intersdasting, however even with the option checked I have never seen any ads in W10; I guess it's thanks to Yamicsoft Windows 10 Manage? or the use of cracked version of W10 i'm using (without edge nor cortana). Either way, I agree with other anon about windados, I'm going to use Fedora now, as I was tipped to, or maybe gentoo, if I manage to find 6 free months of my time.

Hell, they could even charge for major feature updates like DX12. I would gladly pay for genuinely new features I need if it means no ad bullshit and nothing changing for the sole purpose of change.

>>59481229
Even better, continue Windows 10 as WindowsCloud or whatever. Then update Windows 7 with the new NT kernel, driver support and DX12. Sell Windows 7 as Windows Power Edition or some shit, and keep it updated LTSB style.

Found your problem

>>59483874
I disagree. macOS is genuinely good and perhaps now people are slowly waking up to the realization. iOS though still is so locked down it isn't practical. No one in this day and age should have to rely on internal memory alone, a specific piece of software to connect their phones and a very strict way to transfer files to them. macOS has workarounds for pretty much anything these days, iOS just doesn't.

>>59483985
I have no idea how the hardware is, but I know for damn sure that I'm not using a phone that doesn't allow me to install 3rd party software. I'm also too much of a tinkerer to not have file system access.

macOS is breddy good though.

Windows Ten sucks, tried the preview build when it came out in a vm. Sucks ass. More flash, more bloat, More steps required to do a simple fucking thing. More of the whole split touch/phone and reg desktop thing (although not as bad as 8/8.1). Only positive thing was that the start menu was back and the fact it was compatible with my server, WHS 2011 so if the day ever fucking came i got a Win Ten portable and was stuck with it (no win 7 drivers) I could at least back the fucking thing up without worry about data loss.

how much support for microsoft have for the MS formats? protip its not 100% either, they purposefuly mess with the specs to fuck up interoperability, and they also even fuck up with previous customers who dont upgrade to the latest office 2020, try using the most advanced options

>And i have no idea how they count that
its an open specification, its an open xml format, adopted by iso in the infamous committe that saw micronesia countries never heard of before at ISO voting for docx instead of odt, and now we are not a step closer to solving the document interoperability issue.

You realize you can setup Win10 to not update without your approval via Group policy right?

I think I got 1 message about Office 360 back when I first installed Windows 10. haven't gotten anything since then. Don't get me wrong, that's one ad too many, an OS should never be used for marketing, but I'm not sure where people are getting this idea that the entire thing is a billboard.

I really don't understand what Microsoft's thinking. I mean, it is completely viable to provide an advertising+datamining platform(or 'botnet', as /g/ would put it) as an actual and let even most 'power-users' (e.g. /g/) believe it is an OS. Just look at Google.

I mean, is it really that hard to passively push all your bullshit without alienating all users who actually have at least vague idea what you're doing?

I'm starting to think MS wants them to leave, to the point they do not only have a botnet of computers, but also of their users, who swallow everything MS feeds them.
