Microsoft Releases a Linux Version of the ProcDump Sysinternals Tool
Microsoft do cool things like this which makes me think "oh wow they really are a different company to 15 years ago"<p>So I go and check out a new Windows 10 laptop and the first thing I see, even on Microsoft's own Surface devices running a 'clean' 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'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'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'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?), 'Get Office' (again really? In your Professional version?), stop nagging me about changing from your own products, remove all 'suggestions' 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.
