>Do you like windows 10?
No. Fuck the store. Fuck the layout. Fuck the botnet. Also fuck micrsoft for shoving it down our throats all year like they believe only cortana's shiny blue ass could save our souls from eternal torment in the fiery pits of hell.
>So why would I ever want it?
It’s supposed to be microsoft’s last OS, so we'll eventually start seeing more and more programs that require either Windows 10 or its (goddamn) app store. This includes any games that require DirectX12 and the library of future Xbone crossovers. Microsoft also builds a lot of security advancements into it’s newer OSes that never reach the old ones, so infection rates tend to be a lot lower. And that’s even before Windows 7 stops receiving security updates in 2020 (like that shit that went down with XP a while back), so anyone who wants to keep using their shit as long as possible might want to keep their options open.
