Windows 10

My ASUS laptop came with licensed Windows 10 pre-installed. So it provided no way to disable Windows Update, which is the most annoying thing in the universe. I tried to disable Windows Update service through services.msc and taskschd.msc, but Windows 10 kept re-enabling it and annoying me with useless updates.

So I took ownership over c:\Windows and physically deleted the service's files c:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll, qmgr.dll, TrustedInstaller.exe, and also SIHClient.exe and UsoClient.exe because I don't need that garbage. I won, there was no updating anymore. Yet Windows 10 started displaying "Activate Windows Go to Setting to activate Windows" text in bottom right corner.

There is no way to activate Windows 10 now, it says Error code: 0xC004F012 "We can't activate Windows on this device right now." So I had to use illegal activator software, which pirates use to activate Windows 10. That software got me viruses (besides the backdoors Microsoft already includes in Windows 10). So thank you, dear Microsoft, for destroying perfectly fine Windows NT and forcing users to go through this. Hope now my computer will be part of botnet, which will DDoS Microsoft.com. Better with viruses, than with Windows Update. Viruses behave much nicer than Windows Update and consume less resources. The choice is obvious! And I'm dead serious, without any trolling.

Good luck with your horrible software practices, Microsoft, you have managed to completely break what was good in Windows 7 and Windows XP!

You clearly don't understand how this works. If the FSF had adhered to ``Unix principle'' the way that you so painfully wax on about, the would have remade Unix.

They largely did at first, much more so than the major proprietary "Unix" vendors were doing.

Too bad none of the Plan9 veterans would agree with you on that.

Which one? Ken Thompson? Rob Pike? Why would they be ``disgruntled'' at the fact that Plan 9 concepts found their way into other operating systems? Do you have any proof of this? It's a research operating system just like the original AT&T Unix was, and went the same way as it as well, not meant in and of itself to be widely used, but systems based on it and its principles and concepts.

I'll also point out that most of the BSD community, including Theo hates it, because the omission of proprietary blobs makes the project elitist and inaccessible for many, which is why no one gives a shit about the project.

Theo hates everything, so that's not even an argument. And that's the whole point of a project like that, to completely eliminate proprietary software 100%. It's nice to see this idea branching out into the *BSD world instead of just confined to GNU.

And it's still a proprietary mess.

Yet you're okay with proprietary blobs.
