You don't want to be a Beta Tester for Microsoft's corporate accounts? Too bad - you are, like it or lump it.

You want to read reviews of a new release's bugs before determining whether to install? Too bad - Microsoft is going to ram it into your computer, and you can't stop it.

You decided not to upgrade to windows 10? Too bad - Microsoft is going to try every trick they can think of to make you upgrade.

Look, if I had wanted this sort of computing environment, I would have converted over to Apple, a decade ago.

Because, make no mistake, Microsoft is aping Apple. They are making their OS a walled garden, which it wasn't before, with Windows 10. That's what the nay saying is all about, the elimination of user choice and control over their computing environment.

Non servum.
Don't a lot of the changes have to do with security?

I guess I don't mind much because I don't use my laptop much anymore; and when I do Windows 10 usually serves only as a launcher for Office, for a web browser, or to print something that my phone or tablet can't print without mangling.

Wow. The computing world has shifted a lot in the last 5-10 years.
