There is more to it than spying guys.
For one thing many of us think Windows 7 looks nicer.
And stuff like a prompt to setup or log into an email to get on your OS ?
Uhmm no thanks.
My primary complaint has always been about the OS doing what i need and want from it.
I have 0 interest in Cortana.. start screen crap and gay little app's or being spied on or forced updates etc.
And the butt ugly UI
EDIT: Start Menu advertising.
So what does that mean for me ?
It means i have far faaaar more modding to do with a fresh install of Windows 10.
Unlike most of you that are served garbage and like it.. as is.
First thing i do when i install windows 7 is mod a ton of crap from services to UI elements.
I add my own custom hacks such as an XP style quick launch and custom theme stuff.
So for windows 10 it means there is less customization options and far more work to do
..to get it how I want it ..the end user who is stuck using it !
I hear fanboys say it's great.. yeah, for YOU !
And out of box.
I don't do OOB ..no thanks.
I also don't want to bend over backwards undoing a huge pile of crap they did that to me was a regression and not an upgrade or improvement.
MS has had a long track record of fumbling around changing things radically pissing people off.
I got banned back when the Win8 start menu drama was going down on Neowin.net..
I posted stuff like this comment and i was perma-banned for "Trolling"
I heard all the users chant it's not coming back so shut up.. then it came back ROFL
Bit late i was banned as a troll.
If i was a troll then why did they put it back ?
Customer is always right ?
MS does what ever it wants and many of you defending Win 10 now will be bitching about MS in years about how they changed the stuff they added now.
Seems to be a younger generation willing to accept non stop radical changes.. they seem to relish in it all.
I used to be a beta / alpha tester back in the day and after WIn7 i just couldn't do it anymore.
MS has little Millennial brat monkey's at the helm throwing shit at the wall hoping something will stick because they are slipping in popularity.
And fortunately for them there are contrarians and brats looking for a cause to fight for online.
A ready made group who are waiting for a cause to defend and fight for and WIN10 serves it to them.
The type of clueless little shits that want to be edgy and are are worried about what others think etc.
Kids should not be in charge of the direction and functionality of my OS.
I was using a computer before most of them were even born.
Why do i give two shits what little kids think of Windows ?
Where were you when Windows 95 came out ? In Diapers shitting your pants ?
Windows 10 is a continuation of the pandering to a specific demographic.
Rather than adding customization they are hard at work stripping it away.
The days of Windows being a focus to the modders and overclockers etc from the early 2000's are long gone.
Back in the day WE were the demographic.. now companies want to snag the large crowd of less intelligent users for larger profits which creates pandering for money.
Plenty of people see what i see too... here is a random comment from someone.
Windows 10's inevitable failure goes well beyond the smartphone-oriented dumbed-down UI and "apps". How convenient that you're overlooking forced Windows Updates, forced Cortana integration, forced telemetry, major updates that can break the entire OS because they're equivalent to an upgrade install, advertising built into the OS, and a whole host of bugs, glitches, quirks and oddities.
