The problem with 10 isn't the interface, it's the extensive tracking and privacy invading "features".

That's one of the reasons why I use Linux. If a distribution decides to add in tracking or ads, people will quickly find that out and I can switch to another one.

I don't worry about the tracking; I've turned all of it off, and my network is secure (I know, I built it).
Plus I don't do things like store personal banking and SS numbers on any of my computers.
But I do agree with you to a degree, most people would not know how to turn off or block "features" like I did.

When did he say that? Bill left MS years ago and other people are taking it in a direction they feel is right <doesn't mean it is>.
I really don't have a problem with MS; I use what I need and don't concern myself with the rest; that works just fine for me.

He only left 9 years ago. The warning used to be on the label on OEM packages and it was discussed in some detail when the EU wouldn't use MS on the International Space Station because of Blue Screen of Death.
Unix SVr3.2 and later were so stable that the various manufactures put a cron job in to do a reboot once a year. It was recommended, but not required, that that cron be left in.
