did we read the same article?
there is no security as it's not your machine, it is under Microsoft's control and now they've been caught installing unwanted crapware with 16 month old vulnerabilities
(not to mention the OS is infested with undisablable adware, spyware and other unwanted uninstallable applications)
lip service to developers (bundled openssh et al.) doesn't hide that the core of the company is now demonstrably rotten
- mschuster91 9y agoYes. This however is an exception when it comes to security issues, I don't really like to think back to the WinXP days when people caught viruses left-and-right. It does happen, of course, but IMHO on a way, way smaller intensity. > (not to mention the OS is infested with undisablable adware, spyware and other unwanted uninstallable applications) This is why I advocate for something like W10 LTSB - free of the experiments, but paid. If I had the option to switch to paid and only get security updates but no "features", I'd do so in an instant. I don't want to be forced to trade privacy for being able to use the OS.
- fencepost 9y ago> the OS is infested with undisablable adware, spyware and other unwanted [non-?]uninstallable applications Can you please provide at least a few citations? I've run ShutUp10 after the installs and upgrades and I don't recall seeing much of anything of what you report.
