I wonder if they're even legally allowed to do this shit. I know they probably have some kind of terms of service, but that doesn't mean having those terms is legal. You could put in the terms of a deal that part of the deal is you must murder a person of the seller's choosing. Even proposing it would be illegal (solicitation for murder for hire or something along those lines, which is a crime). Or a term of service could be that you agree to be murdered after 100 hours of use with their service. The practice of murder is illegal regardless. Invasion of privacy (under many different situations) is illegal.
Making/selling a product or service isn't a get out of jail free card for criminal shit.
And yes I know those are vastly different scenarios but the core principles are there.
I bring it up because I wonder what people familiar with the law, have to say about it. From what I've read it has insane DRM built into the OS itself and won't allow you to access files it determined were not legally obtained.

It's not illegal but it is immoral and it's only going to get worse.

unless they get boycotted so bad they are forced to revive windows 7, but then the gov would step in and just give them more money to make windows 11 goatse edition, which in my opinion is what windows 10 is, and what happened to windows 8

I like windows 10 a lot. It doesn't have that stupid seperate tile page and it's instead on the tab.
The only issue for me is the driver crash but that will be fixed over time.

I tried the upgrade and it ran like shit. If my computer wasn't frozen it was extremely laggy, it wouldnt even open the browser. I uninstalled it right away. For my next computer I will happily be sacrificing a couple extra luxuries and go straight to Linux.

Would it be terribly difficult to make a operating system that was fully functional, compatible, user friendly and respects the users privacy?
Apple and Microsoft sound an awful lot like Republican and Democrat.

Well, IT is, but you have to pay a monthly subscription if you want Solitaire, media player, or drivers for a DVD.
I think it was about fifteen years ago, my dad told me that someday soon software would be on monthly-pay options only. I refused to believe him. Sigh.
Anyway, I'm overhauling my desktop and about to install Windows 7 on it... I was going to upgrade to 10 after that, but after reading this thread I thought better of it. I hope you get it all sorted out OP.

I always think about switching back from Mac but I really don't see any reason to. Especially when I see people bitching all the time about how shitty it is.
Macs have their own problems. I just got a MacBook Air a few months ago. It's really spiffy and there's a lot to like about it, but it has weird little glitchy problems for which there appears to be no solution... for example, when I have it hooked up to my TV via HDMI, the connection to the TV randomly dies for a few seconds and then needs to be re-calibrated once it comes back on, like at least once every ten minutes. I have no idea why. Nobody does. And AFAIK there's not really much I can do about it. That's the sort of dumb compatibility issue that you could solve or work around on a PC.

I had a mac book pro from 2008 that was sweet. I got another one about a year ago, and I feel like mac OS has gone to shit. Mine has weird glitchy things about it too. Like, when I close a firefox browser, it freezes up and I have to restart the machine. This happens like every three times that I close the browser.
I predicted that mac would go to shit after Steve Jobs died, and so far I think I was right.

Can someone please explain to me how Microsoft manages to turn a profit after producing fuck ups after fuck ups?
How can you constantly build failures after failures and still make money? Can someone explain that to me?

Most people are lazy and scared of the unknown. They see linux or mac as more trouble than its worth.

Now OS can possibly be more trouble than Windows 8.

well for starters they sell their os's in bulk to places like bestbuy to have them preloaded on computers. so people are buying it weither they like it or not.
secondly, im sure they get paid lots of money from the government.
thirdly, consoles
4thly, buisness apps
5thly, apparently by selling your privite information?

i think he's saying how a bad product could be successful, and it mostly boils down to idiots will buy anything.
I told people windows 7 was dogshit nobody believed me, i told people windows 8 was dogshit people bought it anyway said it was good, then those same people years later finally admit its dogshit, windows 10 i say is dogshit, people still saying they are going to get it even after learning they've been spied on
people are jsut bored and want to try new things i think windows xp is still the best OS in my mind, whats windows 7 have that xp doesn't? shit that 2 year olds think is 'neat'. and the only really useful shit, could have simply been patched into xp, and at his point i bet some haxors out their already have done it

I couldn't agree more. But, some folks are used to routine and don't want to learn anything other than windows.
