>>52118736
thanks for keeping me safe microsoft. I sure love windows 10 and cortana! You guys are such a great company!
>>52118736
this is completely bullshit imho, there's no excuse for robbing away the "freedom of choice" from people.
if they do this now, what will they do in the future?
>>52118844
Because people are all dumb anyways, why offer choice when they're too stupid to use it? See Apple and their 200 billion stash
>>52118736

if you can't run bethesda's "fallout 4" on win 7 you can't run it on win 10 either.

All I ever wanted was to share all my private and intimate data with every powerful government in the world.
Thank you, Microsoft, for making sure that my privacy is 100% secure, and only shared with Microsoft, law enforcement agencies, various governments, and ABSOLUTELY no one else! I can sleep easy, knowing with certainty that all my data is safe, and only legally accessible by a few million lawful people.
Microsoft cares deeply about your privacy. And your private data. Mostly the private data. They only want to log every keystroke you make, in order to protect you! From the evil-doers! Think of the children! 110 million people have already upgraded! Are you a patriot? Do you love your country? Then upgrade to Windows 10!
Do you know who refused to upgrade to Windows 10™ for free®?
Hitler.
Hitler NEVER upgraded to Windows 10™. You are not like Hitler... are you?
Upgrade to Windows 10™ today! It is free®!
>>52119026
Yes, normal people don't like choice. They might be annoyed that the computer just restarts and updates in the middle of their presentation, but they will just find a way to live with it. People actually prefer when companies remove their freedom and is willing to pay a premium (like to apple) to get someone to control what applications they can install and so on.
>>52119326
This is why Linux have to be free. People need extra incentives to choose freedom, people prefer to live with limited possibilities so they can blame the system when they never amount to anything.
>tfw everyone I know avoids Windows 10 out of fear of getting spied upon
I guess they'll have to wait for people to buy a new PC.
>>52119326
>They might be annoyed that the computer just restarts and updates in the middle of their presentation, but they will just find a way to live with it.
This is THE reason why I don't use windows 10 on my laptop. I can't trust my computer to know then a good time to reboot is
>>52119197
>and ABSOLUTELY no one else!
I know you're writing satire but you forgot the long list of data brokerage companies, like bluekai, axcziom and such.
The world of personal data isn't just advertising, it's reams and reams of companies that buy and sell the data.
Some even just sell the data to criminals, because hey, they pay money for it.
Did you know that you can set Windows Update so it cannot restart when a user is logged on?
>>52119326
>They might be annoyed that the computer just restarts and updates in the middle of their presentation
windows 10 isn't doing that, is it?
>>52119326
Apple doesn't control what applications you can install on their computers anymore than Windows does.
>>52118736
True that. Windows 10 finally pushed me to go Linux full time.
Ta M$.
>>52119197
What OS did Hitler use?

>"But we do worry when people are running an operating system that’s 10 years old that the next printer they buy isn’t going to work well, or they buy a new game, they buy Fallout 4, a very popular game, and it doesn’t work on a bunch of older machines."
>WE'RE ONLY THINKING ABOUT YOU IF YOU DON'T UPDATE NOW THINGS ARE GOING TO BREAK
Jesus christ that's a pretty thinly veiled threat
>>52119866
Lol. No way in hell that I'm gonna use windows 10 on my home PC. What the fuck. Also since when do webms play sound?
>>52120331
They could always play sounds, but only on certain boards here.
>literally all just "it's better"

You aren't allowed to put it off forever
>>52120463
I got windows 10 pro on my main pc and home on my laptop. Neither download updates without my permission.
>>52120463
And my home one hasnt even been updated to the november build so thats like 6 months with patches
>>52118736
>Oy Vey goyim, bow down to our botnet.....or else....
This is why I use WinXP. I don't have to worry about automatic updates interrupting my work. I don't have to worry about Win10 preinstalling on my PC.
>>52121158

