Microsoft HAD to get something into people's hands after the flaming disaster of Win8. The Win8.1 patch was barely enough to keep the existing Win8 users from bailing back to Win7, or getting a Mac or Linux replacement.
That's how great software is done, don'tcha know? Take a bad situation, declare a release date, and then squeeze as much as possible in before the release date. So what if it isn't finished?
Defending Windows 10 and Microsoft, a spokesperson told us: “We will continue to roll out new Windows 10 Family features over time. We designed Windows 10 as a service, and we’ll keep listening to our customers. If there are ways to make improvements, we will do so.”In other words, "So what if it isn't ready for release? We're releasing it and you can just suck it up, users!" I'm very disappointed, frankly. I had hopes of Win10 being a really great release. But they seem to keep stepping on their own... um, ding-dongs.
This particular gaffe is pretty egregious, IMO. Children are involved. It's one thing to screw up tens of millions of adults' mental balance by destroying what was arguably the world's most popular desktop UI for 15 years, replacing it with Fisher-Price blocks. It's entirely something else to drop parental control features, even with notice, but even that apparently was missing or inadequate as well in this case.
Just... damn!
