Free upgrade to Windows 9 for Windows 8 users. What this mean for activations.

[EtherealN]

The way they're having to lay people off by the thousands, you'd think they would start trying to make something worth a S*&%..................

 

If I recall correctly, most of those layoffs are from what used to be Nokia Handheld, which they purchased as a vehicle for Windows on Mobile. (And which was bleeding money very very fast at the time due to having been disastrously slow to properly join the smartphone race.)

 

Windows 8 is a very good OS. The first release unfortunately hid that behind a pretty bad UI implementation. 8.1 solved the worst bits. 8.2 (which is apparently now called Windows 10 O.o) solves the rest, as far as I've been able to see.

I am more excited to see if DX 12 which apparently can give upto 50% improvements in frame rates for CPU bound apps can actually help DCS. Hopefully ED will take a close look and consider a upgrade to EDGE later this year.

I will have to wait until I see the 'fine print'.

OK what is this activations and de-activations? I enable and disable modules in DCS. Is this activations?

 

Or is activations done on the website. Just checking on this because I enable and disable modules a LOT.

I'm very surprised at that as a windows 7 user. I may actually switch over then.
