Windows 10 sucks so bad. I have to do five things to match the single action required in Windows 7.

Most of the developers for Cortana are gay, or at least wish they were.

Seri and Cortana are just there to suck information out of you, then spew it back in advertising.

I have never used Cortana. In all new Windows Ten installations I remove it from the taskbar immediately.

Hmm, I didn’t even know I had Cortana.

I do know about Siri and Alexa.

I keep accidentally activating Siri. Once, when I did that, I said, “Siri, go away!”

She responded, “Did I do something wrong?”

I use to do Windows password resets. When a user got locked out while still online one of the indicators was an error message about Cortana when they tried to open up Explorer.

The emphasis, according to Microsoft, will be on "productivity."

I about spit my coffee out when I read this. Windows 10? About productivity?

IMHO, Windows 10 has done more to eviscerate the productivity of IT departments supporting it than if we had gone back to DOS. It's constantly changing, it's constantly breaking, it's constantly malfunctioning (have they fixed search yet?). Back in the XP/7 days, we spent maybe 35-40% of our time supporting Windows and the rest supporting other apps and the infrastructure. Now it's close to 75% supporting Windows 10 and everything else is falling apart due to lack of maintenance. And it still sucks.

That’s why I won’t get rid of Win 7. I’m “happy” with it in that I built my PC and don’t have to worry about gigabytes worth of garbage slowing it down (which isn’t even Microsoft related). I also use Brave so I don’t worry about being bombarded with dozens of ads and trackers.

Never used Cortana. Disabled Gibson or Bosley, or whatever the heck “assistant” Samsung has on my Galaxy phone. The Alexa button on the Firestick remote is collecting dust.
