Not just Apple with MacBook/macOS. What does a post Windows 10 future look like? So many things are not okay, I simply refuse it and stay with Win7 for some time. Microsoft like Apple doesn't care anymore about power user. Apple still makes at least good iPhone/iPads, MS is worse on everything nowadays (XBox, Surface, WinStore, WinPhone, destroying BIOS with DRM EFI) but paying trolls.
A paradigm shift - desktop gets less and less used, I am hoping for a Android/Fuchsia OS on notebook. Today many things are done on mobile iOS and Android - I just want to connect it to a huge TV/projector/monitor and keyboard and mouse and use it for work too.
- aweb 10y agoI'm sorry but I find this to be a weird assertion when you see how much more detailed Windows 10's Task Manager is, or the fact that you can have a Linux subsystem running on Windows since the summer. What makes you think that MS doesn't care about the power user when all signs point to the contrary?
- XaYdEk 10y agoI'd like an answer too. I'm a Linux guy and Win7 is the last I will ever use personally for my own machines (unless I really need it for work, which case I'll VM it anyway). But my reasons are different, I really don't think they ruined it that much for power users, but it's other details that annoy the hell out of me. Like default online accounts, way too much telemetry data being sent and it still feels like it was designed for a tablet (even Enterprise versions). It is pushing too much for the always-online, always-connected computing experience, which feels like turning PCs back into terminals. @aweb I dunno, it seems they just moved services and startup from msconfig to the task manager. The Linux subsystem is nice, very nice, actually, the one thing I really liked.
