Samsung: Don't install Windows 10 (theregister.co.uk)

An anonymous reader shares an article on The Register: Samsung is advising customers against succumbing to Microsoft's nagging and installing Windows 10. The consumer electronics giant's support staff have admitted drivers for its PCs still don't work with Microsoft's newest operating system and told customers they should simply not make the upgrade. That's nearly a year after Microsoft released Windows 10 and with a month to go until its successor -- Windows 10 Anniversary Update -- lands. Samsung's customers have complained repeatedly during the last 12 months of being either unable to install Microsoft's operating system on their machines or Windows 10 not working properly with components if they do succeed. However, with the one-year anniversary fast approaching it seems neither of these tech giants have succeeded in solving these persistent problems.

    It's an even release, so it sucks. Wait until Windows 11 is out.

    You might think: Wait a minute, it was supposed to be Windows 9, an odd release that doesn't suck. That's right, but Microsoft has planned so much for this release to suck that they decided it would be more appropriate to make it an even release. So there you go, don't install it!

    And don't tell me I didn't tell you so when you upgrade anyway and ads start flying all over your desktop or you're stuck in an involuntary update loop...
