Microsoft Windows

Windows 10 is a far cry better than Windows 8, which has many advances over windows 7. To anyone who says 'if it ain't broke... blah... blah... blah" just remember, horses and buggies weren't broke when they came up with cars. Things sometimes gotta change when we make progress... unless of course you're a Luddite.

And to those of you who are gonna claim I work for Microsoft. Yep. I do. I get paid $1000 bucks everytime someone says that, so keep 'em coming!

Bill Gates masterpiece of being the right smart guy, in the right place, at the right time has fallen into a rabbit hole. Those annoying formating errors, forced updates, and "Experience" spyware tools are a mystery. Overall,.the OS seems to do the jobs that make life more organized,... like documents & images.

Slow, Microsoft edge not responding, barely functional, dysfunctional at most, avoid any investment in Microsoft. If you like operating systems that does not respond, Microsoft is the way to go! If you like promotional dysfunctionality when printing and any other important work, Microsoft will slow your progress to a crawl and turn ten minutes of work into hours and inhaling entire days for simple functions for their promotional interests, go Microsoft, waste massive amounts of time, effort and sanity for their money-making sake.

Bet Micro$oft Windows runs smooth in their lab, but something gets lost in the real world.
Ridiculous rebooting seems to solve some glitches sometimes.

Reminds me a bit of the Titanic. All the hype and propaganda but launched like six months prematurely and grave over sights just scream at you reminding you that the ground beneath your feet is not solid. Spent the first three days with my new laptop on the phone to Dell Techs over Sooo many compatibility issues. Nearly lost her (the laptop) but good old Chris retrieved her not like poor jack on that floating piece of kindling., Hours literally we spent. It's disgusting that I hear Microsoft are now enforcing upgrades to the unwary through what always seemed like that cozy secure snug windows update. It's update or else NO more support for you oldies on your Vistas and 7's etc. Win 10 is also allegedly and it wouldn't be surprising the most efficient spy in your life now. So please cut the naive CRAP, yes you have cars now but can you still fix them yourselves. No. Get the drift?. I doubt it.

For 6 years I have been working with Windows 10 then 11 to get things running. When I finallu do. Even through I have programmed it not to update, and it is not connected to the internet it manages to updare and redamage all software so we have to start over. It's like it's actually prewritten into packages to regularly screw up. I can't even get file explorer to work without forcing it to crash. If you have an older version that does work, they send it packages to stop working, or you'll just wake up with a newer version. Whether you want it or not. I had 98 on a laptop. I'd manually update what I wanted. No issue. Their update forced the computer to overheat. What Rhett do should be illegal. Not just me, but paid services & their own techs can't get it to work right. I'm doing this by smart phone, because neither computer can do it.

First off anyone in tech knows that Microsoft has always been somewhat shady. Ties to the NSA, Proprietary formats, Changing formats with versions (office). Windows 10 is no different what Microsoft does is generally makes aesthetic changes and a few tweaks and calls it a new product. Their methods are nothing short of Draconian.
I have fixed countless computers of friends, family, and coworkers because of unwanted windows 10 upgrades. Broken drivers, Computers upgraded that are not 100% supported, meaning that with Windows 7 everything worked and with Windows 10 some things cannot work because there is no supporting software to make them work. Microsoft lost market share to Apple/Mac and some people defected to Linux. People are tired of getting bullied by Microsoft with all their lies and scams, licensing schemes and etc. Rumors of a "Software By Subscription" that may or may not be applied to the consumer market. It seems that companies Like Microsoft and Google (think chrome browser) just keep taking away choice from the consumers and jamming half baked software on the consumers. Windows 10 and Google Chrome have something in common UGLY user interfaces that can barely be customized at all. People should avoid ALL Microsoft and Google software and products. Both companies are all about money and they are both evil.

Windows + MS Office = Headaches. Constant updates reflect how often fixes are needed, why, because it's poorly vetted and just adding changes for change sake. Delays and reboots are regular occurrences. Plus many unnecessary additions to MS Office Suite - do we REALLY need a "sensitivity" icon in Excel, Viva Insights in Outlook to tell you what emails YOU wrote last week - when they are in your outbox anyway or an "Immersive reader", "translate" or to reply with a "meeting poll" - just more software to load to waste productive time? The basic product was good enough, it's all Buzzwords and Bull$&#t now!

These BAZILLION DOLLAR company's make me so sick! I am a low income adult and I qualified for a reduced priced computer to send out resumes and such. I didn't use it that often, like 3 times a week. It started to act up so badly, I couldn't do anything on it. I thought that I had done something wrong but come to find out it's all the bloat in windows 10. It takes numerous minutes to load a page or do anything. When I send out things it comes back with an error because it's going so slow. When I looked up online and finally realized that I did not do anything wrong, I called Microsoft. They will not revert my system back to the old operating system because I don't have a product key. I Explained to them that I got it refurbished and they don't care! They said it's my fault because I clicked the link to get Windows 10. She said I should have never clicked on it. If I want to go back to my old system I have to purchase the software. That's more expensive then the whole computer system I received. So if you haven't gone to Windows 10 yet, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK THAT POPS UP EVERY 5 MINUTES! I have no idea how I'm going to pay you for the software or to get the computer fixed they really don't understand how important a computer is to some people.

When going to Microsoft.com for drivers, updates, almost anything the solutions are not there Microsoft has chosen to allow 3rd party companies to do their solutions for important updates and errors their site has you cannot run your computers without using Microsoft but they persist in having a glossy website that does not take care of the consumer and their solutions generally do not work upgrades fail and they have enough money to have the latest of everything on their website instead they have forums that do not give correct info and 3rd party companies that are predatory - solution have an online 24 hour chat service that can answer questions on a website that has thousands of pages and confuses most of the people that visit.

I could see if Microsoft was a company that did not make money they do but they need to have stores like Apple where you can go in the store and get solutions for errors on the spot Apple is successful using this and Microsoft needs to upgrade their customer service.

The media player cannot be upgraded and that should be an easy upgrade just download the new version. IF MICROSOFT would improve their error messages, answer the customer's questions themselves instead of burdening the customers with 3rd party companies and fix the media player they would go back to being #1. People that are having computer problems should get answers immediately not search endlessly on the website for solutions people would love it and consider Microsoft first for that next computer.

Anyone with a PC is a hostage and knowing that MICROSOFT AND BILL GATES would be unrivaled with their services.
