It’s the “you can delay” bit. It’s MY machine. If I don’t want the update so be it. I get the windows os is a liscence not a purchase, so they have every right. That doesn’t mean I have to like it, and I’m happy there are alternatives. That permeates through the whole OS. If theres software I don’t want, just because I don’t like the name, I can remove it.
That might not matter to you, but it matters to a lot of people. Enough, in fact, to build an maintain multiple operating systems, as it turns out.
If your fine want updates you can literally just… Duane them through group policy. But that’s not a good idea. What they are forcing are security updates. You really want those. They don’t take very long at all and their effectiveness increases based on how many people are up to date. The more people who are up to date the more difficult and expensive it is to create malicious software, it also becomes more difficult to spread malicious software to begin with.
That sounds very much more convoluted than what I’m doing now, which also allows me to not have polls on what my favorite BBQ side dish is in my menu options. So again, happy it works for you, but I’ll stick to linux thanks.
What what? Do you mean about how windows is putting surveys around that random cooking channel type stuff in the search bar? In in US I can promise yes that happens. And in regards to what you mentioned about disabling updates, I can’t do that a usual usuer.
So again I say: Cool. All within your rights. But I’m out.
What? We were talking about updates and now something completely different? I have like 7 windows 11 machines none are making me fill out polls. What search bar are you even talking about?
