I hate to make another thread on /g/ for this, but I think this requires discussion.

I mainly use OS X, have a Win7 desktop pc and a few linux distros on various smaller devices like rbpi's.

How come that with every iteration of windows, there are constantly posts and threads on how to disable a bunch of stuff that was added with every update/upgrade? For example, 7 has the annoying stickey keys and such, 8 has the metro crap, that you have to install 3rd party software for to disable it and now windows 10 comes with adware and other things that are annoying.

I never had this problem with OS X versions, of course I felt like tinkering with a few settings, but I never felt like I had to fully disable parts of my OS since it feels annoying, or just violates your privacy. Neither for Linux, even though messing around with that is fun, it basically comes with every annoying thing turned off, since most distros are barebones, not necessarily a bad thing.

Why do people put up with this Microsoft crap? Please explain it to me, because I don't get it.

How can people say that iOS emoji look better than Android/Twitter emoji? iOS's look like low-quality early 2000s clip art. I don't get why I don't see more criticism.

sup /g/,
is it possible to install spyware that runs outside the OS/before the OS boots and thus cannot monitor? If so, how likely do you think it is, that manufactured hardware already gets shipped in such a rigged state?

Discuss.
