Starting new topic on all things Microsoft Windows 11........ Reason 3,995 to hold off on that Windows 11 upgrade: Iffy performance on AMD silicon While not yet listed on Microsoft's known issues dashboard for Windows 11, AMD has come out and said that there's a performance penalty when running "certain applications." |

The problem lies with the new Intel Thread Director scheduler that Microsoft is trying to implement for the new big.LITTLE Alder Lake cpus coming out. The fact that it hamstrings AMD cpus is just a bonus for Intel and gives them a chance to reclaim the performance crown with the gimped AMD cpus because of the scheduler.

Intel is losing out on their chip designs AND the silicon they can use, and so...? Intel is baaack to the bad old days of Naughty Intel dastardly sabotage?... (To the greater cost of everyone else around...) For the 'back story', see: Naughty Intel to now behave?

Hell freezes over again?... Hi Martin, I'm currently running the v5.4 Linux kernel. Since moving all but my gaming over to Linux, I have been reading from and writing to NTFS formatted drives. Now just because something is proprietary doesn't mean that Linux and open-source developers can't reverse-engineer it or finagle some way of using it... Is this why I have been able to? I don't get it, why bother messing up the Kernel with Micro$oft crap? Have a great day! :-) Siran CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

Hell freezes over again?... Yes... There have been two versions of user-side 'utilities' (using "FUSE" to interface into the kernel) that had been 'reverse engineered' for access to NTFS disks. Those utilities worked but didn't include all the features for all the functions included in NTFS itself. Regardless, they were very useful. This latest effort is where some proprietary code from a support company (Paragon) has been (extensively) tidied up to now be included into the kernel (5.15) directly, for expanded features and increased performance. Very good and very much a good surprise. Good things can happen, even if a lot of patience is needed. Enjoy!

When M$ introduced Windows 10 they made a promise that they wouldn't be playing the numbers game any more. 10 was it, there would just be monthly upgrades and patches for ever more. If you ever wanted evidence that M$ lies through its teeth, well here you are with Windows 11. I am still running Win 7 on my gear and I have no plans to change. Win 8 & 8.1 were just a joke nobody took them seriously. Millennium was just ridiculous. Win 10 comes with most stuff these days, and when I bought a s/h laptop it had it on it. But of course the very first thing I did was to download Classic shell. The happiest days of my life was running Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and MSDOS 6.22. You could edit system .ini and win.ini and autoexec.bat. And if you were good enough get 685k of UMB memory. Some programs loaded big but ran small. You were in charge not M$. Gates lost it for me when he said why would anyone want more than 640K? IBM should have persevered with OS2, we had a mail server running that OK. |

Has anyone noticed the way they are doing it the version numbers it's like they forgot to change the 1st 2 digits from 10 to 11. Or is it just me?

IBM should have persevered with OS2. They did in a sense when eComStation took over OS/2 Warp development. I ran eComStation for ten years after IBM threw in the towel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EComStation Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Ah yes, dear IBM. Thomas Watson, president of IBM, said in 1943 "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” |

Some programs loaded big but ran small. You were in charge not M$.Don't forget config.sys ... And you can still fully configure some Linux systems with nothing more than a mere txt editor, in pretty much the same way as in the days of DOS and WfW3.11. However... We now have a fork in the good cause of 'who' is in control or your system and whether whatever system is yours at all... Welcome to the new world of "systemd" (convoluted obscure binary coded configs) and "TPM" and "Digital Linux being linux, there are still freely available distros where you the user are still in total control of your own system.

I just installed Windows 11 on a laptop with a Ryzen 5 4500U with graphic capabilities. I don't see any worsening in times relative to Windows 10, but I am not making any precise calculations. As long as the BOINC tasks complete and validate, that is OK for me. Tullio |

Out of curiosity which way is easier to upgrade. Is it easier through Windows update or using the media creation tool?
