And by the way, I want to add that it's idiocy like this that's slowly
choking off the world of computing for the general public. Many of my
friends and relatives no longer use their computers and several have
even gotten rid of them. "I just use my cell phone for what I need" is a
refrain I commonly hear.

Microsoft has completely lost touch with the fact that there's only so
much complexity that their end users will tolerate.

I myself, routinely have been spending well over an hour every morning
simply dealing with Windows 10 issues and attempting to make sense of
the OS. I'm rapidly nearing the end of that road.

IMO, the best way to use computers these days is to have two of them:
-an air-gapped one running, say, Windows 7, main data storage (screw th
"cloud") and all the programs a person likes. This one is for actually
getting things done.

-one with only absolutely necessary programs, as little data stored on
it as possible and running an updated current version of Windows OR an
Apple computer. This one would be for connecting to the internet and
getting your email.

Fuck Microsoft. They're a pack of assholes.
