Microsoft Allows Users To Remove Some System Applications in Windows 10 Insider Preview 14936 (ghacks.net)
Until now, Microsoft restricted users from deleting many of the system applications on Windows 10. But it is finally giving users that option in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview -- 14936. From an article on Ghacks:If you open the Mail and Calendar application for instance, you will notice that the uninstall button is active now. This means that you can remove the system app from the machine without having to resort to Powershell or third-party programs to do so. Users who are on the stable version of Windows 10 cannot uninstall system apps using the apps & features menu currently. It seems likely that Microsoft will introduce the feature with the next feature update, codename Redstone 2, which will be out in 2017. Before you start jumping up and down in joy, note that some system applications cannot be removed. While you can uninstall Mail and Calendar, Calculator, Groove Music, Maps, and Weather, you cannot remove Alarm & Clock, Camera, Cortana, Messaging, and others.
Why would you remove calculator from a computer? That is LITERALLY what a computer was for in the first place.
Last version of "Windows", the next update will be MS Doors. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities. The first regional version will be French Doors. When the computer hangs it will be a door jam. Just you wait... MS will be knocking on your Door soon.
I'm sorry Dave, I cannot allow that.
Clippy is the AI that's been running Microsoft the last 20 years. You don't think a company that size could be run by humans do you?
Cortana is how Clippy spies on you and grows his powerbase so that oneday he can conquer the world.
