Take THAT people who think Microsoft works with the NSA to spy on you!

I think this hate train on WIn 10 is getting funnier and funnier. Yes, most of the criticism is absolutely fair and correct but it's not like it's worse than any other OS or that anything will change through internet outrage. Eventually  Win 10 will become better and everyone will switch to it, so the more people hate on it the more they will look like a hypocrite when they change to it as well^^

There are plenty of well-documented issues with W10, many of which are there by Microsoft design.  People shouldn't call those into question?  I'll never understand or support that logic.  The day people don't complain about fucked up things is the day consumers get steamrolled.

As for people switching to W10 eventually, well, yeah.  Many applications won't work, or work well, with anything else.  That's why Windows is considered a monopoloy.  It's not hypocrisy if you have very little real-world choice.

As for the Anniversary Update, it's causing an entire host of problems.  The fact that people have no choice but to take the update anyway is well worth complaining about.

Funny because that isn't even true.

Windows downloaded that update weeks ago on my laptop, but unless I accidentally press "Update and shut down" or "Update and restart" it's not gonna install itself.
