Windows 10 and P99

[Kelor]

Hi there, not seen any threads on this, is it wise to download Windows 10 on the 29th? could it effect project 99 in any way?. Thanks for replies.

based on the windows 8 threads that popped up in tech discussion when that launched I'd say yes...however, you can't put it off forever if you want Windows 10 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I updated, I can say with certainty:

-Until last night, Nvidia drivers were fucking people's shit up hard. MS was forcing a newer, broken version of the driver through Windows Update (which if you're not aware, you cannot disable or tell it 'no'.) Windows Update kept installing these, over and over again, so no amount of driver rollbacks helped. It's solved now, but it definitely doesn't make me feel good about Windows wanting to control all my damned drivers through Windows Update without giving me the option to tell it to fuck off. Borked drivers are not exactly uncommon.

-Everquest works perfectly fine. So does Teamspeak, ramdisk, etc. You shouldn't have much issue with the game or commonly used programs that go along with P99.

I'd be weary of upgrading unless you know you're capable of going back to an older Windows version and/or fixing issues yourself. I personally don't think Windows 10 is ready for release at all (it's honestly kind of a major let down right now), but that's just my opinion.

That bullshit is why this old box is still running WinXP and it's replacement is gonna run Linux. It's my box, it is not MicroSoft's property. Fuck them and the horse they woulda rode in on if it hadn't died when they forced 9000 lbs of random shit up it's ass. The scumbags rode the open platform bandwagon they championed to the top and for the last 20+ years they've been scheming to destroy the very thing that made their success possible. (Look up DRDOS and Win95, I'm not kidding about the 20+ years.)

If I can't run a game under Linux then the game's not worth the cost of running it. Mothers, don't let your kids grow up to use Windows.
