    <p>Yeah, AMD marketing was bad this time. But why the hate for AMD Paul?</p>

      Hate. Why on earth use such a term. I don’t “hate” AMD at all.

      This was a marketing disaster. Just stating the obvious.

    <p>I so completely agree with you on Windows 7. I moved to Windows 10 Early on, and there is a lot I like about it, but I'm so tired of the constant pop-ups and nags to log into this, connect to that, use this feature, tell us how you feel, etc. Every so often I get fed up enough to switch to Linux for a few weeks, but always end up back on Windows because it is just easier. I miss the days of the OS being a platform to support the applications and features the user wanted rather than a platform to push crap at you and show how brilliant and trendy UI designers can be.</p>

      Yeah. We’re caught in some awful hamster wheel of Microsoft wanting to further monetize people using a product they paid for years ago.
