Why Windows 10 Sucks or Everything Wrong with Microsoft Windows
I&#x27;m no Windows fanboy but there&#x27;s a lot of misinformation here. In the spirit of bullying the reader with a big list of points, here are some examples of incorrect claims in TFA:<p>1. It&#x27;s not hard to disable Cortana and internet-assisted start menu search completion. I assume that&#x27;s what they mean by &quot;keyboard scanning and voice recording&quot; because I don&#x27;t think there&#x27;s anything else like that in the OS. It is possible to disable telemetry. In general Windows 10 does come with a ton of cruft but it can be disabled with e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Disassembler0&#x2F;Win10-Initial-Setup-Script" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Disassembler0&#x2F;Win10-Initial-Setup-Script</a><p>2. Disk fragmentation hasn&#x27;t been an issue for awhile. Defrag runs as a scheduled task in all versions of Windows 10.<p>3. I like UAC. The article claims that giving users a dialog box to permit admin access is good for malware, but the alternative is taking admin away from users altogether on their own computers. I don&#x27;t think this is an acceptable tradeoff.<p>4. Windows has arguably the <i>best</i> plug-and-play driver support of any operating system. It&#x27;s not hard to find drivers as the article claims.<p>5. The article claims that it&#x27;s difficult to figure out why your startup is so slow, but task manager has a &quot;Startup&quot; tab now which tells you which startup items are consuming a lot of CPU at login.<p>6. The article claims that you can&#x27;t disable Windows Store apps, Windows tips, and ads in the start menu. That&#x27;s untrue. I don&#x27;t even have Windows Store installed as a Windows component, I have no idea what &quot;Windows tips&quot; even is, and my start menu is devoid of ads <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;xy69BWe.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;xy69BWe.png</a><p>I think Windows is pretty bad and most users would probably be better off running Lubuntu or something, but there&#x27;s no need to resort to exaggeration to make that case.
