I know it's not a popular opinion, but they do the right thing.
Fragmentation of windows versions is a huge problem, and this approach is the lesser evil.
I liked Windows 7 best (who doesn't?), but I'm using Windows 10 exclusively now because rolling release is the only viable model.
- joelthelion 10y agoYou know another way they could increase Windows 10 adoption? By making it better, not worse, than past offerings. Adware baked into my OS? No thanks.
- seanp2k2 10y agoBut it has DX12 which is what your games crave. Also, Linux subsystem is neat and you can get powershell (great for disabling all the spyware they include which doesn't have any GUI controls).
- andai 10y agoI think the problem is while they certainly made it better in many ways, they also made it worse in arguably more important ways (disrespecting the user).
- kbart 10y agoRolling release is sure the right way to go as you can't support all versions ever released forever, but the problem is, that MS doesn't provide viable alternative anymore after Windows 7. I paid for Windows 7 as the OS I own, so why should I accept some adware/spyware ridden bullshit known as Windows 10 instead?
- quickben 10y ago"because rolling release is the only viable model." Well in their eyes, ads and data mining on an already paid system are also in the same vein it seems. For some of us, moving to Linux is becoming the lesser evil.
