@LukeAlmighty @sjw@neckbeard.xyz Microsoft started marketing Windows 10 as a "service" and used that to justify mandatory updates and remotely deleting Linux partitions among other things (though I think they stopped doing the latter). I still don't know why people put up with this. There are so many clips of streamers who got scheduled restarts mid-stream.

Windows 8 had elements of this. I didn't like how it had news notifications from MSNBC by default or the required MSN account I mentioned earlier. Windows 7 was the last one where your computer really felt like it was yours.
