What do you know about your computer’s operating system, or OS?
Instead of keeping it simple, Bill Gates has created one mess after another with Windows. Windows 7 was decent. Windows 10 became a behemoth. Windows 11 is a nightmare.
10. Bill Gates has been fighting viruses since Windows 97. Plug up all the security holes that allows the intel community, including the National Security Agency (NSA), from browsing without a warrant, and hacking would be a thing of the past. Plus, customers would no longer have to purchase security software.
9. Having to purchase security software, because Windows is not a secure operating system from outside attacks.
8. Improvements are for Microsoft/Windows future needs, not helping the users.
7. Forced sign-ins to Microsoft accounts.
6. Microsoft Edge is mandatory and cannot be deleted from the OS.
5. One Drive is pushed as a default data/cloud storage.
4. Aggressive data collection that harms privacy as well as intellectual property (IP) rights.
3. Artificial Intelligence powered influence.
2. News only approved by a corporation as a slide out.
1. Windows OS has become a continuous TV commercial pushed onto customers. MS Office 365, Edge, One Drive, and the Microsoft Store are favored with little choices given to computer owners. It feels more like a cage, then my personal computer.
Bill Gates has lost the plot.
Users, like myself, who can take apart/rebuild a computer, code, beat the green, red, and black screens of death, are unamused by the prison Windows operating system and its associated software applications have become. I do not owe allegiance to a corporation. I purchase products.
I did not purchase a leash.
I disabled many of the forced functions and applications. Co-Pilot, Recall, and anything artificial intelligence related that I could. My copyrighted materials are on my computers. These creations, in addition to trademark and trade secrets, are not for another’s free perusal or training for models; therefore, Microsoft is in violation of federal law. No Terms of Service can save the corporation from their willful negligence against customers’ private data and privacy.
We need a tech revolution.
By Congressional investigation and regulation, and market correction, tech companies need to be reminded that the customers must be appeased, not their egos for world domination. Customers must contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about Microsoft/Windows’s deceptive and totalitarian business practices. These are customer purchased hardware. The software must reflect the owner’s intent.
Not a corporate vision of enslavement.
