Boycott Windows 11!! (Sorry, let's boycott Microsoft instead! And Apple for that matter after appealing a case with Epic where they won all but one decision. And they still had to appeal! Corporations are greedy evil POSs!)
Let me tell you why. When Windows 10 released in 2015, Microsoft said it would be the last Windows OS you would ever need. Meaning that from now on Windows 10 would just be updated periodically. In fact, Windows 11 was just supposed to be this big update for Windows 10.

But here we are in 2021 and Microsoft has a brand new OS for us. Not only that but anything prior to an Intel 8th Gen CPU and an AMD Ryzen Gen 2 CPU is "not supported". Oh wait some Intel Gen 7 CPUs are supported. The ones that are in Microsoft's own Surface Pro laptops. This is a bunch of bologna to make people upgrade their adequate enough PCs. Not to mention all this nonsense about TPM chips and Secure Boot. I say foul. And I say BOYCOTT!

Who's with me? BOYCOTT Windows Two Towers!!!!

I am just playing. I will probably upgrade to Windows 11. But only when they have ironed out the kinks and Direct Storage is actually a thing.

Oh but for anyone wondering about Windows OSs, you are supposed to skip every other one essentially. Going back to XP.

See it goes:

XP - Yes
Vista - No
7 - Yes
8/8.1 - No
10 - Yes
11 - You get the point.

Down with Windows Two Towers!!! Bring on Windows 12.

(The term Windows Two Towers is a trademark of me, and in reference to the number 11 looking like two towers, and in no way reference to the World Trade Center or Lord of the Rings.)

I am obviously just joking! And the disclaimer is obviously not real either. Come on now.

Epic and apple fight against themselves all they want, they're just to big babies fighting over money.


Also Microsoft been funny, they back paddling few times, and only makes them look like a joke more, and more, they either realize they can't force everyone to newer hardware, or realize not everyone willing to upgrade their systems at their beck and call, as well they know out right this only case more E-waste really as the avg Joe either throw it out, if they can't sell it off for fair price, or don't know how to repurpose it. That why very old hardware are likely to be found in trash, such as from the 80s, 90s, and possibly early 2000 before quad core became mainstream. You may come across possible hardware that made after 2008, but that either due company doing E-waste because couldn't sell, or just faulty hardware.

Also MS know they're causing some people to look to using another device such as Mac, Chromebook, or installing linux to skip W11, or stick to using their current OS such as W10, or etc.

I don't know, I'm kinda wanting to go back to 10. 11 doesn't really offer anything new except requirements and looks. Plus I'm getting tired of 11's interface.

I think I'll reformat back to 10 and use it for a couple years while I get certified in Linux in the meantime.

It's weird because I was so excited for 11 at first, now I'm just getting tired of Microsoft and them pushing hardware requirements during a shortage. It just doesn't make any sense and it's why I no longer want to be a part of windows anymore.

Plus for me newer AAA games only offer good graphic and are terribly lacking in many other aspects, like replayability. I find these games extremely boring and I only use them for benchmarking purposes anyways.

10 is a ♥♥♥♥ no from me

10 was a no? As compared to Vista or 8/8.1? I don't know. Compared to those it was amazing. You do know you can disable or rather enable a bunch of privacy settings and disable a bunch of ad settings so Microsoft can't spy on you? I hope 11 hasn't gotten rid of those features. I don't like Microsoft gathering info from my system or spying on me.
the settings don't really do anything, there just there you make you feel better.
well but i already have windows 11 on my machine since day 1.
But i only used it for ~30 minutes. I mainly use Linux lol

LMFAO...You do know this was a joke post right?

I mean it brings to light some real and true stuff that Microsoft said and did. But obviously I was joking and being sarcastic. I think you missed that.

we should have never let them kill WIN7 ... imo the best version of windows ever imo. i still don't like win10 for various reasons. but i will never go win11. I've actually been running FerenOS for a while now and love it. if you've never heard of it look it up on youtube or something. hands down the smoothest most windows like experience i've had on linux.

even comes with 4 different desktop layouts, one like win7, one like 10, one like apple (puke) and one like ubuntu. only linux distro i haven't had to reinstall yet for some stupid reason like a changed a setting and borked something and couldn't get it back the way i wanted it.

I second that. Windows 7 was also my favorite version. As well as XP. Also have fond memories of 3.11, 95, and 98 back in the 90's. But I don't know if all those versions of Windows were actually better than any other version or I just think they were good because I have fond memories of them.

3.11 was really my first memories with windows as it was on my first "real" PC I had as a kid. It had an Intel 486 processor and it is where I played games like Wolfenstein and Doom. The PC actually loaded to MS-DOS 6.0 and did everything from there. And there was the option to go into Windows 3.11 to use a bunch of applications. But really all my games on that PC were loaded from DOS. I also believe that this is the PC that I first had Dark Forces on. I am trying to remember all the other games I had on it but having a hard time. I know Warcraft II was on it, and I do remember that I had a subscription to PC Gamer which came with demo disks every month so you could try out games.

Windows 98 was on my first Pentium PC and this is where I first played Half Life. I had a bunch of good games on it back then in the late 90's.

