I am no longer using windows 10.
So why am I back to 7?
While I like windows 10 there are too many things about it that make it not so practical for me.
Among other reasons here is one of them...
A new editorial by BetaNews columnist Mark Wilson argues that Windows 10 isn't an operating system -- it's "a vehicle for ads".
An anonymous reader quotes their report:
They appear in the Start menu, in the taskbar, in the Action Center, in Explorer, in the Ink Workspace, on the Lock Screen, in the Share tool, in the Windows Store and even in File Explorer.
Microsoft has lost its grip on what is acceptable, and even goes as far
as pretending that these ads serve users more than the company -- "these
are suggestions", "this is a promoted app", "we thought you'd like to
know that Edge uses less battery than Chrome", "playable ads let you try
out apps without installing".
But if we're honest, the company is doing
nothing more than abusing its position, using Windows 10 to promote its
own tools and services, or those with which it has marketing
arrangements.
The article suggests ads are part of the hidden price tag for the free downloads of Windows 10 that Microsoft offered last year (along with the telemetry and other user-tracking features).
Their article has already received 357 comments, and concludes that the prevalence of ads in Windows 10 is "indefensible".

My windows seven boots up faster and just seems more responsive to my input and commands.
I guess when the OS doesn't have the distraction of having to dish up ads and inane suggestions it can do it's job a bit faster.
