Oh well... I guess we're gonna wait for the update this time then.
Speaking of updates, on Win10 x64 Enterprise, I use Chrome Canary, so I'm currently on version 88.0.4314.1. This should at least give me some kind of better protection compared to other, older, version of Chrome. |

At last some good news on W10.
Since about June 2019, Windows 10 Home Edition [so probably W10 build 1909], can have Hyper-V installed, previously only available on Pro+, they wanted to be able to run WSL2 [Windows subsystem for Linux v2] on W10 Home Edition, which might also suggest that you can run "Windows XP Mode" on current W10 Home. [Windows XP Mode was a W7 thing, not previously available on W10 Home]. Hyper-V probably not be available on 32 bit versions of Home [or Pro+]. EDIT I think you have to extract some kind of image from the W7 XP mode thing, which is an XP vdi virtual disk image, of XP. From Wikipedia Hyper-V page Today! [EDIT: Many M$ pro's do not yet know that Home can support Hyper-V] Quote:
But, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ans...s-10-home.html I have not tried it yet, still busy setting up W10 Home 20H2 desktop. EDIT: Quote:

I have very strong hopes for the upcoming Windows, to be honest, it seems a very interesting change of direction of Microsoft during the last years by moving closer to the open-source community, like buying Github, or adding a Linux console... that is great and I am pretty sure it will impact positively on the next Windows

Not a move towards Open Source, is just wantin' to seem that way, and as Linux can host Windows apps, so M$ is now just mirroring that.
The Github/Open Source thing, is just leaving the door ajar in case they find it of use, and are attempting to tie devs to M$ via different tactics, like VsCode/VsCodium, just as they have done lately with VS Express/Community. Visual Studio should have always been free, but they [being money mad] wanted to charge devs for supporting their own OS, now that there is a viable alternative to windows, they see that devs will quite happily leave the M$ domain. M$ can see that without some change in direction, there will eventually be no M$ artefacts that are spoken of in the present tense.

I would recommend using Windows Server 2019 as a modern desktop OS.
- You're able to run the latest version of any program, it shares the same kernel with Windows 10. - There is no UWP nonsense, it's fully optimized for desktop experience. - There is no Microsoft account nonsense, the Administrator account is available to you by default. - There is no UAC, everything runs with admin privileges. - Updates are automatically downloaded but NOT automatically installed, and there's certainly no automatic restart. (In fact you're required to manually specify a reason if you ever want to shutdown or restart the computer, but that could be turned off in group policy.) EDIT: plus it looks a lot prettier than win10 with aero enabled. Last edited by feisty2; 11th December 2020 at 09:07. |

Feisty, what do they charge for server nowadays, cant remember what the two options were, "by-the-seat" and something else.
[and how does it work out for single use licence, ie not a client server.] I am fed up to the back teeth with W10 [home], 20H2 is real awkward, and dont like some other AV software to replace M$ AV. It was proably my fault in beng a bit totalitarian, but I ended up not even being able to start up control panel [or much else either], insufficient memory [or similar] despite being 2GB used and 30GB in reserve. I give up on current W10, defo goin' back to 1709, no updates, but hey - that sounds like just what I want [I'm not gonna be using it on-line anyways, gonna be gong Linux only on-line at some point]. [You can Get some M$ thing to stop updates, but damn thing tends to switch back on when you are not lookin']. Linux-wise, bit pissed off there 2, Mint 20.0 [Ulyana] was not shuttin' down properley [history of same for some years, not just Mint], and after imaging, does not restore/run at all, [Macrium Reflect]. Just had a skin full of beer [with a substatial meal], no longer suicidal - tomorrow is another day.

there's an official way to use windows server for free for 3 years (you need to run an activation command every 6 months, you're allowed to do it 6 times), it should be good enough for personal use because you will want to upgrade to a new version of windows server after 3 years and you can continue using the new version for 3 years and so on.
alternatively, there're some scripts in this github repo: https://github.com/massgravel/Micros...vation-Scripts that allow you to activate windows server 2019 until year 2038, but I'm not sure if it's legal. |

Thanks F2, think I'll come back and hava play with WS19 then, after I setup 1709, still got about 650GB left spare on SSD after install of
W10 client and Linux Mint, maybe I also try get Gentoo going too, and leave a bit or room for Reactos or other [Maybe Android x86]. [I dont really use OS drive for data].

you might also wanna check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEw25YaEjaI, it lists a bunch of configurations that make server2019 more suitable as a desktop OS

I've DL'ed, will take a look, thanks F2.
Windows 10 getting you down ? Feel like you're gettin' nowhere fast ? Sick of feelin' like you're on your knees ?

Thanks again F2, I've watched the clip and it does look like it could be more useful than W10.
Was already aware of about half of the config options in the clip, but a few were non familiar. I suppose register every 6 months aint too bad. Looks like even my No2 m/c supports Svr19 [x64, NX & DEP, CMPXCHG16b, LAHF-SAHF, PrefetchW, requirments]. Arh, damn, dont got me no ECC RAM. Quote:

I guess the ECC RAM thing doesn’t really matter if some rare hardware related system crash is tolerable, I don’t have ECC RAM in my desktop computer (I suppose?) and I installed server2019 and it works just fine...

I should probably also mention one small pitfall I encountered while installing server2019 on my surface tablet. THERE IS NO WIFI SUPPORT BY DEFAULT!!! so you should definitely check how to enable wlan on server2019 before installation if your device relies on WiFi for internet access.

F2, personal question.
What is you gonna be doin' when you is leavin' yor school work behind, NASA, or got summick else in mind [Elon Musk stuff maybe] ? You've always been a bit of a Sheldon Cooper type pain in the rectum, guess thats why we all love, deplore, and despise you [And how is R.I. workin' out] EDIT: Is this it, looks very grand: EDIT: Quote:
Whatever you is gonna be doin, best wishes you irrrtating young pup PS, big hugs for XMAS [such a needy fellow] EDIT: Won't be long till Hanz Frunz produces his latest XMAS offering Cum'mon Hanz, give it all you got. EDIT: I got the ISO [EDIT: ~5GB, I think, VHD ~11GB [EDIT: Actually only 8.4GB]], but mid VHD W10 was doin' updates [unbeknown to me, had busy hours set for use in the wee small hours] whilst tryin' to down the VHD, then we got chucked out of pub, so need to doit again. [think MS currently does links with 24 hour validity, so may nolonger be valid tomorrow [or day after], gotta start again, although if already part downloaded, may not apply]. EDIT: I eventually got the 8.4GB VHD file.

Almost all versions of Windows have been critised at their introduction
Some deserved it (Vista, Millenium/ME etc.) others less.
I think XP was the first to get completely rid of MS-DOS. And anyway, most people criticise the whole Windows while using the least worthy versions (like Entry, Learning or Home editions). Differences towards corporate or professional are like between W98 and NT4. For each version there are mayn small toys and tiny impressive tootls that circumvent many troubles and make the living with agreeable. I learned to work with each version, and did not upgrade unless absolutely needed for.
