Windows 10 Pro means business

How does Microsoft consider this a Professional Operating System or "Service" when you load games, Windows Store and other persistent garbage. That's not professional Microsoft. You're talking out of both sides of your mouth if you think it is.​

The Business world does not run on X-Box or Candy Crush. Maybe those are acceptable apps in Redmond but they are not acceptable in daily business by the customers that relay on Microsoft to provide a "PROFESSIONAL" operating system. I have better things to do with my time than uninstall garbage that has no place in a "Professional Business Environment". Microsoft needs to start to get the picture. You want everyone to buy your products but you fail consistently to listen to your customers. How are X-Box and Candy Crush and all the other garbage installed and reinstalled with every update essential business features? Microsoft touts get more done. Maybe Microsoft fails to understand what more is. By adding and re-adding garbage like X-Box and Candy Crush I am getting less done. Because with every update I have to uninstall this garbage as Microsoft installs it with every update.​

I understand that some White collar on high is making the decision to add this garbage. Bottom line, Microsoft is not in the position to redefine what Professional means. Professional Managers, Owners, business persons fire employees who play games at work. In no way shape or form does Windows 10 Pro come across as a Professional Operating System. Maybe you should read your own words above. Whomever wrote the blurbs above is obviously misinformed or has no idea what the word professional means with regard to for profit business sense!​

Built-in security, productivity and management features save you time, money, and hassle.​

Has anyone with more than a 5th grade education read that statement? Its a total LIE! Let me define hassle for your so you can get my point; Having to uninstall garbage software is a Hassle, you know like with every update of Windows 10 I have to go in and uninstall Candy Crush, Microsoft Store, X-Box. THAT'S A HASSLE!!! ​

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files.