ooo, i'm sooooo scared
sorry, M$, i ain't buyin' it
>>52118736
Im ok with this. some of the people on /g/ are too afraid to even open their windows because they think the sun will invade their privacy. thats how you get cancer
>>52118844
>if they do this now, what will they do in the future?
They will offer an OS that has choices again for a price.
>We at Microsoft heard that Windows 10 was too restrictive so we added more options in Windows ThingLonger.
>>52120152
>>52118736
I wish they would fucking update Vista, then. My parents could use that.
>For us, it’s just so incredibly important to try to end the fragmentation of the Windows install base
>So we've released 3 versions of windows over the past 3 years
fucking brilliant
>>52118736
>having my data looked through by countless different groups makes me safer
>spying on innocent, law-abiding citizens who have done no wrong, nor who have done anything to raise even the slightest of suspicions, makes them safer
>removing my ability to choose what I do with my computer that I paid for with my money that I worked for makes me safer and is an improvement
What the fuck, Microsoft? I just don't understand. Are they intentionally trying to crash their OS, and perhaps even their name, with no survivors? They're seriously taking this bullshit way too far and it's really putting me off of wanting anything to do with their products.
>>52126382
>they think the sun will invade their privacy. thats how you get cancer
Too much sunlight does give you cancer.
>>52128515
lack of vitamin D gives you cancer as well
>>52118844
The excuse is that most people view Windows as an appliance. This is their solution to that issue.
>In the new year Microsoft intends to ramp up its push further
lmao at all the gay fag-ass cock sucking 12 year old wangblowers who will defend this
Win10 is fine for me. I just used some anti spy programs to disable some shit and set everything like telemetry and group policy.
>>52119326
There is done truth to this. Namely there is such a thing as too many [typically meaningless] choices.
>>52129067
>I just used some anti spy programs to disable some shit and set everything like telemetry and group policy.
Good goy! Now you can safely use Google Chrome without giving away any personal info.
>>52119588
Ok. Let me amend.
All I ever wanted was to share all my private and intimate data with every powerful government in the world.
Thank you, Microsoft, for making sure that my privacy is 100% secure, and only shared with Microsoft, law enforcement agencies, data brokerage companies, advertisers, various governments around the globe, and ABSOLUTELY no one else! I can sleep easy, knowing with certainty that all my data is safe, and only legally accessible by a few million lawful people. No bad guys will EVER have access to MY data! Unless, of course, there are bad employees at Microsoft/data brokerage companies/advertising agencies/governments/law enforcement/etc... but that is almost guaranteed with near sure certainty to probably never happen.
Microsoft cares deeply about your privacy. And your private data. Mostly the private data. They only want to log every keystroke you make, in order to protect you! From the evil-doers! Think of the children! 110 million people have already upgraded! Are you a patriot? Do you love your country? Then upgrade to Windows 10! People who refuse to upgrade to Windows 10 are the ones who hate you, hate your country, hate your freedom, and want to take away YOUR RIGHTS!
Do you know who refused to upgrade to Windows 10™ for free®?
Hitler.
Hitler NEVER upgraded to Windows 10™. You are not like Hitler... are you?
Upgrade to Windows 10™ today! It is free®!

Falcon, totally unrelated to the thread, do you think you have a minute or 2 to talk about something that should be changed in Logicalincrements? its about mexico prices that are wrong.
Well not exactly wrong, you are showing the subtotal but not the final price of some stuff.
will google ever make an OS?
sure it will be a botnet but alt east it will be a linux based botnet that works right and can play vidya/windows apps

I downloaded Deluge on my MBP a couple months ago, and it told me it wouldn't run apps from unidentified developers or something like that (basically non-app store apps). It's fairly trivial to get around (basically open up System Preferences and click a button) but it took a bit of googling to figure that out. Additionally, with El Capitan, they're restricting what sudo can do (basically can't alter system-critical directories except for a few), but again, that can be disabled (which, again, I had to google to find out).
That being said, I use both Windows 10 and El Capitan because they're the most up-to-date versions and I know that there are enough Windows 10 users that Microsoft truly doesn't care about me as an individual, and I'm not so stuck on the fact that they collect data that it's going to force me to bend over backwards and jump through way, way too many hoops to install Arch.
If I decide to update your Win10, should version should I get? Is there an easy way to get enterprise?

Same logic as applying DRM to games, media, music.
Paying, law-abiding customers always suffer the most. It's the logic of freedom and justice. It's the corporate logic.

Reinstalling my winblows 7 desktop tonight and been thinking about either win 8.1 and 10.
Are those spy removal scripts ive seen at least somewhat effective?
Only thing keeping me from 10 is the shitty inconsistent UI and other smaller issues but I like the smaller footprint.
>>52136774
>been thinking about either win 8.1 and 10.
Don't.
>Are those spy removal scripts ive seen at least somewhat effective?
Not on 10.
Fine on 7 and 8, but then 8 has its own separate issues. 10 is botnet mode in full effect. 7 is least bad. Stick to 7.
