redundant) 517

Most of the updates with windows actually slows it down quite a bit. Windows 7 at release is fast on a core 2 duo. Today it needs a quad i7 at 3.6ghz or faster and a SSD drive to be as fast as the initial release.

Windows XP was the same, clean release install was fast as hell install SP3 and it becomes dog slow.

"Because customers would be switching map cassettes as they drove, we knew cassettes would wind up sitting on top of the dash, baking in the summer sun."

Sadly most engineers today are far too stupid to think of such things. Having a care at all towards longevity and reliability is a thing of the distant past.

Buy a used RV and live in the back corner of your work parking lot. If you are lucky enough to buy a big white fiberglass one with vynal graphics, peel them all off and put an AT&T logo on it or VERIZON and a couple of yellow lights. nobody will even question it being there.

A contractor at work does this, we have had him back 3 times and I have been the only person to notice. he has a motorcycle to get around town. when fall comes he looks for contract work down south. It's actually genius.

Comment Honest Employers.... (Score 2) 381

Give you 1 hour of comp time for every hour of overtime you work. I am salaried and when I work over, I take each over hour as time off.

Honest employers do this, Dishonest ones just tell you the "sucks to be you" line.

Stop being retards.

Make windows 10 FREE for home or personal use. Purchased License required for anything else, it's really brain dead simple and protects your income stream as business licensing is 90% of your revenue from the OS. You will still charge DELL and HP and others got the OEM licenses if they want it pre-installed on their computers. AS they would not dare to sell a PC with no OS installed to the drooling masses.

But home users that have an IQ above 60 that can install it on their own? give it to them for free and utterly destroy the piracy of your OS.
