Mods aside, I do feel like I'm a second class citizin now.
I have a capable enough windows 8.1 laptop that I don't want to upgrade to 10 after a bad experience upgrading my old laptop. So next to MS making XBox One feel less desirable, they're also making my windows 8.1 experience feel like I might as well be running Mac OS for all they care. Actually the windows store on my 8.1 laptop has been broken for a long time, I never got to try out project spark as it simply will not download, always stuck on preparing. Confidence level is close to 0.

I'll wait and see how this is all going to turn out. For now I have enough of a backlog not to bother with the MS ecosystem and I'm currently most excited about VR. When I replace my laptop in a few years it will come with Windows 10 anyway.

As far as things go, MS doesn't think you and I actually exist these days. Until we upgrade to 10 we'll start to exist and they will start to throw things your way, until then you're nothing to them. I too had some bad experiences with 10 as I've tried it several times between my desktop and a laptop and I cannot get behind how it looks and runs to be frank and I also cannot get on board for what MS wants to do with PC and Xbox in terms of making PC into a console like closed eco-system. 

For me I'll likely just stick with 7 and ride things out with my backlog until Steam OS takes off, if not I'll switch to a variant of Linux, VUlkan is being supported by Valve, Nvidia, AMD and other parties so I'll have that to rely on rather than Windows 10 and DX 12 and be able to use a Vive or OR with my rig by then.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
