If you are using it for a DVR service, it's no longer live tv, right?
Right? Or am I missing something there. I've tried a lot of different
ways of getting media, most work pretty well but none were as hands
off/automated as when I was doing Media Center with a capture card using
their scheduler.

Back to confusing email...who hates Microsoft but they have the best

When I was using it as my media center, everyone had this boner for
SageTv so I tried it. If that was it's best competitor, MS had nothing to
worry about. The Xbox One has the best media delivery on the market. No
question. Their HBO, Showtime etc apps are second to none. The DirecTv
and Dish receivers, whose sole job is to deliver that content, are still
stuck in the '90s. The Xbox One is the best purchase I have made in the
last 5 years and I don't even really game on it. A few kids games and
that's about it.

Eff you, JC. Media center is
AWESEOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no better DVR that exists. At all.
I use an xbox 360 extender to get live and recorded tv to my downstairs,
good to know that still exists on the xbone.
PS: Eff you, JC.

I use google now on my phone. It's soooo far from being real time it's
insane. I just don't use it because it will feed me info that is
yesterday's weather, articles that trended last week. It's useful if it's
not timely. Also, IT decides what it feeds me. With a live tile, I
pin/unpin my interests. Google just suggests crap and more often than not,
I don't want what they are suggesting.

Google Now beats the crap out of tiles imho. But I just figured out
that if I unpin all the tiles I can resize the start menu to delete that
waste of space.
Now If I can get the all apps section to go in it's place I might not
hate it.

Weather, headlines etc. I don't have to go to the full web page because

was already going to start for something else and got a quick update.
It's
more efficient for me. I wouldn't have thought to go see the information
that I use it for but now I have it. If it is that important, I just
click
the tile and it gives me more info.

The tiles are stupid. They only make sense as live tiles showing
web information. And as I said I already have a
browser.open.all.the.time. Why would I go to start to go back to the
browser I was just in? And so if they are for static applications they
jsut take up to much space.

Go to all apps. It took me a while to get used to but I really do
like it. Your tiles are your most frequently used. You can change it to
what ever you like and group them differently.

Half of the start menu is live tiles full of things I get in on

And trying to find something in the all app view is just
annoying. Maybe it's the letters like I don't know how the alphabet
works
or something. I like normal folder structure, it works. It's why I
spend
most of my windows time in file explorer.

So got 10 running on gaming pc this weekend. Fresh installed
after it activated. The new nvidia win10 drivers seem to work for
me in
sli np. My sound is still dead so I ordered a xonar card (and not
a new
mobo/cpu combo like I came close to doing).
Con's so far;
Cortana is worthless. It's bing desktop search, so it barely
works.. File Explorer search is faster and actually finds things.
Still tons of fighting stupid little "We know best" crap like
auto reboots.
The new MS Browser the HMS Shittastic!
Tons of MS bloatware BS. MS Fitness, MS News, MS Get Office now
(even though you already ahve office isntalled).
I still don't like the new start menu. It's far better than 8,
but still less useful than 7.
When creating new install Media the langue defaults to Chechen
(I think). Not really MS's fault, but be warned if you create a
Chechen
install USB you cannot change it to English during the install.
Pro's;
MS seems to have pulled video drivers from autoupdate. I got
"basic MS Video Driver" that never updated. I could install the
Geforce
experience for Win10 and then drivers from that with no problems.
half a
dozen reboots and a few check for updates and MS never tried to F
me.
Almost all my other drivers installed with windows. Really the
install media process self updates so I had everything up to date
on the
first boot almost. It was only missing my sound driver and the
software
portions of my network/BT/Sata drivers. All of that and my
Chipset, intel
video and even my addon extra USB3 card worked fine on the first
boot.
