I just found out we will be getting "upgraded" to windows 10 at work soon. Ugh, seriously? We JUST went through a PC upgrade. First, we got new PCs, and they imaged our old PCs with XP to the "new" PCs. Then we got an in-place upgrade to 7. Then we got new PCs again, twice actually. They keep switching out our PCs for "newer" models but they are always base models with like 2GB of ram and a 5200rpm spindle drive. So each time we have to fight to get more ram, a SSD etc. And each time it's an image. So we have this old image with collected junk from all the other PCs over the years. It's a messy installation.
Now to add insult to injury they want to upgrade us to Windows 10. That is not even an office/productivity OS, no idea why they are even considering it in an office environment. Windows 8 and 10 are basically play toys for tablets and full of ads and spy stuff etc. If I ran a corporation I would not want that near my network. I would stick with Windows 7 for as long as possible and if nothing comes in the pipe line to replace it I would be looking at Linux based corporate offerings like Suse or what not. Half our stuff is running in some sort of VM or Citrix anyway, because it's not compatible with 7, let alone 10 lol.
I don't get what the company is thinking sometimes with these PC life cycle projects, they spend way more money and effort for nothing to achieve no extra productivity.
I'm just glad I'm not IT because I'd be stuck actually doing the upgrades. That's got to be a nightmare.
