Windows 10: Windows 10 Sucks! Can a new Windows be released? Open-source? Just called "Windows"?

Time for a rant!


This is getting ridiculous! Windows 10 sucks already! All the annoying mandatory upgrades particularly without the user's consent, advertising, privacy issues, and automatic installation of unwanted apps! At first, I thought Windows 10 was going to be everything I wanted it to be, and that at some point, Microsoft would want to shift its focus from Windows 10 to a successor version, probably simply called "Windows" with no unique version name. But, no! Microsoft is going full speed ahead with Windows 10, and continuing to release new upgrades twice a year, which I'm beginning to get a little tired of, because I have to upgrade my systems after that time. And, every time I request a feature like I want the OOBE First Boot to be very elaborate, with theme music remember Windows XP? and OEM customizations like a logo, custom background, activation of pre-installed anti-virus, etc.; just like with Windows XP as well that the user setting up their new computer would enjoy, Microsoft doesn't even listen! It's just ridiculous!


So, I am now at my Wit's End, and I don't know what to think of! But what I think of, is that it ishigh time for Microsoft to start working on a new version of Windows that would be community-driven, and best-of-all open-source. And, with that, I think it is also time forALL historic versions of Windows Windows 1.0 through 8.1 - Windows 10 in the future, due to existing support and, maybe all versions of MS-DOS v1.25 through 2.00 already open-source. And, with a new Windows platform, we can build a better Windows experience.


I am so hopeful that Microsoft would have a change of heart, and start announcing these changes after Windows 10 20H2 gets released.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10

Apologies if this has been posted already as I only did a quick search and didnt see anything crop up.

I just read an article about how Microsoft is skipping the name of Windows 9 all together and they are now calling it "Windows 10". It is going to unify all PC's, mobile phones, and tablets under a single operating system. Short quote and source link below:
