Microsoft leak reveals new Windows 10 Workstation edition for power users
As a power user, I hope this doesn&#x27;t ship with ads and telemetry enabled. It&#x27;s things like that that pushed me away from windows and towards Linux. If Microsoft had never participated in the NSA PRISM program I would have never decided to &quot;just try this Linux thing out&quot; and I&#x27;d probably still be a windows user.<p>I think at this point they&#x27;ll have to do more than get rid of ads and telemetry to get me (and others) to switch back. Linux turned out to be much more stable than Windows for me, and after experiencing package management and sane update policies I can&#x27;t go back to an OS that won&#x27;t even let me use it while it&#x27;s installing updates.<p>When I sit and try to make a list of reasons to use Windows it seems to come down to program compatibility and not operating system quality. Instead of trapping people on an OS because of vendor lock-in, try improving core parts of the OS to make it worth using.
