How about they fix the absolute core issues of the OS before releasing more "features" no body wants?
The horrific stability of explorer, task manager not having any power at all, wireless is still heavily broken, updates taking half an hour or more, the constant resetting of file associations, the broken offline files feature, airplane mode doesn't work (i have a picture of a surface in airplane mode, connected to a wifi access point and having working internet access with teamviewer)
They are skipping the terrible user interface problems and adding features that no one gives a fuck about.
Fix the stupid resolution scaling issues. Fix the massive issues with surface's, they OWN FUCKING HARDWARE.
Moderation - in other words changing scores doesn't impact on your free speech.
You have the freedom to say whatever you want, and you won't get arrested for it.
However, that doesn't stop the community from looking at what you are saying and thinking "this guy is a tool" and hiding your speech. Deleting a shitty thing you type isn't censorship, it's just the world saying "you can say whatever you want, but we don't like it, so cya"
Freedom of speech allows you to say anything you want, it doesn't mean it prevents people from saying "get the fuck out".. which by the way is ALSO freedom of speech.
You fucking assholes Microsoft. You make shit operating systems, then charge people for the right to use them? Where is the value? Where is the privacy? I own my PC. You don't. Windows 7 is my last operating system from microsoft, and you will pry it from my cold dead hands. DaaS? Who do you think you are, approving and dissaproving on what "I" want to use on "MY" pc. I am not your employee. I am not your contractor, i do NOT have to change the way I use my PC to make sure YOUR profit margins are fat. Fuck you and your cloud "your PC is on OUR domain, so we control it completely, oh and please pay us" you can shove it up your fucking ass.
Its worth it. I hope that enough people will be dis-satisfied with the shitty UI and data harvesting of windows 10 and go to this. I wonder if it can succesfully join a windows domain?
You try to be legal and buy your music and videos, but there are always things fucking you around. Warnings on dvds about piracy. You just cant press play. Music services injecting ads, and killing of disk space...bizarre limitation on how long tv and movies stay on streaming services. Ads even AFTER you pay, and then they advertise ad free services that you pay extra for.. AND STILL GET ADS.
Piracy will continue while its more convenient to do so.
Like its terrible wifi performance, its shitty printer subsystem, the fact that most updates revert to "Defaults" which always seem to favour microsoft, and the general terrible shit that windows 10 does, maybe they could package Windows 7 in a UWP!!!
Do they understand that if they charge google for including search results, google will just totally drop that source, effectively killing that pages revenue?
Or do they have their heads so far up their asses they dont care?
You know what im removing now from a windows 10 machine? PUPS. "search protect" fake antivurii, fake popups, warning messages about "YOUR MICROSOFT COMPUTER" etc etc
Not loading signed kernel drivers isn't going to stop that!! Only running linux will!
Its not your computer anymore. You don't have the choice anymore. Its microsoft's way. You are on their domain, subject to their policies, reselling your search data, subject to their whims and desires. You are produce. You are no longer a consumer, you are even LESS then that now.
I have had two customers of large businesses say to me "get the fucking windows 10 bullshit of the machines and put windows 7 on so we can actually get work done"
Running around with his fingers in his ears, going "LA LA LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU" when people say to him "you are making stupid decisions, alienating your user base and generally fucking about in a bad way'
Its like.. they forgot their core business, and now all they care about is shitty little apps making money.
They cant even get the app store in windows 10 working properly and it breaks at every opportunity that requires a windows re-installation all because they don't even bother testing their patches. Skype barely works, they still haven't fixed its terrible user interface and the difference between close, exit and quit. Office 2016 still uses the office 2007 control panel interface with its broken font scaling.
Microsoft has utterly lost its shit. All they care about is the next micro feature in windows, while completely forgetting their entire microcosm is on the brink of falling to pieces.
So their solution is to ignore what people are saying.

Your inability to comprehend something doesn't make it invalid.

Does anyone buy a laptop on "how well it runs Cortana?"
Actually, does anyone ACTUALLY USE the personal assistant?
This is fucking awful.
I bet they wouldn't like it the public got access to THEIR phones, but its ok for them to get access to ours?
Fuckers.
Trump:
Its totally a chinese conspiracy to remove jobs from the american people!
Land of the free?
Hows that working out so far.

Fuck you Microsoft. Fuck you forever.
As you cant RUN anything on them anymore.
So.. windows, where you can not run windows programs.
Its worth it. I hope that enough people will be dis-satisfied with the shitty UI and data harvesting of windows 10 and go to this. I wonder if it can succesfully join a windows domain?
I wonder who the real beneficiaries of this policy really are...
GO AWAY!! im BATING!!

Autoplaying audio on websites? Why are the hell are we regressing!
You moron.
You have lumped perfectly normal healthy adults with child molesters and kiddy porn.
I am sure that's going to end well for you you stupid orange twat.
How is this supposed to help users?

Thanks to this, windows 7 will be my last windows OS.
Im so glad im keeping windows 7. Its just getting worse and worse.
Windows 10 pro is now Windows 10 "public is stupid" edition.
Like the guest account?
The inconsistent UI?
The terribly broken wifi?
No, lets put some more polish on this fucking turd.

Bravo!
Record satisfaction? hahaha
I have had two customers of large businesses say to me "get the fucking windows 10 bullshit of the machines and put windows 7 on so we can actually get work done"
Fuckin microsoft. Windows 7. Every single person bar 1 has told me the same thing "windows 10? its hard to use."
Like that developer humour post on reddit.
A terrible GUI is like a bad joke. If you have to explain it, its not a good GUI at all.
