alt Hacker NewsThis was an issue, but at this point Microsoft is placing ads everywhere, negative news on my desktop, and update nags with changing buttons in every other start. Nothing about it is smooth or consistent anymore.
Seriously I've learned about the death of hundreds of people when I switched on my music PC (the only reason I have one windows machine is music software) - I haven't asked for this, and I removed news before, they just patched it back in

Have you considered going offline for the music PC? I took an old rig off and stuck it with win10.
I have one setup with all my media/games and have removed every piece of Microsoft possible.

None of those issues are a problem for corporate managed Windows installations, which would be the proper comparator in the case given in the article.
There are other reasons that Windows sucks, even (or especially?) in a corporate environment, just not those.
