How can an OS that freezes older games be better?
In my opinion, an Operating System should support software, not the other way around (software nowadays must be created to run on the target OS like Win10).
The OS should function as a bridge between your software package and the hardware and make it run stable and with the least amount of effort.
With all these compatibility settings and such, it has become a pain to get something properly installed.
I remember GTA 4 which just failed to run on my system.
After searching, it appeared that half the globe had to use different compatibility settings to get that game to run.
The OS should just run it and auto-detect the compatibility for it to run or whatever. Just run it. Not let us re-install the same game 10 times to get it to run at least once.
Microsoft is apparently doing everything they can to kill old stuff because every new OS they launch kills more and more older software packages.
I had a few nice packages too (CuteFTP and Eudora) to upload files to my website and to read my email and it ran perfectly fine on every OS up to windows Vista.
From windows 7 onwards, both packages just fail to run. I had to use other packages.
Stay away from Win10 as it has alot of problems AFAIK.
You see complaints popping up everywhere about Win10.
Why do they release it for free? Because it's a fail release.
I'm sticking to Win7 and I won't upgrade, even if they pay me to do it.
