It was proven ages ago that Windows 10 won't be a subscription based thing. You don't need to pay each year, it's just a free lifetime upgrade as long as you upgrade within that first year.
If it's a good feature, why laugh at them adding it? Sure, it may not be the most innovative thing, but it's still an improvement over not having it at all. If anything, laugh at the useful features they didn't add.
Oh, that's really good to hear, actually. I might go through with the upgrade then. One thing I've been wanting to do is back up all my hard drive contents and do a fresh install of 10, so I had better get on that, I only have until the end of July to do so haha.
but you said that never wanted to upgrade from windows 7 so microsoft filed your complain and blocked the upgrade for youThis is insane, I can't even get the bloody prompt to show up at all, so I can't even reserve my free copy

nope, real man don't change their mind, they make a mistake and live with the consequences

It sounds cynical, but I can speak from experience when debugging other peoples' code, especially when it came to optimizing for specific platforms. Since most of the OS's of that era started with the descriptor saying "Windows 95", "Windows 98", and its in-built shorthand of "Win95", "Win98", the common thing was to detect the OS build, and have a codepath forIs this really the reason though? Their naming conventions have been whacky as of late, and if they really wanted to call it nine I think they could have gone around that problem by having it recognized as Windows Nine... Then again lazy devs probably just checked the first letter and installers tried to install Windows NT-stuff.
switch(platform)
{
Win95:
Win98:
WinMe:
// Do windows 9x junk here
WinNT:
// Windows NT junk here
}Oh, very much so. Annoyingly it is even integrated into some SDK libraries. So even if your hand-written code would have accounted for it, the compiler might not.Well Win9 wouldn't match any of those anyway. What I heard was that it just checked the first character after Win and that would have been the problem (which is not even lazy, just stupid because it would have been just as fast to add the lines like in your code (or faster). Ever came across code like that? I still don't want to believe.
That doesn't really mean much, since the prompt was launched today...lol.
To be fair it's almost been 24 hours since people started actively reporting the icon appearing, and I didn't get it myself until two or three hours ago.

in all seriousness though, calm down and wait for the update to come to you. you said you blocked automatic updates for the "terrible terrible update of doom" that is lurking there, I already dealt with it and is resolved by pressing F8 as startup and selecting the last good known config, simple as that.
