Comment on Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

  maybe they didn’t “choose” anything

  They chose a computer with Windows preinstalled.

  There are a lot of people who need to use Windows professionally, Linux is not always a viable alternative at all

  You misunderstand. I’m not saying don’t use Windows. I’m saying don’t use Windows and then whine about it later. If you have a job that requires you to use Windows and you have a problem with using Windows, go complain to your manager, not some strangers on the Internet, they can’t help you.

  People are allowed to prefer Windows for their own reasons and still complain about the shit MS pulls off without immediately being attacked for “installing malware”

  People are allowed to prefer Windows no question, but somehow they’re always surprised that an operating system, that is generally known for performing actions from which MS profits, performs actions from which MS profits. And then they go cry on the Internet about it like it wasn’t the consequences of their own choices.

    You keep talking about choice even though there isn’t one for many people. And why wouldn’t they be allowed to whine about it? To call out MS for their constant bullshit is absolutely the right thing to do imo.

    Your initial comment was not only incredibly condescending and presumptuous but doesn’t help anyone. And it’s also absolutely the last thing people wanna hear who keep getting invaded like that by MS all the time. So you kinda deserve the backlash, sorry you don’t see that.

      The post quite literally says “WHY THEY ****ING IGNORE IT???”. That’s not calling out MS for their bullshit. That’s asking why MS would do MS bullshit, to which the obvious answer is “because they’re MS”, hence my comment

      You keep talking about choice even though there isn’t one for many people.

      May I point out the part where I said, that if you’re forced to use Windows then maybe you should complain to the people who force you, not random people on the Internet, who are not responsible for your problems.

      Your initial comment […] doesn’t help anyone.

      Then it was right on topic. 🤷‍♂️
