      Seriously wtf.

      It's a non-serious OS for non-serious users. To be expected.

      Surely YOU'RE not serious.

      So you think Soda Crush Saga and ads all over the place are things you'd call "business ready"?

        It shouldn't even be home ready either.

          Well, when you buy the "business" version of Windows 10 (Win10 Enterprise), you can control that stuff easily.

          Perhaps "Enterprise" version shouldn't include that stuff, but Home and Pro should. At least you can easily control it with Enterprise.

            Needing to control is the same as having it there. That's like bloatware on non-business laptops. Yeah, you can "control" it, the need to control it is what lets you know it's intended as a toy.

              And it kinda isn't. It's definitely designed to not be safe for home users, very hard to tell what's really there and what is an ad. I would say that Windows 10 has built in social engineering that makes it itself malware at this point.

                It will be a sad year 2020 when the last best Microsoft OS leaves us....

                Only so sad because...

                1. It left us effectively long ago.
                2. It was never as good as non-Windows alternatives. Just seems good compared to more current Windows.

                I agree that the alternatives are superior, I've got many Linux servers running pbx's, nextcloud, hosting etc but unfortunately many businesses I support are still using bespoke windows applications that you just cannot get away from.

                  Which, in a way, makes those apps not business ready 😉

                      Wrong Answer.

                      Right Answer:
                      Of course I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.
