AskWoody LoungerSeptember 6, 2017 at 9:01 am in reply to: Keizer: Win7 is sticking around more than XP did in its final years #132441Third post : Windows 10 has had so many problems writers and programmers are fragmented into different locations and cannot get together working on the same items. Then the items are released without testing to the public. Thus the problems begin, then you have one stacked on another. No wonder 10 is so unstable. I use all parts of my 2009 windows 7 sp1 x64 home premium desktop with no problems as long as I follow askwoody.com and keep my cool.

AskWoody LoungerSeptember 2, 2017 at 7:29 am in reply to: August Browser and Operating System share numbers mixed #131838The only way that MS will ever recover it’s standing with the people of the world is to revert back to it’s corporate structure it had in the middle of the windows-7 development. They would, probably regain enough prestige to develop windows 10 into a viable unit for public and corporate consumption.

AskWoody LoungerAugust 29, 2017 at 12:51 pm in reply to: Microsoft patches buggy Windows 7 patch, KB 4039884 solves the dual-monitor rendering problem #131092It is just the ineptness of the employees of MS plus there appearly no educated supervisors. Now, that tells us to wait and see for at least 60 days before letting them in our computers!

AskWoody LoungerI just check that little box because it gives me chrome updates and it takes about 2 minutes or less for whole process. I had the latest already installed. When I initially installed the latest version I was 2 versions behind. I went to Google Chrome website and downloaded the latest version, that was 5 months ago. All my pages and etc were added to the new version.

AskWoody LoungerIf I could change my PC into Chrome book with compatible speed and 10x’s the storage of and speed the world would almost be great without MS!

AskWoody LoungerThe PC owners didn’t buy just to connect. PC’s have 3x’s speed and 10x’s the storage. We like ‘speed’ & closet space.
