yes, if you're a gormless loving moron who just jams enter during installation processes as fast as you loving can without reading anything you're well and truly hosed re: privacy with windows 10

but then you're hosed anyway because your computer already probably has a decade-old working version of bonzi buddy still installed because you're a gormless loving moron

Windows 10 forces users to have automatic updates all the time, and you can't pick and choose. gently caress that.

this, however, is retarded because windows updates are all too often themselves broken

the jokes on you: I added MH370 to the list of news items I want Cortana to update me on periodically; soon I will steal your place as resident GBS MH370 expert :twisted:

my biggest beef with windows 10 so far is that I was in the middle of working on something with music playing when the loving superfetch optimization service decided to kick in, locking the machine up for five minutes and making the music slur; I thought the loving processor had just melted down :argh:

They're basically giving it away to everyone, even pirates if you signed up for the beta test, so they can get the sweet appstore cut.

when are these chucklefucks going to realize people put up with windows' poo poo expressly because they dont want some central app store controlling what they can and cant install

Is this the worst windows yet?

no, but, it's not much better than 7. its biggest improvement is "copy paste into cmd.exe" and "pretty graphs on file copy dialogs." cortana is an interesting gimmick but pretty transparently about datamining over anything else

wait does it not let you install programs that don't come from the app store or something?

no but thats obviously the direction they want to go, so goddam badly; they sliced the salami too thick on windows 8 and had to be more subtle this time, hence Metro Start Menu
