        I can’t take an OS with ads seriously. It’s a fucking joke. And any business that uses it is a joke, too.

        Just a vector for malware.

          I still don’t understand this. I’ve never, ever, seen an ad on Microsoft. Is it an EU thing? Finland thing? Why is it?

          I have 3 PCs with windows, my kids have windows, every work laptop I’ve ever had has had windows.

          Never an ad.

          Unfortunately corporations are addicted to the micromanaging control that Active Directory gives to them. They don’t give a single flying fuck about the actual experience of using the OS, that’s a problem for the plebians, they care that AD let’s them do things like lock everyone’s background to a corporate approved image or force everyone to use Edge as their browser while disabling the password saving feature.

          Basically the OS is irrelevant, it’s all about Active Directory.

            Try being a sysadmin in a decent sized company (500+ employees) and you’ll understand why.

              I’ve been in one of those, we moved to samba first and to ubuntu later, in the end of the day we only really needed updates and centralized login storage. There were like 10 windows machines for accounting.
