As if I needed more reasons to avoid Windows 10. The level of user hostility emergent from this OS is absurd.

The shame is I want to love it. The engineers made some great improvements under the hood. But the product decisions are a disaster. It's like an out of control dog with an owner that just doesn't care, who shits in the middle of your meticulously maintained PC and pisses your privacy all over the neighborhood.

This would be a good reply anytime someone goes the generalist 'Microsoft does this and that and that and that and it's all bad' way. I've always found it somewhat strange how many people don't seem to realize there's x different divisions within Microsoft, and that's it's somewhat unfair to call all of it crap just because some lame in-your-face management-crap. Not that the latter is acceptable, but as you say: other divisions have been doing some neat things for the past decades..

Honestly, why should a customer care? If half of microsoft is sane and the other half retarded, the result will be retarded. The customer should be able to say microsoft as an entity is retarded. They have plenty of management to figure the details out themselves

There's plenty of bright and good people working for Microsoft, even producing some decent software. But Microsoft as a corporation remains harmful and untrustworthy.
