Quote:Is anyone using this right now?

 

I downloaded and installed it into a virtual machine to check it out, and let's just say that I don't like what I see.  I allocated 8GB of RAM and 4 processors to the virtual machine, and even with those resources, it seems to be kind of sluggish.

 

Internet Explorer is now called Microsoft Edge.  This has got to be the absolute worst browser that I've ever used.  I would even call some of the "default" settings reckless if not dangerous.

 

Probably the most disturbing is the many areas where "default settings" for applications contact the "mother ship" that being Microsoft.  Want a bit of privacy regarding your browsing, writing and usage habits when using your computer?  You better explore the settings.

 

I would encourage people to actually read Microsoft's Privacy (or lack thereof) Statement.  Here are a few relevant things that I don't like.

 

 

 

Some may call me paranoid or whatever, but I'm one that fully believes that a computer operating system should just run the computer, not report in to the creator of said operating system.  It should be efficient, do it's job well and allow me to decide which programs and/or applications that I want to use.  The default settings should be safe in order to protect the user.

 

It's only a matter of time when several zero days emerge that will make this operating system even more vulnerable than previous versions of Windows.  I myself have already seen a potential exploit.
 

Microsoft has become too complacent, and over estimates customer's unwillingness to change when quality continues to fail over a decade.
