Windows 10 could be better if only Microsoft got rid of its layers of made-men, according to a former Microsoft distinguished engineer.
Tired of boring, buggy Windows 10 updates? You can blame them on Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's failure to eliminate the company's legacy of appointing "made-men".

Ping
I need to replace my Win 7 Pro PC with something else for Internet and financial accounts access. Software like TurboTax for 2020 will not be authorized for Win 7 (and without any security patching after 1/14/20, wisely so). Still not convinced I want to go the Linux route.

I bought an older PC with 10 installed for about $100, will only be using it for online transactions that need to be secure (with updates). Otherwise, when it comes to MS for un-secure doings, I’m sticking with Win 7. On the Linux side, Xubuntu is also a fine OS.
Why does windows 10 suck?
White men. This wouldn’t happen if you had diversity.
Golly what a progressive article.
Get a Mac and never look back.
I’m looking to buy a new all in one desktop and the Dell computers come with Windows 10 - is it that bad? I’m open to suggestion.
I've been using TurboTax on a Mac for years.
Indian H 1 Visa foreign cheap labor and the Indians
only hire other Indians.
They are foreigners and hate whitey .
They took there jobs and ignore whitey .
I heard it real bad there for the whites they haven't pushed out yet .
Thanks greedy Bill Gates for new Indian invasion .
I may end up doing something similar, although I will probably get a new PC with Win 10 in the belief that I would eventually transition the software I use on the Win 7 PC over to it.
What I'm noticing right now is Dell is not discounting their PCs very much. I suspect they realize a lot of users are going to need/want to move to Win 10 soon, so the discounts are pretty thin ($50 off of a $1,100 PC is one example - normally, you would see $200-300 off as a deal).
Windows 10 works fine here on two different computers.

People who complain about Windows 10 are amateurs and do not know what they are talking about.
I like and use Linux but I use Win 10 for a few games and it gives me No Trouble ,now the anti-virus can be a pain
They keep using the term “made-men” but keep the meaning of the term murky—something about males and Bill Gates. How does one determine if an given employee is one of these incompetent “made-men”? Do we assume they are if they are male or if they have been in the company a while? Can women be “made-men” as well?
Never had a problem with Win 10, ever. Make sure I update regularly and have systems with enough memory (8GB or more).
I got a Win10 PC on the cheap from EBay, as I noted above. Linux really isn’t difficult, if the learning curve is of concern. Security is good with Linux, but I’m more used to Windows on that account.
If you’re not familiar with using Linux you can test out the different offerings by running them from a USB (or from a disk) live to get a feel for it.
I have a separate external 500gb hard drive that I have Linux - the Xubuntu distro (version) - on. I just plug in the USB and then turn on my PC, if I’m not booting into the Windows already installed on the PC. Works great.
