You know, this makes me quite uncomfortable,
and not just because it's causing problems with people who
have capped data.
If you thinks thats offensive, wait till you ....
a) on home editions, you can only have 1 login
b) the default to add child account (or an adult account) is
the mandatory creation of an email account at Microsoft.
c) if that account happens to be on a personal domain....
well that'll cost you at a min 3.10 or with office 7.99 / month
to set up office365 for work and an Azure Active Directory. (ok
you can setup a 'microsoft account' in which case all you data
belongs to the Us Gov. #fail) or setup you own AD on win2012
R2.
d) for a family of 4 to have login to a single machine, it
could cost about 40/month + 99 for every extra OS licence for
the other PC's because you need to upgrade to pro to have
anything sensible like multi user switching, remote desktop or
something other than a brain dead email client (mail) - ooh and
and #fail-again if you happen to have more than 5
people/devices.
e) you find out that the cheap pc from sainburys with 32GB is
already full and all you did was setup a user and it
automatically synced your and your families garbage over the
wire.
f) that basically all the UI is DOA unless you tick the give
all my movements, life-forces and live Audio video data to the
NSA buttons.
Man I have to use this stuff, but quite frankly avoid win 10
if you can, until some some sues the ... out of them for abuse
of monopoly, extortion and don't even get me started on store
and xbox store.... My kids would have me bankrupt in about a
week.
Long live linux .... but don't try to install it on a NSA
approve device. it's painful and ultimately pointless if the
distro isn't certified.
Basically secure computing as MS put it is a jail. A jail
where doing what you want to do has a price in $. No wonder they
are using the old strategy of flood the market with cheep free
alternative, force agreements with strategic player and dominate
the market place... then once we are all locked in.... you get
it.
Coincidence that the November edition of PC Pro (I'm a subscriber)
has a banner on the cover 'Not sold on Windows 10? Switch to Linux'
with a seven page spread inside?
