Tricks, scams, and non-consensual downloads through updates is not popularity and market share. Microsoft is like a guy giving women roofies, then bragging that all the women want to sleep with him.
Windows 10 is essentially a date rape operating system.
I completely agree with your assesment of ms-windows. I started playing around with linux in 96, made the switch in 97 and never looked back. I used to be a big Apple naysayer as well, since a friend is in the video/entertainment industry and everything to him is Apple. So a few weeks ago I was with a friend shopping for a new computer. She took one look at the macbook-mini and that was it. Beautiful, no nonsense little machine. I have hense given up my anti-mac views.
It's worse than anyone imagined.
Every time it breaks, EVERY useful program that we pay hundred$ for must be re-installed.
And Win 10 breaks every other ^$#@)(&N%&* update...
You have a good posting history, don't ruin it by post opinions about things that you obviously don't know a thing about. Three posts already about hating Windows 10, no reason, just hate. I have to think you still using a push mower as the directions for a gas mower are too complex. These hateful posts reflect poorly on the posters, I am surprised you are one.
