At this point a started everything over thinking there might be some odd luck virus that attacks it right away when it connects to the internet. I know, neurotic, but I was baffled and confused.

Install W7 SP1 and only download the critical updates. That's about as good as an experience you're gonna get from windows.

So I restart the process again but I can't get the Windows 10 install media to boot.
>Investigate
And I shit you not
Rebooting in the middle of the broken boot-loop
Had caused the boot partition to succumb into an abyss
And I couldn't boot
>the system
>OR the install media
>OR a Windows 7 install DVD
because they all stopped responding trying to access the disk
>frustrated, start downloading Arch live iso to fdisk into that piece of shit and generate a new partition table from scratch because no Windows install media let's me partition disks, let alone I can't open any installers cause they won't boot
But this, even this
isn't all.

Microsoft set a low standard for software quality. The media and IT community didn't call them on it and basically gave them a free pass, for unknown reasons.

So now I'm reformatting the drive on external tools because MS doesn't give you the tools to.
Meanwhile I'm idling on google looking up what could ever cause the crashing in the first place.
And I run into this.

You can't install Skype and Chrome at the same time on a handful of random Win10 computers because they instantly start using 100% disk i/o, resulting in a dead machine in my case (lower-end specs)
But because Skype is pre-installed on win10 as soon as it connects to the internet, it means you can't install chrome at all on fresh Windows 10 without either disabling an obscure setting on Skype or deleting it altogether.

Makes me want to fuck up everything. Why is any of this allowed?
And morale of the story?

The Xbox 360 was called the "Xbox 180" when they tried to make changes that were unpopular and had to reverse themselves after they were mocked by Sony and the media at E3. In videogames they have competition to keep them semi-honest.

get fucked in the ass
I have used windows for the majority of my life and just recently started jumping ship
And I just earlier this week installed win10 on my desktop with no problems
But the problem is microsoft doesn't ship any kind of diagnostic shell or powerful tools of administrating let alone installing an operating system.
Basically what >>62480943 said

I wish Apple was a more direct competition, but the truth is they can overlap and coexist no problem, especially now that the platform war is kind of done when everything happens on browsers and Mac and Windows both get capable software.
Fucking when will anyone monetize on a perfect user-friendly linux system with prorietary gui?
