HA! That's incredibly amusing, considering, you know, Windows 10.
- sneak 8y agoEvery single user-hostile bit of spyware, advertising, and nonsense in Windows 10 was put there on purpose, by more than one person, collaborating specifically to enrich Microsoft and fuck up your computer. It’s not an accident.
- throwaway37585 8y ago> Every single user-hostile bit of spyware... was put there on purpose... specifically to enrich Microsoft. You don’t really believe that, do you?
- tinus_hn 8y agoDo you believe Microsoft forced their ads into the start menu for your benefit and they lose money on it? Some of the problems with Windows 10 may be due to their incompetence but most of it is just greed and their know-it-all attitude.

- egeozcan 8y agoGiven the windows update craziness, I've re-read this part a few times to make sure there's no double negative or sarcasm: > there's absolutely NOTHING on your computer that isn't planned There's LITTLE on my Windows VM that IS planned. I guess that could be said with a straight face only because it was 2005.
- mattigames 8y agoMicrosoft saw Android and iOS getting away with installing whatever they like at whatever time they like for years, and how little users complain about it; so they were seduced by such practices.
- NullPrefix 8y agoCompletely true, however main reason for Android and iOS was Candy Crush on the go, while desktop has different requirements and use cases.
- wycy 8y agoWhat gets installed on iOS that users should complain about?
- jakebasile 8y agoI can easily ignore iOS and macOS updates for as long as I choose. Windows 10 will forcibly update me on shutdown unless I yank the power. Microsoft takes a much more forceful stance.
- tinus_hn 8y agoI don’t know about Android but my iOS devices only install updates to the OS and apps when I tell them to. Not everything is Windows 10 ‘Microsoft decides when you install updates’

- reitanqild 8y agoCandy Crush showing up on a business laptop running Windows Pro or what it is called? Same with login backgrounds for a game a newer wanted, again on my business laptop running Windows Pro? I often defend MS recently because some of the criticism is really over the top. Stupidity like that however should be publicized and questioned IMO.
