Windows 10 is the biggest pile of poo since computing started.
I was early into this stuff: After playing with Dragons and Commodores in the... was it the late 70s - I got serious on a Mac SEII in the 80s and for commercial reasons also used MS kit on what we called IBM machines - specifically Windows 3.1 for work stations. So I have enjoyed/suffered Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT and 7, 8 and now 10. Updates have become a way of lie. But not as we know it Jim. I have just suffered the update to end them all - Win 10 does an update and it takes over an HOUR! I have 50 meg so it not the connection. And it doesn't say it will take some minutes as usual. Oh no - its honest and say "It will take a while" Oh sure it does. And yes my PC did re-start several times. (Exactly why?) And then I got to actually use the machine I have bought and paid for but which Win 10 has decided is theirs. not mine!
And what does it do - it lies. It says it is all to keep me safe on line. Lie - I use a proprietary software security package that makes Win Defender look like toffee on a battle tank. And updates in minutes.
But worse - it tell me how to start my machine - Go to Start! And then it tells me to check out all the wonderful apps - bugger off; apps are what you get on mobile crap and are cut down progs designed to do little stuff on small memory. I use program(me)s like I always have. And then it has the cheek to say "Let's get started" - bugger off Microsoft - I'll do what i want on my kit; YOU are the servant her - read it, learn it and do IT!" Oh yeah - and who asked for EDGE? I hate the stupid prog - when i want it I'll seek medical help.
Now, where was that stuff on switching to LINUX...
