Windows 10 - July 29, 2015

[JeffHCross]

I've got a touchscreen but set Linux to ignore it. Couldn't get the specs I wanted without it.

So I did some research and supposedly office 2007 is compatible with windows 10 so i'm going to start with a download on my laptop (confirm it works) and then move on to the desktop.

Sounds pretty good.

How can you stomach 2007? Absolutely hated that version.

I kept everyone on 2003 until 2010 released. Wasn't very user friendly for most users. I just didn't like it.

Of course they changed their price model for 2013..along the lines of other companies doing subscribe yearly models. Which don't get started on that.

Yeah I am aware 07 is widely hated (not sure why). For what I need it works just fine (typing documents and making the occasional spreadsheet and power point) - and I just do not want to have to pay for a yearly subscription to the new office.

2007 is widely hated because of The Ribbon interface.

LibreOffice is my solution of choice, with OpenOffice available too.

I wouldn't pay for it either...I'd opt for OpenOffice if I were choosing or didn't currently have 2010 Pro from my work

No update for my desktop yet, and my laptop was busy updating 8.1 for me to be able to check this morning.

My laptop says coming in waves. My desktop is reportedly ready and when I clicked proceed the screen just says "Working on it...."

You can install them from XP anyway. Just need the .dll files from the Windows/System 32 folder on an XP install machine.

Copy them over and boom Solitaire, Minesweeper, etc on Windows 8. Don't see why it won't work for 10 either.

Yep I'm 3 hours into installing it on my desktop "Still working on it..."

Laptop no notification to install yet.

Even money my child is born before windows 10 is installed on my two computers.

4 hours still allegedly "Working on it..."

DUMB move to not put up a status bar, give me a % or something b/c now I have no clue if it is even working and I should just let it go or if something has gone wrong and I should shutdown/restart and try again.

[JBHuskers]

Just turn the power off for a while