Windows XP was on my first AMD PC. This is the PC I had bought when I first started college back in 2001. I had an Athlon XP processor on it but I forget how fast it was. It was the 1800 or 1900. Something like that. I also had a Geforce card on it. I can't quite remember what it was I had on it but I remember upgrading it a little in the summer of 2004 to a faster Athlon XP, more ram, and better GPU so I could play Doom 3, Half Life 2, and the first Far Cry. I am not sure but it might of been a Geforce 5700. I remember it wasn't the fastest, but it could handle Doom 3 and Half Life 2. But it did struggle with Far Cry a little when it was maxed out. I did have some fond memories of that PC but unfortunately it crapped out in 2007. Looking back on it, I think it was around the same time Crysis released. My PC might have been scared that I would buy it and try to install it and decided to go quietly in the night.

After that I went 3 years without a gaming rig until I bought a mid range Windows 7 PC at the end of 2010. It had an AMD Athlon II x 4 640 processor, a GTX 460, and 4GB of RAM. It wasn't the best, but it was that PC that got me back into PC Gaming.

In the summer of 2011 I upgraded it to an AMD Phenom II x6 1100T, a GTX 570, and 8 GB of RAM. Since then I have been building and upgrading ever since. Last consoles I bought were the XBox 360 and the PS3. Been sticking to PC Gaming and haven't regretted a minute of it.

:steamthumbsup: yeah, sounds like me. i actually had a similar rig 1090t / 560ti and gave it to my parents for christmas when i upgraded. they're still using it till this day. but yeah i remember win 3.11 and booting games from DOS. it actually took a long time for me to even give up XP but once i got use to win 7 i kinda fell in love all over again. i just remember with XP it seemed like after a year or two if you didn't reinstall it would slow down sometimes. don't really miss that part of it.

i had a ps3 too but after i had moved one time, it just sat there in the box for like a year or two so i sold it, kinda wish i wouldn't have now though because it was one of the launch versions that also played ps2 games. and now it's kinda hard to find a ps2 now that's in good shape that works and is in good condition for a decent price. and only reason i would even want one is to play Midnight Club: Dub Edition. still my favorite racing game of all time. but yeah, i'm done with consoles. (plus i use a ps3 controller when needed on pc anyway)

I thought it was funny tho, i was working on this construction job a good while back and there were these russian guys there, and not sure how we got in a conversation about computers and games, but i'll never forget them saying, "f**k console, consoles for kids!" lol. he said that's how they look at them over there.

Doom 3, Half Life 2, and the first Far Cry
That was a great trio of games and a good time period for PC gaming. I especially liked Doom 3 and Far Cry. They both might be my favorite entries in each series even (I actually really ONLY like the first Far Cry, and prefer its spiritual successor in Crysis over the newer Far Cry titles).

I had a Pentium III with 512 MB RAM and a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 at the time. It did... not like me trying Doom 3 nor Far Cry on it.

I later moved to a Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, and a GeForce 6800 GS AGP, and it allowed me to play both at high settings well. I'd say that's when I got into the "modern, more demanding" territory of PC gaming. Everything prior to then was older or lighter stuff. That lasted me until 2007 or so as well. The most demanding thing I tried on it was Crysis (the demo). It didn't fare very well with it, but the next PC did (which is when i moved on from having Dell after Dell and built my first one, though I still like Dell a bit).

Funny how I have more gravitated back to lesser demanding games, and not because I can't play more demanding stuff or made a conscious choice to play less demanding stuff. I'm just not someone who needs 100 FPS, or 1440p/4k, or maximum settings without compromise, and I guess the games that appeal to me most lately aren't as demanding. In that way, even though Shredder highly exaggerates about how the GTX 970 stands up today (I have a comparable GTX 1060), I absolutely get how he is happy with it.

yep, and crysis kinda fell off too. you got this dude running around in an enhanced predator style mech suit that has CLOAKING abilities, but he's using a bow and arrow? c'mon. i actually never played any of the other far cry titles either. was kinda looking at the new one that just came out, but idk yet. what do you think? i did see that all the peta/sjw activists are trying to have it cancelled because it has c0ck fighting in it. so that to me is reason to support it.

I haven't tried Far Cry 6 but I thought I was getting tired of the Far Cry formula after Far Cry 4 but when I bought Far Cry 5 I fell in love with it. So it might be the same with Far Cry 6 but who knows. I am not in a rush to play it.

As far as Crysis, I actually first played on it my Athlon II 640/GTX 460 system and it was able to run it decent. So I thought it was pretty good. But I remember when Crysis 2 came out in 2011 everyone was mad at Crytek because it had seemed dumbed down compared to the first one because of its simultaneous release on the consoles. But I was one that actually enjoyed Crysis 2's campaign and multiplayer more than the first. When they released the DX11 patch and High Res Textures for PC I thought it was gorgeous.

Funny you say that about your 1090T/560TI system. I gave my 1100T/570 to my dad too and he was using it up until this year too. Now I have it again. I have all my old computers too. I am thinking about digging through them and seeing if I can get them to work again. I still have a bunch of physical copies of my old games.

As far as consoles, I was never impressed at all with the PS4 and the XBox One. But the new PS5 and XBoxs have impressed me a little. Maybe because they are very similar to PCs more than ever. Especially with their SSDs. Don't think I would buy an XBox Series X because there is no point when you have a powerful enough PC as all those games will get released on PC as well but eventually I might buy a PS5 as I love me some God of War. But IDK, it looks like Sony will be releasing all their games on PC as well eventually.
