Why does everyone on /g/ seemingly hate Windows 10 so much? I genuinely think it's a good product. All the silly rumors about spyware/botnet are straight up lies created by idiot paranoids.
Windows 10 is the safest operating systsem on the market today, with features like smartscreen filter, applocker, cloud-based windows defender, and an improved updates system that ensures no computer stays unpatched and vulnerable.
Additionally, the whole telemetry paranoia is off the charts. They doesn't any personal info and it's only used to fix the bugs. Would you rather give one of the oldest and most reputable American software companies a small bit of info on how you use your computer, or would you rather help provide your entire identity and all your files to cybercriminals?
There is also a lots of other good improvements in Windows 10 like the new Edge Browser, built in appstore, memory compression, DirectX 12, and Cortana assistant. So many good things in Windows 10 but elitist idiots stick to 10 year old windows 7 saying its safer and better. LOL its 2016. Please tell me im not the only person here with even the slightest sense of rationality.

Well you have to spend money to get a license.
The cheaper OEM licenses don't transfer if you swap out too much hardware on your machine.
With Linux distros you just download an ISO and you're done. Well you could "READ" the license text if you want too...
>>53914751
funny story about that. I have an OEM version of windows and a few months ago my motherboard and GPU died, so I had to switch to new ones. i was worried because, like you know, the key is tied to the motherboard/cpu/(hard drive?) combo. So I got the parts all put in and booted it up, and installed my windows 7. I was worried the process would break at some point, but it all installed fine.
It gets around to asking for the license key and I input the only one i had, my OEM key from my previous install. I typed it in and...it worked. I don't know if it's because I moved country, but I was quite happy and surprised.

Win 10 is not free, it is a free upgrade.
It is hated because the UI is objectively worse than 7.
It is hated because it has mandatory updates, and the only thing you can do is either block all updates, or receive all updates. My Win10 installation (yes I have one) for example, every update attempts to install OLD FIRMWARE on my printer. It is not only doing the wrong thing, it is doing it to a device other than the system itself. Because updates are all or nothing, there's no way to simply opt-out of this from happening every time.
It is hated because the updating is intrusive and will take place whether you like it or not.
It is hated because it further enforces draconian DRM.
It is hated because despite the problems, it does not offer any actual improvements over Windows 7 to the average user except (arguably) for DX12 support, which is still not even relevant to gaming.
At this point in time there is still literally no reason to upgrade to Windows 10.
>>53914816

Well there's some silly little things over Windows 7 like the task view thing and being able to do proper window snapping on multimonitor setups, but that's nothing that will fix all of those glaring flaws.
Also that they could have improved on things such as having a better file manager, having better font rendering, having a non shitty file system. But nah. Apps are more important.
>>53914829
You sound like youd rather have Android 4.2 installed than 6.0..
>>53914866
>task view thing and being able to do proper window snapping on multimonitor setups
There are those - these are reasonable additions to the OS.
Unfortunately neither of them matter at all to me. I have never used the task view nor do I have a multimonitor setup.
I installed Win10 because I was curious what it was going to have that would be a step up from Win8/8.1 (which I skipped) to warrant not only a new version number, but to skip a version number.
I was disappointed to find out that WOW IT'S FUCKING NOTHING.
>>53914893
So, a cursory look at task view is that it's basically multiple desktops? I don't think that's a compelling reason to switch from other Operating Systems since they've had that feature since the mid to late 90s.
>>53914893
Honestly I wasn't expecting all that much. There are many things about Windows that haven't changed in many versions. Tell you the truth, even if all users collectively complained about its quality and they had to pop out a new one, it'd be just the same thing with another layer of stupid shit on top of it.
>>53914921
Basically workspaces + being able to see your current opened windows organized the same way you do on some linux DEs/mission control in OSX
It's nothing new, just something that was lacking on Windows specifically. Some people don't even need it at all. Shit you can't even bind a specific hotkey to show it. I do that on both linux and OSX with my DPI button on my mouse.

In this case is even more stupid because MS as a girlfriend is a manipulative bitch that likes to play dirty and has a big story of cucking her ex boyfriends. If those guys don't care how they're being treated is up to them.
>>53919513
>I've never heard somthing like:"linux must die" from windows users.
sorry but are you new in this board?
I had thought about giving Windows 10 a try, downloaded the ISO from Microsoft, and used dd to write it to a USB drive. The image wasn't recognized by my motherboard. I even selected Windows EFI in addition to Other OS and neither were recognized. Started up trustworthy always works Linux, and mounted the USB drive just to be sure it wrote properly. Sure enough, the contents were all there. I liked it better when Microsoft paid developers. Sure Vista, was a heaping pile of dogshit but it was usable. Everything took a catastrophic turn with Windows 8 and it's all gone downhill ever since.

