- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

Then, why it has ads on start menu?
Never had any ads in 10 or 11
Nor did I. Considering it was an upgrade from Win 8 as well.
I think it might be American thing.
Yep, I configure it with English UK as the windows display language then adjust my settings based on my real needs.
And half of the settings moved from old control panel to a new crappy UI settings. At least commit and move all of them.
I never find what I am looking for in there, without opening and closing a bunch of windows. I swear they regularly move location of some settings. Search function is pretty bad too.
Oh they want to, but i bet that shit's so intertwined that removing old audio menu will make your display output stop working.
If you dunno how to switch that off in 3 clicks you should probably stay away from computers mate lol
the ads in a paid os shouldn't be a thing to begin with.
Agreed, but to say an operating system is so much worse because 3 clicks when comparing overall functionality seems highly exaggerated. There is a reason most companies went from 7 to 10 and skipped 8. They are also going to 11. You could argue that enterprise OS's are separate though, but really they are very similar, and the reason windows does so well in companies is because most users have it at home. If most users go to something else at home, (or simply stop using home computers with the switch to phones, tablets) then enterprise will change and slowly feed the prominent OS for work back to home use. It's a catch 22. If the standard user has to use something 40 hours a week at work, when they come home that is what they will be used to. Also what their kids will become used to. But companies don't like to change what people are used to, as it slows production, and costs a lot more in training.
Yup, reasonable points.
But, it is 3 clicks for now, but it might not even be an option later on. Yea yea, doomer and tinfoilhats. :)
