Windows 10 is malware according to every definition. I can’t afford to compromise my friend’s and customer’s original material, if I could compress the EULA to within the attention span of gifted musicians I’m sure they would say NO NO NO to me “upgrading” to Windows 10.
I will no longer follow the forced update/upgrade path - when Windows 7/Cubase 8 Pro ceases to be supported I will clone my system and disconnect from the internet.
That’s an interesting thread MrSoundman. I’m sure there will be a growing call for alternatives to M$, especially when folks realise how controlling it has become - W10 is deleting apps it doesn’t like - CPUZ and Speccy to name two that I use. Whose computer is it anyway?
The apps are uninstalled and moved to Windows.old. That does not equal “deleting”. While this is a real issue, the OP is not factual. As far as Linux Cubase, my understanding is that, if man is still alive, and woman can survive, it is coming in the year 2525. Watch for Cubase 452.5, which will be a paid upgrade, to the consternation of users.
You’ve also gotta ask yourself which version of Cubase will be the end of the line for all practical purposes. Which Cubase version will be the one where every new feature is put there for the sake of it?
And to be perfectly clear, it were OLD versions of these tools, which used incompatibke librabries
The current versions (as in since june) work fine and were NOT moved out.
MS actually did you a favor avoiding your system to potentionally BSOD