>paid
L M A O
These faggots do it for free
for anyone still on the fence about whether or not windows 10 is being shilled (by paid employees or otherwise) this post will try to break down some of the common arguments shills make, by taking OP's post as an example
>>53911470
>All the silly rumors about spyware/botnet are straight up lies created by idiot paranoids.
calling windows 10 a literal botnet would of course be silly, however "x is a botnet" is a /g/ meme that generally refers to anything that phones home more than it should, collects more data than it should without giving adequate means to disable data gathering (or obscuring it) etc - it's not a botnet in the malicious botnet sense and nobody with a clue thinks it is
concerns over telemetry isn't paranoia, bad implementation of telemetry (which windows 10 is guilty of) can reveal personal information over the network (ever use your computer on a public network such as a cafe wireless? yeah) - whether or not leaking of personal information is relevant to the user, a highly subjective matter, the fact that information has the potential to be leaked is not subjective, it's objectively bad and shouldn't be happening in the first place

>and an improved updates system that ensures no computer stays unpatched and vulnerable.
forced updates on windows isn't a good thing given how often windows publishes updates that soft brick machines - problematic for those that need forced updates the most
forced updates exist because people don't update because they don't know better, it's a problem across all operating systems but forcing people to update with no means to opt-out is the worse way of doing it
>Additionally, the whole telemetry paranoia is off the charts.
even if you set windows 10 up in the manner to collect the least amount of information, it *still* sends a lot of data that can be used against you either by microsoft or by people who have access to the local network you're using

>but muh sketchy site posting unverified information
there's various other articles about what microsoft sends and how much of it leaks personally identifiable data (whether intentionally or through a bug) however I don't have direct links as it's becoming increasingly difficult to find with all the news sites cluttering google with "windows 10 telemetry data is a problem" "windows 10 telemetry data ISN'T a problem" - just know that having settings split across 13 different pages WILL result in issues if telemetry is a concern for you in any way

>They doesn't any personal info and it's only used to fix the bugs.
telemetry data is only anonymised on the absolute bare minimum diagnostics mode of telemetry gathering, however they still have your "harmless metadata" ip address :^)
once you start using features with their own telemetry (note again: 13 pages of telemetry settings, a 45 page privacy policy) such as cortana, onedrive, etc, etc, then you're ABSOLUTELY going to be sending personal info - cortana alone sends stuff like your calendar app details among other things
fixing bugs is a valid argument when it comes to rare unreproducable bugs but it also falls flat on its face when you consider that microsoft is one of the few companies that can pour resources into bugfixing among other things like ui development, but look at how incompetent they were at making a usable desktop UI for windows 8 launch (ergo: they have the resources but cannot do it, hence users now have to pony up personally identifiable user data with no way to opt out)
>Would you rather give one of the oldest and most reputable American software companies
just take a look at some of the controversies microsoft have been involved in, saying they're reputable is a fucking joke (hint: many, MANY monopolistic business tactics, anti-consumer practices, they coined the term "Extend, Embrace, Extinguish", are masters of spreading FUD, the list goes on)
>a small bit of info on how you use your computer
a "small" bit of your information, such as your private encryption keys if you use encryption and onedrive (you can opt-out of this one but it shouldn't be opt-out in the first place)
>or would you rather help provide your entire identity and all your files to cybercriminals?

This is the only way I've read to get 99% of the spyware. It still collects, but has less than 1% chance to get out.

You need to also disable a service called "Diagnostic Policy Service" on services.msc. It is known to create/send telemetry data on Enterprise no matter what setting you have it on.
Yeah On Enterprise LTSB, If you try to turn off telemetry via grpup policy it will not turn off. The services will stay active no matter what. The only thing the off button does is block access to a few files in the ETLlogs folder, which means the telemetry data is still collected, but it can not be saved on the computer

Real life is one thing, but on this board I think it's established what free means. Please say gratis for this meaning in the future.

They are nearly indistinguishable from people baiting.
Reminder that if you don't tell them to fuck off their attempts will gradually erode the collective opinion until all that's left is a mockery of what once existed.
And no it's not free.
You are being harvested for data to be bought and sold while using it. They find ways to make you pay.

| A Traffic Analysis of Windows 10:
|
| Keypoints: Windows 10 has a keylogger and uploads all your
| keystrokes every 5 minutes. Everything you type in Edge or
| Cortana is sent to Microsoft, along with any media files it
| finds. When webcam is enabled, 35MB of data goes to Microsoft.
| Even with Cortana disabled/uninstalled, Windows 10 sends all
| microphone audio to Microsoft, when the computer is idle.

Why do the Micro$hills always disregard other criticisms such as the fact that Win10 uninstalls programs without your permissions, resets your settings routinely and aggressively pushes updates?

In windows 7, is there a way to hide the windows 10 notification icon and remove all reminders and pop-ups related to it?
Windows 7 is better because I can bypass the log in screen. Heard you can't do that with Windows 10.
