I'm really curious to know your opinion Hacker News. Is this a good way to live with Windows 7 now? It seems to be open-source, easy to apply, it disables telemetry and Windows 10 crap.
Any better alternatives?

- electrotype 11y agoAnd why those?
- daveguy 11y agoShutup10 gets rid of the nagware, anti-beacon stops the phone home.
- 21 11y agoThis seems to disable 51 updates from installing. That is quite a list. Some of the updates are blocked for other issues than privacy - one of them for example is a graphics stack security update which is blocked because it broke some older games. This reminds me of the older "registry cleaner" apps which are highly debatable.
- beeboop 11y agoConsidering it stops updates to IE, I would never recommend that. I only ever use IE if I'm on some ancient (often government) website that doesn't seem to work in FF/Chrome, but even the default IE homepage (Is it still MSN?) has ads, which means a very real possibility of malware infections. The risk of being one TMZ page away from a malware infection is too much IMO.
