The windows 10 Updates are very frustrating. I have had machines rebooting for
7 hours to install updates, and it will install some updates no matter what
your settings are. Lets not also forget that occasionally an update seems to
reset you privacy settings . I have also had it restart in the middle of a
render .
From an interface point of view Windows 10 is miles ahead , however in every
other respect it’s a pain in the ass. Anyone who follows my twitter account can
see how often I rage about this, As soon as there is a decent way to get NVidia
Optimus work on Linux I am moving.

Subject: XSI and Window 10, the bright future
Hi,
I've got machines with Win 8.1 Pro at the moment and with the free upgrade
"deadline" approaching I'm thinking wether not not to take the plunge to Win10
during the summer.
My main concern apart from privacy issues is that given the fact that there
will now be continuous rolling windows upgrades that XSI will cease to function
one fine morning. Much the same way that some programs stop working with MacOSX
updates. And no-one will provide updates to fix that.
I'm mostly happy with Win8.1+ClassicShell but the fact that M$ and Intel want
upcoming hardware to require new Windows is perhaps a reason to update. I'm
still looking to use XSi for another 3-5 years.
Does anyone with more knowledge of Windows internals and XSI dependencies have
an opinion on the likelyhood of M$ messing with something that XSI needs?
Thank you,
Fabian
