Hi All,
I don't know if you heard but, Microsoft is stopping Windows 7 support for Skylake systems on July 17th 2017.
My feeling is that if Microsoft is willing to kick it's Enterprise customers where it hurts to force Windows 10 on everyone, there isn't much we can do that they are likely to care about. They just bit the hand that feeds them. Let's hope the Enterprise customers bite back.
I was speaking with a programmer friend, someone I really respect, about all this, and he made the point that even if Microsoft hired back all of their software testers, they couldn't come close to catching as many bugs as the telemetry is going to catch. I'd rather a slightly buggy system and keep my privacy, but it is something to think about.
I just bought a copy of Windows 10 Education, which allows disabling telemetry, and PARIS and the new ASIO driver are working perfectly so far. I have more testing to do, but so far so good. I'm in the camp of PARIS users that like to stay on current CPUs, so the Skylake thing is a problem for me staying on Windows 7 forever, as much as what Microsoft is doing makes me sick.
I'm thinking really hard about switching to a Mac depending on what they release this spring. If a quad core mac mini comes out, I think my Windows days may be numbered, except to dual boot for PARIS. Even then, I keep thinking about a Mac driver so I can be rid of Microsoft once and for all. Would anyone be interested in that? One would need to spend a fair bit of money on thunderbolt expansion and a PCI expansion chassis. And, it would take a few years.
The ASIO is coming along really well. I'm about half way done the control panel, and then it's done. It's the home stretch. I'm also working on a scherzo update.
Hope all is well with everyone!
Mike
