Haha. Yep, time for people to switch over to Linux.

Dotnet core runs there just fine, what's holding you back? Surely it's not 
driver support or anything right?

Kids theses days... Want everything now now now, and then when they get it, 
they cry. Bit like wanting to go to the shops, and then having to be dragged 
there crying. ;)

Welcome to the future. Let's hope you like it because you can't go back in time 
(yet)

Subject: [OT] Big Windows 10 update



Folks, I didn't know it was coming, but I accepted a big Windows 10 update last 
night. An unfamiliar large blue notification tray window warned me it was a 
major update that would take a while. So I went and talked to the cats while it 
updated.



Well, this is a big update. User profiles seem to be recreated on first login. 
Wallpaper went black. All The crappy Universal apps I removed came back, 
including new ones like "Mixed Reality" that you can't get rid of, even using 
PowerShell as real Admin. All file-open dialogs changed size. The Start menu 
was full of dozens of repeated "NoUIEntryPoints-DesignMode" items and other app 
menus that were never seen before. Registry adjustments to take stupid nodes 
out of the Windows Explorer tree were undone. New icons appeared in the tray by 
default (but could be hidden). And other little things as well... I spent over 
an hour trying to clean all the "garbage" out again.



Overall, I'm quite pissed off. Every major Windows update seems to take more 
and more control away from me, and I'm being told what I should use and like (I 
can use a Mac if want that!).



So just a warning.

I’ve had the last two updates break mobile device configuration as well.
