    You gotta check them out Keloooe, yeah I've been so busy.How are you Kels.
    Currently I don't think you can beat Windows 10 as an operating system it's fast clean
    And makes El Capitan look very dated and slow. Again I have both but find Win 10
    More intuitive. I've loaded El Capitan on my Mac and 60% of my music plugins don't
    Work. So word of warning if you have a Mac don't upgrade its as its dire, until they
    sort all the niggly issues out.

    I rather like Win10 after upgrading from 8.1 which I found to be a quantum leap over 7.x which is the corporate standard in my last workplace.

    Admittedly I'm running 64 bit Pro in a grunty desktop at home compared to a 32 bit limp lappy at the old place

    There have been games of mine that werent working well on 7 and work so much better on 10, love it to bits!
    Yeah KB all is good up here in Pestyland

    Also Ben that is a big issue with 10, if you try reinstalling it and updating it I think it might be somewhat fixed now.

    I do use Linux myself as well for stuff in Unity so I can take advantage of all my ram, definitely a nice OS!

    I've tried lots of different Linux distros but have had nothing but headaches with them, some installed but didn't run well, some refused to boot, some caused my computer to lock-up, and one (Ubuntu) needed a driver for my usb 4G broadband wireless internet dongle (my only internet connection at the time) before I could download any needed drivers (I call that the chicken-and-egg-syndrome), half the problem is that coding in Linux is not my forte.


    I've found that Windows in general seems to work well for me with relatively few issues, it's been quite some time since I first did the Windows 10 upgrade on my laptop and I have to say that I'm really liking it a lot, I've had far less Blue Screens Of Death from it than previous Microsoft OSes, do any of you remember Windows 3.11?, that's how far back I go, Windows 98SE wasn't too bad despite it's occasional habit of suffering from missing .dll files.


    Those new Microsoft Laptops look interesting, might get myself one if/when I can afford one.
