Microsoft starts to fix Start Menu in new Windows 10 preview

Re: Serious Question

Serious answer: You are correct, there's really no need. They'll be improving/expanding this OS over the next decade, but Rome wasn't built in a day. I'd like to see the folder functionality I have on my Windows phone ( Lumia 1020, beotches) brought to my Desktop. Nice, as that's the only way to really manage such a large collection of tiles.

M$ . . . that's so cute, are kids still doing that these days? M$ he says.

Re: It is almost as if MS don't want the likes of us to use it

Right, the world breathlessly awaits your insight.killed off Cortana AND OneDrive right off the bat, didja? Yeah, useless features to be sure. Listen, why don't you go back to playin' with that tutti-frutti version of Linus you're so hot on. The rest of the world is moving to 10, believe it.

Windows 10 climbs to 3.55 per cent market share, Win 8.1 dips

Re: Autoplay Ads

Not with Edge. Pop it in reading mode and the adverts are gone. Advert blockers are so yesterday.

I look forward to the day when the ONLY downloads available to my Windows machine are through the store. Vetted, approved, safe.

Re: @AC - the numbers arent right

You need serious, professional help.

Re: the numbers arent right

Yeah, I'm a fanboi and know quite a few people who have upgraded without issue and are very happy for it. A billion devices, baby, a billion devices. It's going to happen. Deal with it.

Re: I fucking hate

I can't live without it.

Re: Enough of people complaining about Windows 10's "keylogger"

There are a lot of people who should be concerned about their computing habits. They should be very concerned about themselves, not MS, Google, or CrApple. Take Windows 10 off the table and look in the mirror.

Microsoft will explain only 'significant' Windows 10 updates

Re: Basically

Oh, we can do LOTS better. But wasting keyboard strokes to chastise the Linux tribe is like throwing pennies into a pond for the blind. They hear the splash, but they'll never figure it out.

Re: It is almost as if MS don't want the likes of us to use it

Yes, people who do lots of naughty things on their devices should definitely be concerned about the "privacy" issues surrounding Windows 10. Me? Cortana tracks my shipments right to my door (she pulled the info from my e-mail receipts), opens specific files on command whether OneDrive or local based, and is great at scheduling appointments, reminders, and all things Office. The store has really improved as I can now buy an app once and install it in many cases on up to ten (10) devices. 'Course, the store needs to know who I am to make this happen and can recommend other apps I never would have tried based on my app history. As for Groove, well, I'm a believer and a subscriber. Apple Music? Just, why?

But, yeah. I get that you're disabling all of this productive functionality in the name of "privacy." Right. Completely reasonable.

I wonder how large the army of data reviewers is that Microsoft has employed to root through your stuff. Or is it all an automated effort designed to make you moe productive, as clearly stated in the new, easy-to-read-and-understand terms?

Really, do you suppose that CIA has another CIA to spy on the first one? Sober up.
