[hpsdr] Windows 10

[Erik van Maanen]

I installed windows 10 today on my lenovo T400 (6GB memory) as update 
from windows 7 pro OEM.
Installation took 2,5 hours from DVD, I used a prepared harddisk with a 
copy of the system I normally use so I can go back easily swapping disks.
I did all comparison an testing on the same disk

- Powersdr latest version works but some menu items look weird, 
processor and memory use are about the same.
- VAC 4.10 + spectran works
- kiss console works but also here weird screen behaviour
- hpsdr programmer works
- cusdr doesn't work, complains about opengl 2.0 not available, 
installed the latest display driver, problem not solved
- HDSDR with hermes extio works but some other extio dls do not work

After some tweaking the desktop can be made really acceptable.
Startup time is 9 minutes instead of the 5 minutes with windows 7.
Overall feeling with all programs is slow.
System installs programs by itself without asking.
Has more bloatware than windows 7.
I suggest you to read the EULA, for me this is a privacy no go.
Specific updates cannot be disabled and even you disable al telemetry it 
still sends hardware data to microsoft.

Nice experiment and now quickly back to windows 7, I hope in 5 years we 
have a proper linux port of powersdr.
