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

  Why are you talking about Linux in the first place?

  I assumed your last message was about Linux, since it’s not exactly hard to understand how Windows works. 30 years of technical debt with a new UI every now and then, so they can give a reason why they are reselling the same software over and over again, combined with the effort to squeeze every bit of possible profit out of their user base, e.g. through ads, selling data gathered from their user base and possibly even silently postponing fixes for gaping security holes, so e.g. Antivirus companies have a reason to exist.

  You can’t possibly believe MS does all the bullshit they do with the user in mind? No user ever said “Please let the next overhyped Candy-Crush-esque game pop up in my start menu automatically” or “Please randomly enable this useless search bar during an update” or “Please give me this piece of software with full control over every digital step I take, but don’t you dare tell me what it does in detail.” And the best part is the users even pay to have this software on their machine.

  having nothing to talk about except “DAE Windows bad”

  You do realize the topic of this thread is “Windows bad” right? Maybe read the post again?

    Read again, I’m saying you assumed this conversation was about Linux because Linux people have nothing to talk about expect how they hate Windows, I didn’t say this conversation wasn’t able Windows being bad, I said it wasn’t about Linux in the first place but just like vegans or people who do CrossFit, you guys can’t help bringing everything back to your own field of interest no matter if people opened the door to it or not.

      How did you fail to even read one sentence of my message? I quite literally explained why I assumed you were talking about Linux in the first sentence.
