At what point will Microsoft make it so that you can’t disable Cortana in Windows 10? As one of those still using Win 7 Pro, at least until January 2020, I am not looking forward to moving on.

For the first time, so am I. I resent the myriad of intrusions that have been built into Windoze. I resent their arbitrary changes in the construction of basic controls (Settings vs. Control Panel). Their invasive “phone home” telemetry has me constantly irritated.

More and more I find myself in the position of working to defeat the operating system instead of enhancing it.

But Linux isn’t any better. Each time Mint or Ubuntu comes out with a newer flavor I dutifully download it to one of my test machines and try them out. They still haven’t figured out how to create a network disk share that can be accessed by a Windows computer. Without that basic functionality the OS is useless to me (since I run several computers on a network).

Why is it that computers were more productive and more fun back in the Windows 98 days?!

I cannot disable cortana now and i bought the computer two months ago.

I am actully in the market for a new computer and OS. I am done with Windows MS after 30 plus years

I want an operating system like Win 7 and with upgrades for seamless media

I want a mail handler like outlook 2003

I want a Word proccesser like Word 2003

Actually something like the 2003 whole office package on a win 7 with media upgrades works for me.

That is all
