Entertainment Value
Long time reader, first time poster. One thing about these Reg comment sections is the relative entertainment value. The articles themselves are typically just unhelpful sarcastic whinging but the comments just ramp that up even more! Hilarious!
I've grown up with Macs and OS X as that's what was at home and throughout school, so that's probably what I know how to use best. Now that I work, I have use Windows. The bravehearts could opt-in and install Windows 10, so I did. I personally don't have a problem with Windows 10 because the live tiles gives me a quick glance at what's going on without having to launch anything. Not every tile I have is 'live', but things like exchange rates, news headlines, new emails, it works great for me. Anything programs I use often, they are pinned to the taskbar and launch in a single-click.
Being a non-IT bloke, I personally like Windows 10. There's an equivalent OS X feature for everything that Windows 10 has, Siri - Cortana, OneDrive - iCloud, iTunes - Groove Music, App Store - Windows Store, etc. Since IT blokes seem to be the audience here, what I like is relative, and probably translates more into what I'm comfortable with, which is OS X. If I had to use Windows 10 full time, I'd be cool with it. I think Microsoft's unenviable problem is they are trying to make pizza for a billion people, which means a couple of hundred million will hate it, a couple of hundred million will stay with just pepperoni, and 50 million won't eat the pizza and go out and get a burger instead. I think they will backflip on the forced automatic updates at some point, and maybe some of the privacy stuff.
