Telemetry is dead, the MS store is dead, Cortana is dead. and so I don't have to worry about forced updates and reboots in the middle of doing stuff.

I was able to install and cripple as much of the malware as possible.

when a new build saw me forced to update under protest.īut I'd done my research.

I held out on Windows 7 on my main gaming/work PC until Jan 2019. followed by slowly polluting the lower layers with top-level concerns and breaking security :(. Sure, that's not great for the systems I work on, which need to be secure and performant - but for an end-user device it's a justifiable approach, not dissimilar to Apple who had the brains to take an extant good-quality bottom layer then bolt on a friendly top-layer. the perceived OSS 'bottom-up' approach of 'make it securely functional, then usable, the pretty'. One should note, however, that Microsoft is coming at this 'top-down' as in 'make it amazing & pretty, then worry about function and security' vs.

Oddly enough, proprietary operating systems don't fare well. Yep! It's very nice to be working on a large migration from Windows to atm., all the years of being a Microsoft Mushroom are finally coming home to roost now that I've worked my way up to having significant influence into the technology decisions for large-scale projects. Or even forget that I already have a useful programme because it has a name that rings no bells. *I might know what it's called and what it does on the day I install it, and will do if I use it frequently, but if not, then 6-12 month on I'll be trying to remember what the programme is called that did such and such. Neither do I want my desktop filled with hundreds of icons in bewildering array as an alternative. (No I don't want a link to the url of your poxy web site in my start menu thank you very much). (Pale Moon/Firefox) or that now gets put in the damn stupid alphabetic start menu under the publisher's name rather than the functional name (F for Fairstar CD ripper, than C for CD ripper) and then needs significant IT skill to move into a sensible location and remove the irrelevant crapola that gets installed there with it.

Particularly useful when the software publisher gives their programme a bloody stupid name that offers no clue to what it actually does*. all graphics programmes or all programmes needed to prepare for Monday's regular meeting. Being able to easily group icons for programmes that had a similar function or role e.g. Win 3.1 had some design concepts that still make sense. Again I've had this on my Linux box since 2000, and it was probably there before. Multiple items in your clipboard only came 2 years ago. I find a WIndows interface so primitve compared to a Linux interface. Click on one if the small squares and you are at another desktop (4 in my case). On my Linux box, there is a nice little window on the task bar, with four small squares. The other reason, is it a faff to get to the other desktops. I've been using mulitple desktops on Linux since 2000. Don't forget that IE didn't support mulitple tabs for many years after other browers had them. Windows users aren't used to such inovations, as they come very late late. I think the mulitple desktop idea isn't used much for two reasons. I found SP3 slowed the XP boxes down too much, and don't forget it introduced the annoying Windows Genuine Advantage - I never found Windows to be an advantage :)

'I thought Windows XP SP2 was adequate, but maybe I have low standards or am forgetting how to count.' I've been using Linux for quite a few years now and only see an MS OS (XPSP3) on a VM for some very specific software I use once every blue moon. The line above fits in the headline of any article on Windows OSs written between 19, spare none albeit being a bit more lenient with respect to XPSP3. 'Most of the things Microsoft said would be great were not.' Now I only run Linux on my rigs with XP on a VirtualBox (isolated from the web) for when I need it for some very specific software I run once in a blue moon. I've seen and had to wrestle with quite a bit from and about MS operating systems over the 20+ years I had to deal with them. I ran on MS OSs for many years, from DOS 6.0 onwards through 3.0, 3.11 and all the versions of W95/98/NT/2000/XP with the exception of Me and for six or seven years made a living from doing first tier support duty at a federal government office.
