Microsoft Releases a Linux Version of the ProcDump Sysinternals Tool
Microsoft do cool things like this which makes me think &quot;oh wow they really are a different company to 15 years ago&quot;<p>So I go and check out a new Windows 10 laptop and the first thing I see, even on Microsoft&#x27;s own Surface devices running a &#x27;clean&#x27; Windows install, is a bunch of adverts on the start menu and sigh.<p>FFS Microsoft.<p>Why do you do so many great things then ruin your most popular brand with crap like Candy Crush and Twitter on your clean Windows install on your £3000+ premium laptop running Windows 10 Professional?<p>Not to mention how you <i>conveniently</i> always reset my settings to <i>your</i> defaults including reinstalling all your ad-crap every 6 months with a new Windows release. So I have to go find that damn PowerShell script again to wipe them out because a <i>normal</i> uninstall option is just too much to ask for isn&#x27;t it!<p>Honestly it does my head in. Windows 10 is a solid OS but they trash it with these awful little pointless decisions. Fine stick your Candy crap in the Home edition but leave Professional alone, especially as you offer me <i>no</i> alternative as an independent development as I can&#x27;t meet your Enterprise level requirements.<p>Do you see Apple loading up third-party apps into macOS? No? I wonder <i>why</i>.<p>Solving a lot of the complaints about Windows 10 isn&#x27;t some super hard development problem. All they have to do is provide an actual clean version of Windows 10 with no third-party crap and cut out a few of the MS apps as well like 3D Paint (really?), &#x27;Get Office&#x27; (again really? In your Professional version?), stop nagging me about changing from your own products, remove all &#x27;suggestions&#x27; and tips, allow me to properly disable Cortana and OneDrive with a single option and they be actually gone for good, and maybe have an option to fully disable telemetry (not that I would as I know it is beneficial to you and I but it will shut up some noisy people online and makes everyone happy).<p>See not that hard is it? Also please go to a one release per year. The fact you have screwed up the last <i>two</i> consecutive updates shows you are pushing to do too much too quickly. Who are you in a race with anyway? Just take your time and do a nice solid update every Spring and everyone will be much happier.
