Now with more ads, spyware, constant logging of everything you do to Microsoft, and telemetry!
No thanks. I guess MS wants to cede the entire high-end market to Apple and Linux and re-position themselves as a bargain basement low-end vendor of spyware ridden junk.
- largote 11y agoThe high-end market is mostly gamers, which is 95%+ Windows.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoMicrosoft's Windows Store/UWP push has scared some game developers, most notably causing Valve to make a Linux version of Steam and their own OS. A concerted effort by the games industry could see Windows's market share fall there.
- shostack 11y agoJust got my new laptop with Win10 because I'm a gamer. That was pretty much the only reason. If they ever pull shit with Steam, are proven to have mishandled my data as part of the telemetry bullshit (well, the stuff I couldn't disable, because I spent half an hour trying to turn off all the various settings I could), or ever force Windows into a subscription model, I'm done with gaming on Windows for good and I'll suffer through the Linux gaming experience. Hopefully by that point there will be enough weight behind it to make switching an easy choice.
