Haven't used Windows for over 10 years and I'm surprised to see how far it has fallen.

It's weird to me that the author thinks of these problems as mere annoyances. To me it's utterly ridiculous to have any of these features be part of an OS.

It's like I bought a big advertisement machine.

Tried it out recently and was greeted with the usual endless automatic updates and messing up my dual boot.

What's with the "people" tab? This is the kind of half-drunk idea I've come to expect from Microsoft. When I want to talk to people on Skype, I open Skype. It might be a nice abstraction at a very high level mentally (these are apps I use to talk to "people"), but it seems pointless to have this in software.
