Windows 10: Microsoft to force Windows 10 on users with automatic updates from 201

Totally agree. What I'm doing on my Pi is well past your basic stuff though. And I'm a total noob and I still mange to get it done. With the help of good tutorials. GPIO bus etc.

 

I want to get a Pi one day. Looks like a fun project to learn and play with. Linux is just an OS.. it's different but anyone can learn to use it if they take the time.

 

I posted it after the fact because bunny did not understand what I meant, I could not post any more about Bruno as you have to be a member of that forum to get it. Bruno taught Linux at a University in Amsterdam here is another link.

Now I have said all I have to say about this matter.

 

That's still clear a mud. It's up to you to show where he said that new users should avoid Linux not us.

 

Here is some light reading, lol, The Raspberry Pi Thread

 

Thanks.. I'll be checking that out.
Take care!!

 

Yeah, I think you dug the hole deep enough at this point. Fine by me.

 

It's a bit like workmen walking into your home uninvited with lots of tools just because you left the door unlocked, telling you they have come to replace the double glazing, fit new doors, repaint, and put new carpets in.

When you say to them "No thanks I really love my house the way it is'' then they tell you that well okay, but they will leave all their tools in your house just in case you change your mind.

So much for Microsoft saying that the earlier auto update was a mistake (yeah right) they clearly saw a bump in Windows 10 uptake from unsuspecting users and are trying to pull the same dishonest trick, but thinking it's okay because they told people about it in advance. Just how desperate are they ?

 

We will get a better picture in about 48 hours when the October 15 OS Market-share number come in. MS better be careful, what if they disable a system that is performing a critical function and it results in some real damage?.

 

I hate when that happens , tools are easy to trip over and my place isn't big enough to deal with extra tools .

You got spunk my friend and i agree with everything you say , MS is clearly out of control.

 

Yes but when I say it I get slammed.*Smile

 

And don't think i don't appreciate you taking the hit because i do .

 

If you ever see those workmen again, send them to my place, I don't mind getting stuff done for nothing.

 

One of the main reasons I hate Windows 10 is not because it's a bad OS in itself, but rather, the ETHICS behind it. MSFT pretty much FORCING people to upgrade to it is not my cup of tea. Also, they're instance that Windows 10 is "the most secure Windows ever" and their joking around with the cat pictures are not funny.

 

If the OS was tolerable and not jam packed with so much crap that Microsoft makes it much harder to remove then it should be the ethics part i could probably get over .

I don't have to like MS to use their products if i happened to like the product but after trying 10 for 6 weeks i became to dislike it more and more every day .

A HUGE problem is that with every release the user has less and less control and thats just not going to work with me . I have to be able to customize and EASILY get rid of things that i know i will never use and thats just not the case with Win 10.
