What?
NO. Just no.
This doesn't "anticipate the things I need". It doesn't "anticipate" anything. It's not "the things I need", it's whatever MS decides to promote.
There's a vaguely similar feature, that would be vaguely defensible - but this isn't it. This is malware, plain and simple.
- titanix2 9y agoTotally agree. My computers are my things and should be under my control only. That’s why I’m wary of Win 10 which forces system replacement, install softwares without consent, display advertisements, can preload UWP apps in memory, etc. All this things might be an acceptable comprise on mobile for some people (which include myself) but is a big no go on anything desktop or server class. My harware is not here to be part of someone else botnet. If MS wants my money, let’s make good product without subscription and let me pay for it. I would be glad to pay 20 to 50€ for Visual Studio if it encourages user friendly business practices.
- keithnz 9y agoyour computer is your thing, install whatever OS you like. If you want a non consumer experience and want windows, go with a server product. People are never gonna be happy with change. Not so long ago they took paint (which they insisted on us having whether we wanted it or not) out of the base install of their "botnet / malware" and people lost their shit. Now windows dynamically asks you whether you want a program and people are again losing their shit. In both cases it's microsoft making a call on what apps are on your machine. In both cases you can uninstall them.
