Microsoft act with utter contempt for their users. I now recommend to anyone who asks me that they purchase a Mac instead. Their machines will last longer, they will get better customer support, and they won’t have to put up with stupid shit like this. I can’t in good conscience recommend Windows any longer.


Apple may be better but they’re getting into using their OS to push ads themselves. Only Linux is truly free of adware, at least if you install the right distro.


No company is better. Any company that tries to do better is driven to bankruptcy by market forces.

Don't buy a Mac - they may not have ads but they have their own problems. Your best option is apparently to buy a PC and run Linux.
