Lmao Ive obtained this new machine that has W10 on it. Christ this is the worst OS ever made. Its doing all this nutty snapping windows shit. And even when you turn it off, it STILL does the fucking highlighting all over the screen. Im going to have a seizure.
Then I try and get my personal email working on it, which turns out isnt actually possible because there are important fields totally missing from the settings when you try and set up the email acct. My incoming and outgoing settings both require a server port number. It wont work without this. Learned this the hard way on the iphone. Welp, its not in the mail app in W10 at all! Lolz I have to use like a temp gmail email or something. Microsoft is worse than modern Apple, and thats saying something.

As I was reading along I knew in the back of my mind there'd be a shot across the bow at Apple.
You did not disappoint. Well done!

I installed Windows on this Mac because I can dual boot and actually play games that way. I upgraded to Windows 10, and I don't seem to see what you would describe as "nutty snapping windows shit" or "the fucking highlighting all over the screen." Perhaps you're in some kind of accessibility mode, or you have a setting that is doing that?
- Fresh install of W10. Did this by default. Googled it, its built into it.CygnusZero4
- Mine was a fresh install too, obviously :)monospaced
- i love the snapping. you can also snap using the winkey+directiondeathboy
- still can't find any "snapping" anywheremonospaced
- Aero snap is awesome - i even installed some 3rd party software in my OSX to get it there as well :)jagara

I've decided to stick with Win7 and just let my free upgrade slip away - fucked if I'm risking installing that shit on my computer any time soon.
My concern thereafter is 'where next?'
- dont blame you. this shit sucks hard.CygnusZero4
- upgrade with next pcdrgs
- nah, I don't want it - it's the first time in nearly 20 years of owning PCs that I don't want anything to do, at all, with Windows.detritus
- I run three Win 32-bit XP machines (offline!) to control hardware and whilst they're a bit clunky - I really don't see much improvement over the years.detritus
- Win7 is a sweetspot Windows - my partner's laptop is Win8 and is the most infuriating piece of shit I've ever dealt with. Win10 = that plus phoning home & Apps.detritus

I've not had any of your snapping issues on a Win 10 desktop or laptop. I don't use the built-in mail client, so I can't comment.... however, most apps allow you to specify the port right in the server address, for example:
imap.gmail.com:993
Not user friendly, but a potential work-around for you.
- huh? it was one of the features they were advertising. smart snap shit.CygnusZero4

- every windows 10 machine ive seen had this snapping nonsense going onCygnusZero4
- when you turn it off though, the snapping does stop, but you still see it highlighting areas of the screen it wants to snap to.CygnusZero4
- I'm aware it exists. It's been around in some form since Win 7. It simply doesn't present the issue you are having for me.ETM
- i use outlook on work for mail. works fine by me. use opera mail at home. personally with all the win10 spy shit i turned off i didnt want to use their mail appdeathboy

does it suck for realz?
- for me it seems pretty slick, but I'm no power usermonospaced
- It's fine. This is only internet whining horse-shittery. I built a new PC and use W10 with no issues whatsoever. None.face_melter

- Holy shit! People actually like this? I have never used Windows outside of launching a browser.ArmandoEstrada
- what the fucksshitsureshot
- So close the ribbon. That little 'down arrow' icon in the title bar (next to word "File Exporer") or hit ctrl-F1. Problem solved. It's an option.ETM
- yeah, but that doesn't turn it into a sensible menu like in the past. It just hides the same crowded, illegible ribbon until you click the tab.monNom
- i wish they would bring back the detail bottom panel. i liked seeing the details with large preview.deathboy

- windows is more customizable than mac os, you can change most of itdrgs
- sort ofmonospaced
- it should be 'oppositely customisable' though, in that it starts simple and true and the user can then power up if she wants.
</^ that is a fucking mess.detritus - drgs-> but i don't NEED to change my Mac, that why I use it. Not that its perfect, but it feels way better that that.ArmandoEstrada
- I find OS X shows you more ways to view/find files than Windows. To me that's more customizable than visual tweaks could ever dream of being.monospaced

I keep getting tempted by Surface, then I remember the GUI is garbage and all the frustration of trying to do anything in Windows.

i hope they give me a job.
the icon they used for Videos is so outdated. what is the point in seeing two film slides. It should be the Play Icon.- you haven't applied for a job theremonospaced
- they have to contact me.
i can give them something no one has.
symbols, icons never before seen. icons that can help you make nice minimal vector icons.darkslateblue - *eddie_murphy.giflvl_13

it's at times like this I'm sorry that QBN isn't the Googlelinkhole it used to be.

MS enables more options by default than maybe they should, however, it's because a huge percentage of feature requests and support relates to options/features that already exist and people didn't know about.

i used mac in college and im not impressed but im not gonna say you cant get work done on it cause i did. but i do prefer windows.
- the guy who made rustboy.com didnt use maya or xsi and look what he made.
only you can make the tool great.darkslateblue - Do people still use xsi? Not seen it around for years.
those tools are okay for small projects but for serious development you need these "big" programs.mugwart

if i were to remake the 16x16 icons for music and videos and pictures i would use the play arrow for music and videos and next arrow for pictures.
