>>59081397
Neither does Windows. Windows 8(.1) is objectively superior to Windows 7.

>>59081294

This, while Microsoft has skull fucked the UI the NT kernel has had some decent work done to it since Windows 7. its much more lightweight (can compress itself down to 256mb of ram) while still keeping pretty good compatibility with programs built in Windows 7

>>59081435
Since when is UI more important than backend ?

>>59081457
You want to change something because its better, sure, ill go for it, hell I may even like it.

You want to move shit around just so it looks new so retards wont complain they they pay for the same thing over and over again, then no, fuck you and your god damn change its not wanted. Reminds me of that material design shit google loves but it completely fuckes the browser hard... sadly much like windows, I don't have much choice as everything is chrome based anymore and firefox committed suicide.

>>59081545
It was changed for the better, Aero is ugly design.

when the ui gets in the way of every single thing you do to the point you spend more time fucking around with it then you would save by increased potential productivity.

And two, I'm talking about every menu changing just enough that you have to relearn where every setting you may want to have access to is. oh what's this, something that use to be in power management is now in network management and the other part sound management? fantastic, i get to spend every single day googling issues that I use to know the exact answers to because someone decided if they didn't move shit around people would think they bought the exact same os again.

i would never knowingly use an OS that punishes me for trying to install software from outside of the windows store

You can use those drivers on any z270 motherboard, you don't have to buy ASRock to use them

Apple doesn't retain IP addresses from users' devices. Spotlight blurs the location on the device so it never sends an exact location to Apple. Spotlight doesn't use a persistent identifier, so a user's search history can't be created by Apple or anyone else. Apple devices only use a temporary anonymous session ID for a 15-minute period before the ID is discarded.

Assuming you mean windows 7 but regardless, Linux is less than 2% of the market with regards to consumers. I can imagine Linux support will come with Ryzen Opterons.

if AMD wants any server market share Linux support is going to be day 1. Desktop Ryzen already has support on mainstream Linux

If there's critical bugs in the BRAND NEW silicon you won't be getting a microcode update on Windows 7 to fix them. Fuck you AMD. You just cut a vast majority of potential sales to please Microshit - they must have 'compensated' AMD well.

>>59083407
Does the processor no long work with Windows 7 after microcode updates?

>>59083427

That isn't the issue. The processor will work with Windows 7. If, however, there is a nasty bug in the design of the CPU that has been discovered, a microcode update can work around the issue and alleviate any instability. If you're on Windows 10 you'll be fine when you receive the updated microcode. If you're on Windows 7, you ain't getting shit. Say hi to random bluescreens or features/instructions that could crap out your OS.

>>59081294
I will use Windows 10... actually scratch that, I will use any OS, if it comes with an actual female that I can use for whatever purpose I wish.

Linux shills, I just need one female willing to give up their body for "my freedom". I'll even use a Mac, even though god forbid I have zero idea why someone would normally use one. Shills, you know what you have to do.

>>59083471
That's my point, you can still use another OS to install microcode updates and boot back into Windows 7. You just can't use Windows 7 to install the microcode updates.

Why the fuck is everyone so surprised about this? In the TOS they literally say you can't turn it off the spying. And you can't say most users didn't read it either because some of the options literally say there is no option to turn them fully off, both in the OS and in the installation process.

You literally agree to this when you install and it flat out tells you, so I don't know why so many people are shocked that it keeps their promise.

You do know microcode patches are not permanent and is reset to the factory microcode each time you reset your computer? This is why you rely on motherboard manufacturers to release BIOS updates with the new code. If the motherboard manufacturer can't get support from Intel or AMD to include microcode updates for Windows 7, how are you going to apply it? Linux updates bundle microcode into the boot-loader because every time the computer is booted it loads the new microcode patch.

>>59083675

I would appreciate if the latest Gentoo install came with a free girl you could chose from a list, kinda like how you could chose different motherboards for your CPU. Speaking of which, I am willing to shill and show full brand loyalty to either Intel/AMD if they are willing to do the same.

>>59083745
I think there could be some sort of compromise, what if the girl was brainwashed by an evil corp to be your gf?

>>59083818
You are thinking into the land of fantasy. Intel and AMD are having trouble getting past 10mm. How on earth will they ever get that good at brainwashing a bunch of girls? It has to be a mass public thing, otherwise I am an unlucky NEET that will just be yelling at why it couldn't be me.

>>59083867
So you think it would be easier for them to give you literal slaves instead of brainwashing the girls to lust for neckbeard NEETs?

>>59083867
It's easier to brainwash people than to manufacture processors with a 7nm process. Just look at Charles Manson, he did it singlehandedly

>>59083897
Yes. You really think for a minute that a girl will lust for a NEET? You realize the extensive training that would entail? We are like the opposite of what ever girl wants.

You do realize that just like with any other component manufacturers, it's the vendors themselves who are in charge of what OSs get supported. The same way a vendor can chose to support Windows 7 on an Intel board despite Intel themselves not supporting 7 they can chose to support 7 on an AMD board regardless of what AMD does.
