Why would anyone use media center ?

 

Windows Media Center + TV Tuner + Media Center Extenders

 

Are VERY Popular.

And you are sure it will not be launched as an app?

 

If they are giving it to many for free I guess they will have to do some sort of free to play type model by selling apps, but who is going to pay for Microsoft apps/programs when there is so many better options?

WinX is just really messy for now. IE is worse than ever, start menu doesn't launch win32 apps, and one of the sub exe of the start menu has a memory leak that sink a gig of ram per minute.

 

If you are curious, you can definitively try it. If you want Something stable, definitively stay on 7 or 8.1.

 

DCS works for me, but i had to create a batch file to taskkill the memory leak every minute to keep the ram clear.

Last few builds have had issues launching programs and applications as they are changing some GUI Code.

 

I.E. is dead, dont bother with it.

You are aware of the fact that these builds are debug builds? Seems like you think you are working on something that is released. Fail :thumbup:

MSInsider Members that tested the O/S will get free upgrade path.

 

So theres my loophole I was looking for.

 

Gonna keep my Win10 install separate, and choose the option to upgrade that one to retail,

and leave my Win7 Ult intact :-)

Nice. I used a spare 256GB SSD for my Win 10 install. No dual boot, just swapped the drives. :)

Even if they require a Win7 license I have extras,

And they'll prolly go on sale for $50 a pop soon.

 

Depending on the memory limits, I wont need another ultimate build.

True. I have an extra Win 8 license and I have two Win 8 installs that weren't upgrades so those Win 7 keys are available too.

 

Ha! I just realized I have a my neighbors OEM Vista key. I replaced his mobo and Vista activation recently.

Definately looking at running Win10 on a tablet, likely buy a used second hand Surface Pro.

 

As for Win7 licenses, I bought a 10 pk as it was cheaper per license, so when.I build systems I have them ready...

 

i upgraded a few to pro in my home, and my main rig to ultimate because i needed the features.

It's a trap!!! Don't do it. Once they have you then they will go all Darth Vader on you and you'll be at their mercy...
