As someone who has used windows from 1995 to 1999 and, on my secondary workstation, OSX since 2015: MS is just catching up on what Crapple has been doing for a very long time and thus MS is not as sophisticated when it comes to providing a user friendly experience that comes with telemetry. Install Little Snitch on OSX (app level fw) and you'll have just as many WTF-moments as with Windows 10.

Same difference (see above).
The question boils down to whether UX is more important than privacy for you. If you favor UX, use OSX, if you favor privacy, use a UNIX with a very strict local FW. For me, the answer is to carry two laptops: A small and cheap apple device for fun and a lenovo thingy (don't dare to call it a laptop) for serious work.

- dTal 10y agoI personally hold that self-righteous comments like these contribute far less to the discussion than people expressing their opinion with the full richness that language can provide.
- enraged_camel 10y agoI personally hold that giving companies silly nicknames is juvenile and belongs on shitholes like Reddit. But hey, to each his own.

- jlg23 10y agoI'm so sorry, but I am from Berlin - we talk frankly and don't care about people who are offended by that (btw, the best way to tell a tourist from a Berliner is to watch reactions to our talking). PS: If you read MS as "MickeySoft" as I do, does it help?
- type0 10y agoI think the latest tendency (specially in UK) to be offended by everything is so unhealthy and horrible. But Berlin is one of those cities where I encountered the largest amount of rude and unfriendly locals, sorry to say this but it's my experience. I genuinely curious, is it some kind of northern german thing that gets amplified by virtue of being the capital city? I'm really curious. Actually it made me hesitant on doing business with Berlin based companies.
- pdkl95 10y ago> childish name calling Sometimes that's the best way to express the full weight of an opinion. Diluting the expression changes its meaning. http://ogun.stanford.edu/~bnayfeh/plan.html http://ogun.stanford.edu/~bnayfeh/plan.html
