@Dashrender Experience dealing with them (at least the Rochester representatives).

@DustinB3403 I haven't had any issues with Ring Central - for myself or clients. Their software for iOS for my cell phone has been pretty excellent as well. Maybe you've had bad experiences? Maybe you don't like their pricing?

Vendor lock in, pricing, support response times (and attitude), sales tactics.

All around they just suck.

Replying to @scottalanmiller's private messages. They are just a little older than one year.

Sorry guys, was busy with ... stuff and... more stuff and other things and so on. I try to be here more often again in the future.

Welcome back @thwr.

LIES! Get back in your corner @thwr

@scottalanmiller That's cool. I agree with you. Verizon is a newbie which is why I wasn't thrilled with their choice. It says that voip.ms has 75,000 customers. Ring Central in contrast has over 2 million "users." It's weird that in all the years I've never heard of voip.ms when evaluating different service providers.

Ring Central is almost as bad as Verizon, avoid them at all costs.

I understand that; do you think i have much of a choice in what I get to use?

Yes, use the laptop as your only device. Forget about this crappy desktop.

That's my only option if I want to use Windows 10.

Well using Windows 7 isn't an option (regardless of whatever your business is doing and selling). Since neither your employer or the software developers aren't able to do anything for Windows 7.

I would assume they'd have migrated to more modern OS's but I'm not surprised.

I just want to build something for testing

Okay, thank you for the clarification. To ask a followup, is a lab worth spending a few additional thousand on for SSD arrays? Or spending even more for more modern equipment?

I personally would just use what I had unless there was an obvious reason that I had to spend the money.

Windows on the other hand is meant for the masses, and those tools would be unused by 95% or more.

Have you ever used Windows? Every day we make our money helping people use Windows because it isn't simple or obvious. Everything about it is hard, unnecessarily hard. You just forget because you have memorized how to do things.

The masses are exactly who Windows isn't for at all. ChromeOS, that's for the masses.

OH no - I completely agree with you Scott - It is hard, way harder than it needs to be.
don't take my comment as a bash on Linux distros... only on the specific comment that I was replying to, and why the lack of the mentioned tools don't matter.

So you're saying a system shouldn't have functionality because said functionality isn't heavily used? How many people using Windows 10 Pro are using the any of the bloatware that we are regularly using unfuckafy scripts to clean up windows?

yeah pretty much!

As for the bloatware - come on - I didn't create the program, but I'm sure you know why that shit is there. If there is any Admin type bloatware included, please feel free to inform me of such.

Administrative software and bloatware are not the same thing. XBox on Windows 10 Pro or enterprise makes 0 sense. I can't off hand think of anything that would be administrative and bloatware-esk, I'm sure there is something somewhere but that wasn't the point I was making.

But for what it's worth this is what I see.

I wasn't too thrilled when they picked this option as Verizon is new to VOIP and their software isn't very mature. Haven't heard of voIP.ms but it's not super confidence inspiring when their feature page is rendering weird in chrome...

From a web interface I agree their site needs a face lift, but their offering is rock solid and the pricing is unmatched.
