That sums it up quite well. For me, the operating system is a part of the computer, just like the processor or the hard disk. It's the best case if it simply does what it should and stays out of the way otherwise.

I don't want to adore it. I don't need updates every day. I don't hyperventilate over new features (which I quite often don't use anyway). And that's, from Microsoft's view, a problem. I'm not supposed to be too happy with that thing as it is. They want to usher me to their next grand vision, no matter how credible their ideas look after the minor errors of the last ten years. Vista was a mistake, Win 8 was a mistake and now the shady little tricks to get people to upgrade to Win 10 were just short of the ways criminals trick you into installing their malware on your computer.

If every company from which I ever bought something from would behave that way, I would feel like a masochist for putting up with their ideas. And no, Ryan, it's not ok just because others try to do the same. If they do, they are also on their way out. As things are now, I will not bet a single cent on Microsoft and that's the only thing in the world that may persuade them to think over their behavior. If you let them get away with it, they will only get worse.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.
