Windows 10 News and Announcements...

When Govt agency pressurize a company they will do these things to give people false sense of privacy protection and world peace.

 

I'm sick of it. Bro @Mr. Fox you want this move? Worse and worse for each new OS version.

Microsoft Will Update Notepad Through Windows 10’s Store Htg.com | Aug 16, 2019

While surprising at first, it shouldn’t be a shock when you consider other recent developments. More and more apps have been casually moving outside of Windows to the Store. The new Windows Terminal application is delivered through the Store, and Microsoft’s new Chromium-based Edge web browser will also be updated through the Store more often than every six months.

 

Hmmm. I've to waste 1GB for app updates after fresh install. It seems I've to replace everything inside Win 10 for 3rd party when you can't even use notepad application w/o updates. Not much difference from Mac OS or iOS nowadays......

 

Would you trust on this man and the company he is CEO for?

I trust Nadella but not his underlings. Haha...

 

I tend to agree, Satya seems to be a decent dude. Now if it were Ballmer still running the company then a big hell no from me.

 

Paint and WordPad Will Be Optional Features in Windows 10 Winaero.com | Aug 18, 2019

As you may remember, the good old Paint app was destined to become an optional feature in Windows 10. The latest Insider Preview build 18963 indicates that WordPad shares the same fate as Paint.

The optional features page in Build 18963 now lists both Paint and Wordpad apps. This means that both apps can be uninstalled, and they can also be eventually excluded from the default app set of Windows 10.

 

If only telemetry or even the other crap like useless games and useless apps no one uses were optional too... They should release LTSC for the general public and call it: Windows 10 CF (Crap Free) and allow us to buy a single license for it..

I know I would purchase it as soon as it came out

 

No, we obviously can't trust him since the actual things he is allowing his company to do are bad. You can't judge him as his PR presents him, you have to judge him on his end works.

"...making computing more personal. In all of this, we will maintain the timeless value of privacy and preserve the ability for you to control your data"

"making computing more personal"

"Make no mistake, we are after you personally..."

"timeless value of privacy"

"Your personal privacy has timeless value to us and to whomever will pay us for it..."

If the setup is a wrapper of twisted deceptions of the truth then the package they are trying to deceive me about must be an even bigger lie.

"[to] preserve the ability for you to control your data"

"We are not only going to take your data from you, we are going to control your ability to stop us from taking it."

Their truth is barely hidden by lies, their lies merely frame that which we must be wary about.
