@ipg i find windows comfortable enough, i just wish the consumer release wasn’t crammed with so much preinstalled software & services compared to its more expensive enterprise sibling, which is a much more usable experience for me.

i dont mind pre-installed software, i understand the need to pad out the operating system with as much scenario-proofing as possible for the average consumer. one could even compare the candy crush shortcut to the suite of the classic windows games (hell of a stretch but bare with me)…. but this is absolutely excessive. my operating system shouldn’t assume that i like instagram or own a kindle or use spotify. i get these are Ads more than anything else, but forget massgrave exists for a second— this feels like a cheep move from a company that sells you a license for ~200$. this money isn’t going back into improving their product, that’s for sure.
