Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition is considered a top-notch programming environment... and it's free. It would be the perfect place to put something with built in programming hooks into Minecraft. And... there is already too many people putting too much garbage on devices that people don't need... last thing we need is being loaded down with crap - whether Python, perl or Visual Studios - on a default install of Windows. (Why the F* is Candy Crap included with Windows 10 now? Much less Note and other crap that should be opt-in... not clean install > remove, remove, remove... /rant)

If Candy Crush is installed on your copy of Windows, the OEM got paid for it. A "default" install doesn't have it, although you may see an "ad" for it on the Start Menu which can quickly be removed. Yes, there's way too much colour and movement on the Start Menu in 10.

  Wrong: Candy Crush is getting installed on a "clean" install of windows. Straight from the ISO that is straight from MSDN. No "OEM" involvement. Zero. https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/securedownloads/?#FileId=65870 https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/securedownloads/?#F... Color and movement don't bother me since I use a menu replacement ( https://ninite.com/classicstart/ https://ninite.com/classicstart/ ). I find it less cluttered and, for some strange reason, I have less issues with search.

    I sit corrected, thanks. Odd, Get-AppxPackage -Name king.com.CandyCrushSaga doesn't return anything for me in Powershell
